Afghan hackers infiltrated the official broadcasting systems of two Pakistani networks between 7:46 PM and 8:46 PM UTC on March 1, 2026, displaying messages claiming a circle within the Pakistan Army has ruined Pakistan and urging people to stand up against the army, according to a Telegram post by the NDS Intellectual Warfare Center (https://t.me/NDS_313). The post, titled 'Urgent and important news,' attributes the hack to the 'NDS Intellectual Warfare Center of the Islamic Emirate,' marking a new cyber intrusion amid ongoing tensions. This follows Israeli and Indian hackers' breach of Geo News and the Tamasha app earlier between 4:15 PM and 5:15 PM UTC, where they inserted anti-Pakistan Army messages with the Mossad logo, per prior X reports. No official response from Pakistani authorities to the Afghan hack has been reported in this one-hour window. The incident occurs against a backdrop of nationwide unrest over Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, including violent protests in Gilgit-Baltistan.
