PAKISTAN'S TOP NEWS CHANNELS HACKED AND HIJACKED WITH ANTI-MILITARY MESSAGES

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Multiple major Pakistani news channels, including Geo News, ARY News, and Samaa TV, had their satellite feeds hijacked on March 1 to display anti-military messages during peak Ramadan viewing hours. Attackers compromised the PakSat satellite beams and live feeds. The breach triggered retaliatory cyberattacks from a group called Pakistan Cyber Force against Indian media outlets. Authorities are investigating the coordinated incident, which also reportedly affected websites across 19 countries through unauthorized Google ad campaigns.
