While filing this report, the website has been taken down with a notice saying “We’re currently down for maintenance, check back soon!”.

This is not the first time the state-owned mobile operator has been reportedly hacked. In 2016 there were claims of a hack of Teletalk’s server though no confounded proof was found later.
With a current subscriber base of 6.27 Million, Teletalk started its operation back in 2004.
