Seventh consecutive Overall Excellence win for LOLC Finance at LankaPay ...
Conrad Dias, Chairman, LOLC Finance PLC and Krishan Thilakaratne, Director/Chief Executive Officer, LOLC Finance PLC together with the LOLC Finance team accepting the Overall Excellence Award at Technnovation Awards 2026 Business Cyber heist at External Resources Dept: Funds diverted in email hack, CID probe underway Published 4 hours agoon 2026/04/24 Deputy Finance Minister Dr. Anil Jayantha Fernando A suspected cyber fraud targeting Sri Lanka’s Department of External Resources has triggered a high-level investigation after hackers allegedly manipulated official email communications to divert funds to unauthorised overseas accounts, Deputy Finance Minister Dr. Anil Jayantha Fernando said. The sophisticated breach is believed to have involved the interception and alteration of email exchanges between the Department and Export Finance Australia, raising serious concerns over vulnerabilities in the Government’s digital financial communication systems. According to the Deputy Minister, the fraud came to light following suspicious changes detected in bank account details linked to a payment transaction involving India. This anomaly prompted officials to scrutinise prior correspondence, eventually uncovering what appears to be a coordinated cyber intrusion designed to reroute funds. “This was not a routine technical glitch. There is clear indication of external interference where communication trails have been tampered with,” Jayantha said, noting that complaints had already been lodged with law enforcement authorities. “Investigations are now being handled by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which is probing the extent of the breach, the financial losses incurred, and the possible involvement of international cybercrime networks”. Financial analysts warn that the incident underscores growing risks faced by state institutions engaged in cross-border financing arrangements, particularly when relying heavily on unsecured or inadequately protected communication channels. The Department of External Resources plays a pivotal role in managing Sri Lanka’s foreign-funded projects and liaising with international lenders and export credit agencies. Any compromise in its communication systems could have far-reaching implications for investor confidence and the country’s financial credibility. Authorities are expected to review existing cybersecurity protocols across key financial institutions in the wake of the breach, with calls mounting for tighter safegu...
