KARACHI: The live television feed of a private news channel, Geo News, was hacked on Sunday night, with a subversive message being displayed.

In a statement, the Geo News management said that for the past 24 hours, attempts were being made to hack the channel — which was on the communication satellite PAKSAT — and disrupt its broadcast.

The management said that for some time now, the channel had been facing continuous disruptions.

“Geo News’ screen was hacked to display an inappropriate message,” the statement said, adding that the situation had nothing to do with the channel. It called on authorities to take notice of the incident, take immediate action and bring those responsible to justice.
