Islamabad: Federal Minister for Finance Shaukat Tareen says the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) system was hacked and remained in possession of the Indian hackers for 7 days. The culprits have not yet been found.
According to details, Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, while briefing the Senate finance committee, revealed that the FBR’s system was hacked by Indian hackers and had remained in their possession for 7 days. Previously, those Indian hackers had hacked the system in 2019 as well.
