Pakistani Cyber Attackers, a hacker group from Pakistan,  hacked and disfigured HUM TV’s official website in opposition to vulgarity depicted on the dramas aired on the particular channel. The incident occurred on 6th September, Defense Day.

The greeting message  stated that PEMRA is not playing its due role in regulating TV channels and that vulgarity on the dramas broadcast on HUM TV has been increasing with the passage of time. According to them obscene content must not be portrayed on mainstream media which is completely unacceptable in a Muslim country like Pakistan.
