The official Twitter account of Pakistan’s embassy in Serbia was hacked and briefly hijacked on Friday.
The account began publishing a series of tweets from the hackers which criticized Prime Minister Imran Khan for soaring inflation and alleged non-payment of salaries for three months.
Two hours later, the Foreign Office issued a statement, saying all three social media accounts of the embassy had been hacked.
The tweets have since been deleted.
“The Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts of the Embassy of Pakistan in Serbia have been hacked. Messages being posted on these accounts are not from the Embassy of Pakistan in Serbia,” the Foreign Office spokesperson tweeted.
Later, Pakistan’s embassy in Serbia also said the account had been hacked and a “baseless” tweet was posted from a device in Karachi.
The account “as hacked and logged in from a Chrome desktop on a Windows device in Karachi, Pakistan at 05:59 hours local time (09:59 PST),” the statement said.
