Islamabad : Indian hackers have broken into the website of the Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF), a Pakistani television channel claimed Sunday.
The PPF is an independent media research and training centre designed to promote and defend the freedom of press and raise social and political awareness in Pakistan.
The website was subsequently closed by Pakistani authorities for repair and reconstruction. It will not be reopened for public use until after it has been reinforced with new firewalls, Xinhua reported citing Dunya TV.
In July, the official website of Punjab province’s police department was hacked by Indian hackers who removed the names of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and the police chief and posted some Indian slogans on the site, the television channel claimed.
Some 150 Pakistani websites were hacked recently, said officials of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), which controls telecommunication activities in Pakistan.
