According to FMT's chief technical officer Thirun Nadason, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack is believed to be the work of professionals.
“Our tech team is working on ensuring that service can be provided uninterrupted,” he said.
FMTs' managing editor Phlip Rodrigues condemned the attacks.
“This is the second time such an incident has happened but FMT will not be discouraged by such unscrupulous actions and will continue to report without fear or favour.
“FMT also wishes to apologise to our readers for any inconvenience caused,” he said.
FMT's tech team managed to bring the news site back online at about 9.15pm, after undergoing almost 18-hours of downtime.
“We hope we can keep the site up now but we will be monitoring the situation,” added Rodrigues.
Popular blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin's Malaysia Today, which also came under DDOS attack, however remains unavailable as of 9.30pm.
