Geo News websites and social media platforms have been targeted in repeated hacking attempts for the last 10 days. According to the channel’s digital team, unidentified hackers are trying to breach security systems to upload unauthorised content on both the official website and various social media accounts.
The persistent attacks appear aimed at compromising Geo News digital platforms to spread content chosen by the hackers. The digital team has remained on high alert, working around the clock to detect and block these intrusions. Thanks to their swift actions, several hacking attempts have been successfully foiled.
Geo News has formally informed the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) about the ongoing cyber threats. The organisation has requested immediate steps to strengthen protection and prevent any unauthorised access or content uploads. Legal proceedings have also been initiated against the individuals or groups behind these attacks.
This sustained cyber campaign against one of Pakistan’s leading news networks has raised serious concerns about media freedom and cyber security in the country. Geo News remains committed to delivering accurate news and has assured its viewers and readers that all platforms are under strict monitoring and protection.
The channel’s technical team continues to enhance security measures to safeguard its digital presence. Officials have appealed to relevant authorities to take swift and strong action against those responsible for these malicious attempts.
Such incidents highlight the growing risks faced by media organisations in the digital age, where cyber attacks can be used to disrupt information flow and damage credibility. Geo News has vowed to continue its professional journalism without compromise while cooperating fully with law enforcement and regulatory bodies to investigate and resolve this matter.
The development comes at a time when digital security has become a major concern for both private organisations and government institutions across Pakistan.
