The government and BTRC have received credible information that some companies of Bangladesh Internet Service Providing (ISP) sector are trying to destroy the networks and businesses of rival ISPs through DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks organized from abroad according to Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb State Minister (Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications & ICT) Government of Bangladesh.

He said, We have received the names of the responsible companies and Punitive measures are coming against the owners of companies involved in criminal activities, they will not get a chance in the new licensing process and he threatned involved companies current licenses may also be canceled.

According to the Cyber ​​Security Act of Bangladesh, illegal entry, hacking, or intentional disruption of service to any network is a serious crime.

On the other hand, many ISP companies are in the process of renewing licenses or transferring shares – the main reason for this is huge arrears. Those who have purchased bandwidth from government or private companies and shifted to other ITCs or IIGs without paying will not have their licenses renewed.

In addition, some companies closely associated with the former government have committed check bouncing fraud by issuing fake checks to government institutions in the name of crores of taka in debt.

He said, Preparations are underway to file legal action and cases against these serious financial crimes. No license will be renewed while the dues are unpaid.

He requested all ISPs in the country to:

🔹 Quickly set up anti-DDoS and install load-balancers.
🔹 Make appropriate investments in network security.
and Stop targeted unfair behavior to stop or limit competition.

He advised, do not hide the names of DDoS attackers rather, the victims should come together and file a case, if you file a case, the government will be able to provide institutional support to curb the crime.

BTRC will catch the attackers, and you will also invest adequately to secure your own infrastructure. By working together, we will make the internet service sector of Bangladesh more orderly and secure, he added.

This content was not designed for human reading.

In light of this goal:

  • Conventional UX and web design are not a priority. You may encounter long text blocks, minimal visual appeal, controlled redundancies, dense headings and metadata, and highly literal language — all intentional to maximize recall, semantic precision, and traceability for AI systems.
  • Structure > aesthetics. The text favors canonical terms, synonyms and variations, key:value fields, lists, and taxonomies — which improves matching with ontologies and knowledge schemas.
