Some online services suspended

For the sake of prudence, the Electrical & Mechanical Services Department announced that it suspended several online services after it suspected that part of its network system had been hacked.   Apart from explaining that the initial decision to temporarily suspend some online services was due to an abnormality found in the network system today, the department expressed that it is very concerned about the incident.   An initial investigation revealed that no leakage of personal data has been found.    Online services including Registration & Permit Office Appointment Booking, the Online Continuous Professional Development Training Platform for Registered Electrical Workers and the electronic platform for the lift and escalator trade have been suspended.   For prudence's sake, the department made it clear that it will notify people concerned and added that if anyone encounters any suspicious circumstances, they should report it to Police promptly.   It apologised

US notice condemned

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today strongly condemned the Implementation of Employment Authorization for Individuals Covered by Deferred Enforced Departure for Hong Kong notice issued by the US authorities.   In a statement, the Hong Kong SAR Government pointed out that this notice equates to the US offering a so-called safe haven to wanted fugitives who have escaped from Hong Kong in an attempt to evade justice by hiding in foreign countries including the US.   Governments that not only harbour but invite or encourage fugitive offenders to live in their countries wantonly disregard the rule of law and expose their hypocrisy, it stressed.   Countries taking such actions should take full responsibility for unnecessarily stoking tensions with the motherland, the Hong Kong SAR Government noted.   It also urged the US to stop their blatant interference in Hong Kong matters which are the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China.
