Management at the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation (DHBC) today issued an apology for profanity that was displayed on a digital sign at the crossing of the bridge. The company in statement suggested that it might have been a cyber attack.
“We wish to assure everyone that the profane message broadcast via the digital messaging board at the bridge was perpetrated with ill intent by a yet unknown person or persons, to cast a shadow of doubt over the corporation and its hard working staff,” the bridge company said.
It posited that the incident will not be taken lightly.
“Not only do we view it as an attack, but also a total misrepresentation of who we are as a team executing our mandate of ensuring safe, and timely crossing of everyone using the Demerara Harbour Bridge,” the company said.
DHBC management also committed to ensuring better systems and monitoring mechanisms are put in place, to ensure that the incident does not recur.
“We assure members of the public that a full investigation has been launched into this incident. We appreciate your inquiries and messages of concern from the time this attack transpired,” the DHB said.
It continued, “We also, thank you, sincerely, for the swiftness in which you contacted us about this matter, and encourage you to continue to be our partners in development, as we work to ensure only the most excellent service is given to you from the corporation.”
