ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)’s official website is fully back online after it briefly stopped working in the early hours of the day.

Sources told Business Recorder that the suspension was due to a small technical error that has been rectified.

The issue has been resolved and the website is working normally now.

There is no cyberattack on the FBR’s official website, but only a small technical issue, which has been promptly resolved by the FBR.
