On 1 March 2026 multiple major Pakistani news channels (Geo News, ARY News, Samaa TV) were hijacked via their PAKSAT satellite feeds during evening/Iftar and prime-time bulletins, displaying unauthorized anti-military messages; the intrusion disrupted broadcasts, circulated viral video evidence, and coincided with related impacts to websites in 19 countries through unauthorized ad campaigns. Local reporting indicates subsequent retaliatory cyber actions (DDoS and feed hijacks) allegedly by a group claiming to be Pakistan Cyber Force, and authorities are investigating the cross-border, politically motivated broadcast and web disruptions.
