ISLAMABAD: On Friday, it was revealed that the official X account of Pakistan’s Finance Ministry had been hacked overnight. The Finance Ministry spokesperson confirmed the breach and warned that any posts made from the account should be considered fake, as they do not reflect official statements.

She added that the National Cyber Emergency Response Team (NCERT) had issued an advisory due to the growing cyber threats amidst the escalating tensions between Pakistan and India following the Pahalgam attack.
