The official Facebook pages of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which were taken down by hackers on Friday, have been restored, according to media reports.
“The pages were put back up at around 5am on Monday after hectic efforts by party members in the US and Pakistan,” said President of the Insaf Students Federation in Karachi Arsalan Ghumman.
Approximately 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.
“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,” Ghumman said.
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 recognized political party in the US,” he said.
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.
“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, adding that the party is considering holding a press conference to disclose who hacked the pages.

    • nice propaganda by PML-N, but let me tell you bro, you will never find as many literate and educated for PML-N as IK and PTI has. so you will keep seeing negative rating for your comments :).

    • You will keep seeing negative ratings on your comments, because you cannot win supports of literate people which IK and PTI has… even if you give free laptops… hehe

    • wow are you that naive..just watch current affair shows for a week and you will know what people on the streets say…sticking your head in the ground like an ostrich won't stop the storm coming:) wake up and please dun make fun of the 70% learned youth of Pakistan..minority votes that is why minority rules..IA we have an option of PTI and IK..so no majority will vote and IA majority will rule..with hopefully a real opposition..Allah Pakistan ko apni hifazat mai rakhy

  1. and now we have a new breed of trools. the N league troll with a single minded agenda, myopic vision and limited intellect. enjoy the free laptops ;).

  2. This is really an issue that must be given consideration because hacking of face book profiles can cause to misuse of your personal details. Try to avoid using face book from unknown systems and please lock your personal details. Keep posting more updates on these issues regarding social networking sites in future also.
