The official email address of Pakistan Hockey Federation has been hacked and the PHF is facing greater difficulty due to the fraudulent emails being sent from the address to various individuals and national hockey federations across the world.
“Some hackers hacked our email address on Tuesday afternoon and sent spurious emails to different people and national federations whose email addresses were saved in the folder for official correspondence,” said PHF, Secretary, Mohammad Asif Bajwa.
PHF was using [email protected] which is no more the valid email address of PHF which has created the new address of [email protected].
“We immediately informed the International Hockey Federation, Asian Hockey Federation and all the affiliated national hockey federations across the world about the hacking and asked them not to give any importance to what so ever emails or messages they are receiving from the old address,” he said.
He added: “By the time PHF introduced its new email address the hackers sent a number of emails to create confusion.” Bajwa said they have acquired the services of IT experts to determine who is behind the hacking of their email address.
