The Hydrological Information Management System (HIMS), a critical infrastructure platform operated by the Government of Bangladesh under the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), has allegedly been compromised. Access and data from the site, which serves as a vital platform for the Flood Forecasting and Warning Center (FFWC) in a country highly susceptible to monsoon flooding, are reportedly being offered for sale for $100.
According to the actor, the allegedly compromised data includes:
-
River levels, groundwater, and rainfall data across Bangladesh
-
Real-time alerts and warnings for flood forecasting
-
Historical hydrological reports
-
Water quality data
-
Information on the status of dams and irrigation systems
-
Data supporting the “Bangladesh Weather and Climate Services Regional Project” (BWCSRP)
