Hacked in June, PDD data center to have its maintenance contract in two months

The Distribution Wing of the Power Development Department (PDD) is finally going to have an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for its Bemina data center.

The move, aimed to keep the data centre protected and up to date, comes two years after the contract expired and left the data center without maintenance cover.

The officials said that the need to have an updated annual maintenance contract was felt more when the data center faced a major malware attack on June 24, leaving all its online services defunct.

According to official documents of the department, the tenders for AMC have already been floated and would be awarded in a month or two.
