The Daylight, a news website run by an environmental nonprofit organization, has experienced a series of cyber-attacks from a group which is the subject of investigative stories published by the outlet.
The outlet is Liberia’s leading environmental news platform that publishes evidence-based, independent, news content.
Recently, Daylight’s investigation revealed an illegal Rock Quarry in Harrisburg, Montserrado County, that is polluting the environment. The investigation revealed that the quarry company used explosions which destroyed houses, while it backfilled water sources used by residents.
The investigation prompted the House of Representatives Committee on Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and Environment to launch an investigation into the company.
According to James Harding Giahyue, Managing Editor of the Daylight, the news website has been experiencing some disruptions which have been confirmed to be due to cyber-attacks. Mr. Giahyue told the MFWA that the attacks have been traced to a company whose destructive environmental activities have been serially reported by the Daylight. He said the matter has been reported to the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), and the Liberia National Police (LNP) for investigation.
