The phenomenon is becoming quite widespread and it is only going to become more common. While the main motive can be a technical curiosity to simple theft of data, various hackers do it for the laughs.
A lot of times it can be pretty repulsive, extremely rude, and even straight up evil!
Just recently, the website of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (www.insaf.pk) was hacked by a group of hooligans calling themselves:
“Pak Cyber Attackers”.
The hackers left the following message:
Tehreek e Insaaf Pakistan Mein Tabdeeli Aye Naa Ayee, Website Main Tabdeeli Aagye Hai
They even took a jibe at Imran Khan by posting:
Go Nawaz Go Tou Chala Gaya Ab Ro Imran Ro
Check out the complete message here!
The website has now been restored and is fully functional.
However, this is not the first time PTI’s website was hacked!
Earlier, the website came under attack by a group called “Voice of Pakistan; Death Adders Crew” after Ayesha Gulalai’s allegations against PTI’s Chairman, Imran Khan.
Pakistan’s map is no longer a map anymore! The beautiful outline of our homeland is now also a lake in Lahore! The Greater Iqbal Park opened its doors to the public on August 14th, 2017!
The second phase of the project is now currently being constructed, which also includes a lake in the shape of Pakistan.
However, it will be some time before we see the final results of the beautiful creation. According to LDA, the project will assure the renovation of Minar-i-Pakistan Complex and the extension of Iqbal park by adding in more space which will form a circular garden around the road between the Lahore Fort and the Park.
There will also be elaborate walkways, thematic food courts, and art gardens. The food court is being designed in the park is based on the heritage and culture of all the four provinces of Pakistan including Gilgit Baltistan. Fountains and lighting will also be added.
A launch date has not been shared, however, the lake and museum have almost reached their completion.

Pakistani power couple Urwa Hocane and Farhan Saeed have always set couple goals for the rest of us! From a grand wedding, beautiful wedding pictures to their latest sizzling couple photo shoot, they are able to rock it all.
Just recently the two have been spotted in a gorgeous photo shoot for the Home Interiors brand, Dolce Vita.
Of all the photos from the Dolce Vita campaign, this picture has become the Joke of the town!
Greenery is always a sight for sore eyes ! Mother nature has always been a scarce sight in Karachi which is a bustling metropolis. Unfortunately, hardly any attention is given to building green public places like parks where seasonal flowers bloom and trees are planted to give some respite from busy urban life.
Instead, we see piles of trash being burnt, releasing deadly gasses like carbon-dioxide, causing health hazards and preventing the growth of plants surrounding the area.
There are few NGOs working on protecting the remaining natural parks. One of them severely condemned the decision of the city’s municipal authorities to host Karachi Eat Festival at a local park in Clifton after hosting the annual event at Frere Hall.
Lately, a decision was made to commercialize the Zamzama Park, to which residents have protested. The park is used by locals residents walking, jogging and other forms of exercise. Recently, the condition of the park also appears to have deteriorated with hardly any upkeep.There is news that the authorities wanted to convert it into an amusement park with commercial benefits.
Protesters were seen holding signs and chanting that they do not want their park to be destroyed and replaced by something that will prove to be chaotic to its surroundings and spread noise pollution and litter.
Former civil servant Aslam Sanjrani had to say;
“Zamzama Park was a gift to the residents of Defence by the Pakistan Army after they converted the place into a park from barracks, it is a public place now. So technically, we all own it. The army thinks they are the custodians of this park but we have not returned it to them. They will be doing a grave injustice to us by handing it over to someone who will turn it into a commercial venture,”
The signs read slogans like Custodians, please don’t commit breach of trust’, ‘Please corps commander save environment, our request no commercialization’ and ‘save families park’.
Another resident added the trees were removed, emptying the park from its natural beauty. She said, “They were very old trees from the time when this place used to be barracks, it is the right of citizens to have a patch of green in the shape of a park near where they live. It will be hurting the environment if they give way to commercial construction here,”
PPP leader Syed Najmi Alam also joined residents in the protest. He said, “From what we have seen of the theme park in Gulshan, they may also want to build a shopping centre on this land,”
“It is such a misfortune that amenity plots and parks in our country become victims to China-cutting and the construction of marriage halls,” said well-known businessman Mirza Ikhtiar Baig, who was also there.
“I come to jog in this park. When I do I see children from katchi abadis coming here to play and enjoy the greenery and clean, fresh air. Parents come with their kids to relax after a busy day in the office. It is also a good thing that the current management has waived off the Rs20 ticket fee for children. Entry is also free in the morning,” he said.
“It is a decent place for decent people. It should not be turned into a business venture,” he added.
Dubbing it as lobby awards, Khan’s savage reaction literally made us ROFL!
Last year, it was Saba Qamar who totally boycotted Lux Style Awards even though she was nominated for three different dramas!
Speaking to the Express Tribune, the Hindi Medium actress revealed her reasons for the strong action:
“They never bothered to honor me during the past 12 years and now that I have the Bollywood stamp, everyone is acknowledging me all of a sudden.”
In 2015, Faysal Quraishi too protested against the body for not including the top-rated drama, Bashar Momin in any category.
“Seriously, I have no idea what to say as we were expecting a lot from Bashar Momin. I am not talking about me being nominated as the Best Actor, but my other team members from the writing and direction department”
What more drama is yet to unfold this year, let’s wait and watch!

Careem has made our lives easier, you can call for a ride anytime, anywhere nowadays. The company has used out-of-the-box campaigns to catch the attention of individuals all over Pakistan.
From ‘Rishta Aunty’ to ‘Bakra on Wheels’ and its #TakeOff campaign, the marketing strategies have been quite impressive. However, this time around, their subliminal message has stirred some confusion, debates, and backlash on social media!
Apparently, the ride-hailing service sent a text message to its customers, asking, “know any losers?”
While some awoke to this weird message, others were shocked that a reputed company like Careem has asked this question! Many people took out different reasons behind the service provider’s strange message.
While some are convinced they have been hacked, given that their recent Twitter status is not something we’d expect from them; others are calling it another marketing strategy.
Many individuals have also spoken out that this is not the right way to market your product as calling someone a loser is unethical and can affect their customer base!
You’ll be losing one of your PRIORITY CUSTOMER anytime as my tolerance is about to reach its limit already your team have seen a major DECLINE in my careem usage. Traveling in public transport these days.
Then there are those who are claiming that Careem is subliminally targeting their drivers in Islamabad who are protesting against the company because of the sudden hike in prices, which has discouraged customers to travel in a Careem, affecting the income of the drivers.
At 6 am, @Careem sent a mass text message (“advertisement”) to users asking “Know any losers?” This is apparently how they recruit new drivers. Nothing objectionable about this?? @careempak (Stop the spam). 🤔 pic.twitter.com/x08kweEB1M

CREATING PROBLEM SOLVERS OF TODAY AND LEADERS OF TOMORROW!
As 2017 came to an end, we all made our new year resolutions, as they say ‘ a new year, a new us’. While some vowed to start exercising, others promise to eat healthily!
Philip Morris International, an American cigarette and tobacco manufacturing company, also made a New Year resolution. Thousands of people each year decide to give up on smoking, hence the cigarette manufacturing giant decided to give up on manufacturing cigarettes.
The tobacco company recently placed full-page adverts in several UK newspapers claiming that the firm’s “New Year’s resolution” for 2018 is to “stop selling cigarettes.”
Philip Morris stated:
“Our ambition is to stop selling cigarettes. It won’t be easy. But we are determined to turn our vision into reality. There are 7.6 million adults in the UK who smoke. The best action they can take is to quit smoking”.
“Philip Morris is known for cigarettes. Every year, many smokers give them up. Now it’s our turn,” reads the ad.
The company now aims to help people give up on smoking by not only quitting manufacturing cigarettes but also by stopping the production of any tobacco product. However, they have decided to come up with other smoking-free alternatives like e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products.
The company claimed;
“It can achieve a significant public-health benefit only when a large number of these smokers switch from cigarettes to better products.”
Peter Nixon, managing director of Philip Morris, reported:
“We believe we have an important role to play in helping the UK become smoke-free. The commitments announced today are practical steps that could accelerate that goal.”
“We recognize that never starting to smoke — or quitting altogether — are always the best option. But for those who continue to smoke, there are more alternatives than ever available in the UK.”
The company, since its start, had invested billions of dollars for the production, and manufacturing of the cigarettes. But now, suddenly, they have decided to close its core business and switch into the production of its alternative in which they have already invested d £2.5 billion into the research and development of smoke-free products to date.
What are your views on this decision? Let us know in the comments below.

Pakistan’s latest heartthrob, Feroze Khan has taken the country by storm with his drama Khaani aired on Geo Television. His character, ‘Meer Haadi’ has created a frenzy over the country and fans cannot get enough of Khan.
Feroze Khan stars alongside the beautiful actress, Sana Javed who is known for her superb acting skills in various Pakistani TV shows.
The actor is known for his suave looks and dapper style has gained popularity not only in Pakistan but across the border in India too!
Popular Indian YouTubers have given a thumbs up to ‘Khaani’ and could not help praising the storyline and the drama’s OST which has been sung by the legendary, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
The team of Indian Youtubers by the name ‘Swaggy D’ talked about Khaani and the video has received more than 300k Views!
This reactor is definitely head over heels for the bubbly actress, Sana Javed who plays Feroze Khan’s love interest in the drama.
The video has received more than 21k views on YouTube.
Pakistani content is always appreciated across the border, however, unfortunately hardly any of the Pakistani movies or TV shows are aired in India.
Keeping in mind the booming popularity Khaani has gained in a short time, we wouldn’t be surprised if Feroze Khan or Sana Javed would be seen in an upcoming Bollywood flick.
Another video reacting to Khaani posted by ‘Gautam’ has received over 70k views!

Scams have gotten even easier nowadays! While some call individuals and fake to be belonging to different organizations and sectors, others use the vast platform of the internet! Because of the lack of awareness, many even fall into their trap!
One popular scam is free airline tickets, and it’s surely not the first time where free tickets by Emirates were offered. However, the official page denies its evolvement and says they have no such competition or scheme going on.
While, on the other hand, a hoax website claimed that Emirates is offering free tickets to everyone. The website read “We are giving away two free tickets to everyone to celebrate our 33rd anniversary.” Followed by a question asking “Do you think Emirates is the best?”
To counter this Emirate’s official spokesperson said; “Emirates has become aware of fraudulent websites purporting to offer free airline tickets to those who take an online survey. We advise anyone not to click on any links or share these links on social media. Emirates is investigating the source of the scam and will take appropriate legal action against the perpetrators.”
These hoax links are popularly shared amongst groups and chats through WhatsApp and on Facebook. The website claims that in order to win these tickets, the individual has to fill a survey with only 196 tickets remaining.
Do NOT fall for this trick, it is not authentic and is a scam!
Stay aware, stay alert!

Winters has successfully taken Karachi under its wing and the city has been hit by a vicious bout of flu!
While we all cannot stop sneezing and coughing, latest weather updates surely will not make us any happier.
According to Pakistan Metrological Department, normal rainfall throughout the country is expected during the month, along with cold and dry weather prevailing in most parts of the country.
Reports by Weather Updates Karachi reveal that an intense Western Disturbance (WD) is likely will affect various areas of Pakistan including Sindh by early next week.
Heavy rains are expected with heavy snowfall over mountainous regions.
Karachi will also experience shower under the influence of the upcoming. However, there is only a 40% chance of rain in Karachi and the probability is bound to increase in the next few days.
A RAIN SYSTEM IN SIGHTAn strong Western Disturbance (WD) is likely to affect different areas of Pakistan including…
Yesterday was the third and the last day of one of the biggest food festivals of Pakistan, the Karachi Eat festival.
Karachi is the hub of food and the residents are aware of the innumerable amount of mouth-watering dishes this city has to offer. So, when the dates for the Karachi Eat are announced, people go all gaga about it and cancel all other plans, making sure they make it to the event.
The event turned out to be a success with thousand and thousands of people making it to the festival, not caring about the traffic, not caring about the queues, only hoping to have fun and eat loads and loads of food!
The yearly event took place at Benazir Bhutto Park this year and the ticket cost for an individual was Rs. 300, but its worth it when you have 125 stalls waiting to serve you food inside, cooked right in front of your eyes.
As soon as the event began, people started to pour in their reviews on social media regarding the festival which were good and bad both. We at Brandsynario, also went to the festival to check out if Karachi eat lived up to its hype or not, and we believe, it surely did but there were ways, it could’ve been made better.
So here’s the good and bad of this year’s Karachi Eat Festival.
From No Lies Fries to Cafe Paraha, this festival had to offer all the varieties of food that one could ever imagine. From Firangi to desi, you were able to treat your taste buds with almost all the flavors you were craving for.
2. The larger than life Food Stalls
Along with the small stalls, there were others that were stealing the limelight with their grandness. The competitors, Shaan and National, definitely gave a tough competition to each other and it is difficult to decide which one was better than the other.
There was even a Biryani Vending Machine. Yes, you read it right!
To be honest, this was really cool!
3. The Celebrities
Everyone was there, obviously not at the same time but there was a very good chance for you to see one or more of your favorite celebs when you made it to the event. There was celebrities who were promoting their upcoming shows and films, while others were there to just enjoy the food and have a good time.
A post shared by socialistaan (@socialistaan_official) on
4. Trash Management
This is something which was commendable. It’s not easy when you have thousands of people entering a vicinity which is offering them a variety of food to eat. It could’ve gone wrong but the place was clean, there was no smell, and there was no trash to be seen anywhere. There were of plenty of trash cans available for you.
5. The entertainment
Apart from food, there was good music. In fact, there was Atif Aslam… do we need to say more?
To enter the event, there was a queue which seemed like it would never end but it eventually did. Thank God. Some people actually waited for about an hour or so to enter the festival which is definitely a turn off.
2. One entrance
For an event as big as Karachi eat, there was only one entrance. The security might be the reason behind it but it could’ve been managed. Because there was one entrance, there was lots of chaos and waiting outside which bored people like hell.
3. Washrooms
The washrooms were in one corner of the festival which made it very difficult for the people. If the management had arranged more washrooms, it would’ve been easier.
4. The Traffic & Public Transport
Facebook: Karachi Eat
The traffic outside Benazir Bhutto Park was a major turn off. People had to wait for their cars for hours to reach the destination. Tariff based taxi services offered amazing deals for the event, but disappointed the commuters with their services yesterday.
5. No Volunteers
There were no volunteers inside to help you at the event. You were just on your own.
There were printed maps given to people on the entrance, but they were of no help. If huge maps were installed at some points, it would have made people’s trip to the festival more convenient.
7. The Jammers
What is the point of installing signal jammers in Karachi Eat? Also, can’t these people manage these events properly? Why should i fucking stand in que for an hour?
People were unable to connect with their taxis and drivers because of the jammers. The networks were down, there as almost no connectivity. People also had troubling using their data to update their statuses from the event.
Though Benazir Bhutto was bigger than Frere Hall, it is still too far away for someone who is coming from Gulshan or North. If there’s a place that is located in the middle of the city, it will be more convenient for people to make it to the event and the turn up might be even more.
The ambiance could’ve been made better. Apart from a few grand stalls, there was a lack of decor! To be honest, if you check out from a millennial’s point of view, there was no cool background to click a picture with, except for the “EAT. Eat. Eat” one at the entrance. The plethora of stalls was a big no. It felt like they have just adjusted all the stalls in an enclosed area.
Over all, the event was a success. The traffic, the crows, the peak-factors, at the end of the day, it was all worth it!
Pakistan’s love for cricket has no end, our boys just proved that no disability can stop them from conquering anything in this world!

Well done boys! Pakistan Zindabad!

Pakistan is home to the most beautiful scenic landscapes in the world. Unfortunately, due to security concerns, it has never been a popular destination for tourists across the world.
However, it looks like things are about to change on the tourism front for Pakistan as the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) has decided to review visa policies to attract more people from across the world to visit.
The PTDC has also reported that tourism in the country has tripled after 2013 due to the decrease in terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
The concerned departments have been asked to list down the new plans for changes to be made in the current visa policies in order to facilitate more tourists during 2018.
Managing Director of the PTDC Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor has mentioned,
“We will focus on overseas Pakistanis and foreign tourists during the year 2018.”
Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor also requested Civil Aviation Authority to provide a place for Tourism Information Desks at all the international airports in the country to make it easier for foreigners.
PTDC has also decided to appoint focal persons in major cities of Pakistan and other coordinators for tourism in foreign countries to work as a link between various tourism departments and tourists.
The increased activity on the tourism front is due to the recent report by a renown British travel company which has ranked Pakistan as the top adventure tourist destination in the world.
It takes tremendous courage for a victim to talk about sexual abuse.
Many feel embarrassed, judged and afraid to come forward and share their tales of torture. Some are even criticized and not taken seriously when they finally gather up the strength to do so.
With the barbaric rape and murder of the seven-year-old Zainab, a wave of outrage has erupted in the nation. Countrywide protests are demanding the criminal to be given the worst possible punishment.
Since then, much has happened in Pakistan’s entertainment fraternity
Various starlets are now coming forward with their accounts of sexual harassment, realizing that its crucial to share their struggling stories to help other individuals that are coping with the same trauma.
The first Pakistani celebrity to break the silence was the veteran T.V actress, Nadia Jamil.
She boldly narrated her painful story of being a victim of sexual abuse when she was just 4 years old!
I was 4 the first time I was abused sexually. I was in college when it blew out of proportion. People tell me not to talk to respect my families honour. Is my families honour packed in my body? I am a proud,strong,loving survivor. No shame on me or my kids. Only pride 4 being me
However, she enunciated the importance of reaching out to sexual assault survivors whose stories remain unheard!
Regardless of abuse I experienced in life as a child & teen,im a happy,privileged woman.2 many children DO NOT hv love,comfort,nurturing support.Dont hv a platform or voice.They r lying drugged on streets or being abused in & out of homes by relatives,teachers,strangers,staff NOW
Famous designer, Maheen Khan too encouraged survivors to come up by revealing her own experience with sexual abuse
#childabuse#saynotochildabuse#metoo The Maulvi who came to teach me the Quran abused me sexually .I froze in fear day after day . Share in support of children subjected to the sick acts ..by so called custodians of our religion
Tremendous respect to @FriehaAltaf & @NJLahori for speaking up abt the abuse they suffered.There should be no shame attached to women speaking out against abuse.Shame is with those that carry out these heinous crimes &rob these children of their innocence #EnoughIsEnough#timesuphttps://t.co/MRHzfBFh0G
So immensely proud of u @FriehaAltaf abuse is never easy to speak about. I haven’t had the courage yet to speak about mine. Kudos! https://t.co/PpE7BJWQGx
I think it’s incredibly brave of women like @FriehaAltaf@NJLahori and @Maheenkhanpk to not only speak up against sexual abuse but to share their own experiences with it.
It is important to understand that speaking out against sexual abuse is always scary.
It is indeed a proud moment that our gutsy Pakistani women are speaking up against sexual assault, stepping forward and sharing their own experience with it. With the power of social media, they are raising awareness to help eradicate the stigma, and give survivors a feeling that they too, can be heard!
