The Prime Minister’s Office of Pakistan has categorically rejected claims made by a group of Indian hackers alleging a breach of its official website and the theft of sensitive state documents. In a firm response, government officials dismissed the assertions as entirely “false, fabricated, and part of a malicious false flag operation.”

The issue gained traction after the hacker group reportedly claimed to have infiltrated high-level Pakistani cyber systems, boasting about accessing classified documents, including a supposed letter originating from the PM Office. However, speaking to Samaa TV, the official spokesperson of the Prime Minister’s House dismissed the allegations outright, assuring the public that the Prime Minister’s website is “completely secure” and that there was “no hacking incident nor any data leak.”

“The claim of hacking and data leak is baseless and has no relation to reality,” the spokesperson stated, emphasizing that no evidence supports the hackers’ narrative. The Ministry of Information also weighed in on the matter, labeling the purported letter as “fake,” and called the circulation of such content a coordinated disinformation campaign on social media.

Government insiders believe the incident is part of an orchestrated propaganda effort to tarnish the reputation of Pakistan’s institutions and stir public anxiety. “This is negative propaganda being spread by Indian cyber groups,” a senior government official remarked, suggesting that such tactics are deliberately aimed at undermining public trust in the country’s leadership and digital infrastructure.

Authorities stress that Pakistan’s cyber defense systems remain fully intact and uncompromised. “The cyber systems of all key state institutions, including the Prime Minister’s Office, are fully operational and secure,” sources confirmed. They added that national cybersecurity operations are built on modern, multi-layered frameworks designed to detect and deter intrusion attempts.

The government further emphasized its continued vigilance in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. “All national institutions are mobilized and actively monitoring the digital landscape. Our cybersecurity protocols are robust and under constant review to ensure the digital safety of state operations,” an official stated.

While cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns have become more frequent in the region, this particular episode highlights the geopolitical undercurrents in the digital space. With rising tensions and an evolving threat landscape, such claims—whether grounded or fabricated—have the potential to cause diplomatic friction and public confusion.

The Prime Minister’s Office reiterated that any credible threat to Pakistan’s cyber infrastructure is treated with the utmost seriousness. However, in this case, officials argue the campaign was not a technical breach but an attempt to manipulate public sentiment through fabricated digital content.

As of now, no independent verification has surfaced to validate the hackers’ claims, and government cybersecurity teams continue to monitor and secure all state-run digital assets. In a final word of caution, officials advised the public and media to rely only on verified sources and refrain from spreading unconfirmed reports that may contribute to misinformation and national insecurity.
