Official website of Khayber News TV Gets Hacked

We earlier reported you about that the website of a private news TV channel “New One” got hacked in order to raise voice against killings of Muslims in Burma and inadequate coverage by the News Channels.

Now the official website on another TV channel ‘Khyber News TV’ is hacked and defaced by Pak Cyber Pyrates, that’s what they call themselves, to protest against inadequate or no coverage of Muslim Killings in Myanmar (Burma) on Pakistani media, mainly the News TV channels.

It appears now more media websites can be hacked in future for not properly covering the atrocities on Burma Muslims.

Nothing has been harmed on Khayber News website, but just the index page was replaced. Khyber News TV is currently reverted back to its original form. However, the mirror of defaced page can be access here:

Message on defaced page said:

“To the Pakistan government stop the atrocities on Muslim population and protect their basic human rights. …..

Myanmar Muslims are being massacred after they rejected the Buddhist pressure to convert to Buddhism

the brutalities being perpetrated on them must stop now the world community..

the media and the so-called human rights bodies are completely silent..

If you DON’T help Myanmar Muslims we will continue our attacks on your cyber space until you take action and on the Myanmar government.

The Controversial Pakistani actress is being charged of spying for ISI. The allegations arisen from the photo shot of Veena for an Indian magazine with an ‘ISI’ tattoo on her arm.

But Veena Malik has denied allegations of spying for the ISI in a Delhi court which looked into a complaint against her after her alleged nude photographs appeared in an Indian magazine. The complaint had said that the tattoo indicated that she was spying for the Pakistani intelligence agency which should be probed.

Veena was quoting as saying,

“One day I am accused of being aggressive, and the next day a spy. I am an actress. I don’t like being given such labels. People should respect me. I am an honest person who is just doing her work.”

Malik had denied that she posed naked for the magazine, claiming the cover photo was doctored.

The President of the Insaf Students Federation in Karachi, Arsalan Ghumman, told to Express Tribune that,

“The pages were put back up at around 5am on Monday after hectic efforts by party members in the US and Pakistan.”

About 30 pages were hacked, including the official page of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, ISF’s own page and that of PTI Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi.

Ghumman mentioned that,

“We immediately contacted the National Response Cell on Cyber Crime, a department of the Federal Investigation Agency, as well as the management of Facebook in the US.”

Since it was a weekend in the US, it delayed the process and made it that much more complicated. “But it worked to our advantage that the PTI is an officially recognised political party in the US,” he added.

Although PTI has a fair idea of who hacked the pages, Ghumman said, they are not willing to disclose the hacker’s identity right now.

He mentioned that,

“I just want to clarify that this is not an inside job, as some people have been saying on social networking websites. The hacker is not and was not a member of the PTI.”

He said that the party is considering to hold a press conference in order to reveal who hacked the pages.
