Geo News And Tamasha App Hacked In Islamabad

On March 1, 2026, Pakistan's leading news channel, Geo News, faced a significant disruption when its satellite transmission was hacked, displaying subversive messages linked to Israel's Mossad agency. The incident occurred during a live broadcast, prompting immediate concern from the channel's management. Geo News reported that it had been under repeated hacking attempts for the past 24 hours, stating, "Geo News has no connection to this situation" and called for authorities to take action against those responsible. The breach not only interrupted their regular programming but also raised alarms about the security of broadcast infrastructure in Pakistan, with reports indicating that multiple channels, including ARY News and Samaa TV, were similarly targeted. The managing editor, Azhar Abbas, emphasized the urgency of the situation, urging for immediate justice against the perpetrators, as the unauthorized content aimed at undermining state institutions was aired during prime viewing hours.
