Colombo, April 23 (Daily Mirror) – The people of Sri Lanka will lose trust on banks as a result of the hacking of the USD 2.5 million government funds, the Joint Opposition said today.

Former Minister Professor G.L. Peiris told a media conference that the last thing which Sri Lanka wants is the people losing their trust on banks in the wake of hacking.

Former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said the Sri Lankan government now faces a challenge to keep favorable credit ratings as a result of the hacking.
