He said‘’ we have not folded up yet and we don’t plan to. We are under attack from hackers. MynewsGh has been down for two days now and according to our technicians, it was hacked by intruders. We are however working to restore it soon.”
Mr. Zoure continued that ‘’ “This is about the third time in two years the site has come under such attacks. We are however not perturbed in our resolve to soldier on and give our readers the breaking stories from across the globe which is our hallmark.
