He said, we are cautious. Earlier there were cyber attacks but the attackers were not successful. Salahuddin Salim, Broadcasting Head of Somoy Television and Information Technology Expert, told the broadcasting system here is mainly of two types, one is satellite and the other is internet based.
Currently, hackers target most established channels of social media to carry out hacking activities. Because many channels love broadcasting through social media, digital content is their target point. Hackers also attack the company’s website. In this case, even if it is hacked, it can be recovered in less time. But since social media is controlled from outside, it takes time to return.
Salahuddin Salim said, there are also issues of caution in our satellite broadcasting. Because, our native TV channels are on-air through Bangabandhu Satellite. The content of all the channels of the country is sent to Bangabandhu Satellite through fiber optic from the channels through fiber optic. So safety must be ensured from the channel to the ground station. If there is an attack in this process, the possibility of disruption of the transmission cannot be ruled out.
