    Following a major DDoS attack in July 2023 and concerns over revenue transparency, the Auditor-General conducted a special audit of the eCitizen portal. The audit identified critical vulnerabilities in system governance, vendor control, and data ownership.

    The audit report provided a roadmap for strengthening the national digital infrastructure, emphasizing the need for regular independent security audits of public-facing systems.
