Cyber Attack Disrupts Pakistani News Channels With Pro-Mossad Messages

On March 1, 2026, multiple Pakistani news channels, including Geo News, faced significant disruptions due to a cyber attack that allegedly displayed pro-Mossad messages. Geo News reported that its transmission was hacked, with unauthorized content replacing regular broadcasts. The channel's management stated, "Geo News has been under repeated hacking attempts over the past 24 hours, causing interruptions in transmissions," emphasizing that the inappropriate messages aired had no connection to the channel itself. This incident occurred amidst rising tensions in the region, particularly following a major military operation involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran, which has heightened security concerns in Pakistan. Reports indicate that as many as 19 countries were targeted in a broader digital campaign, with Google Ads being used to disseminate pro-Mossad narratives across local media platforms (TechJuice, Geo Business, ARY News).
