NNA - Qatari authorities have restored several government websites attacked by hackers from the Syrian Electronic Army, who support President Bashar Assad's regime, local media reported Sunday, AFP said.


Qatar's Supreme Council of Information and Technology (ictQatar) said in a statement carried by local media that it has "recovered all government websites hacked on Saturday."


It said it is ready to "deal with any similar future operations."


"No financial losses have been caused" by the hacking that targeted websites with the "gov.qa" domain name, local media quoted ictQatar as saying on Twitter.


The Qatari interior ministry's page was among the websites hit. But the ministry said on Twitter that "data registered on the website was not affected."
