Pakistan Observer reported Geo News said it suffered a sustained and sophisticated cyberattack over the prior 24 hours in which its transmission via Pakistans PakSat satellite was hacked. The channel said attackers breached the broadcast feed, caused repeated interruptions, and hijacked the screen to air unauthorized messages. Geo News stated it had no connection to the malicious content and was working to restore secure operations. The report focuses on disruption of broadcast integrity/availability rather than data theft.
