[capsat]

ISLAMABAD:
Hackers have attacked Pakistan’s largest data centre run by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and managed to break the hyper-V software by Microsoft, bringing down all the official websites operated by the tax machinery.

“There has been a national crisis like situation since 2.00 am Saturday morning and we may not be out of the woods by Sunday evening,” a senior official said while explaining the gravity of the situation to The Express Tribune on condition of anonymity.

The FBR’s official version was awaited till the filing of the story. “The FBR’s website is temporarily down for scheduled maintenance,” read the website when it was opened.
However, the authority issued a general press release regarding in-progress service optimisation activities at the FBR House Data Center, Islamabad.

over the dark web the data is offered to highest bidder. current offer is US$30,000 and rising.

Lets' see how much FBR can restore.
I can safely bet FBR will start issuing notices and demand submit records to every tax payer in coming months for their lethargy. Those who never download their returns and leave in e-folder at portal will suffer the most.

our banking data, personal information as per wealth statements, active bank accounts etc is at FBR beware next target can be banks & State of Pakistan

GOD SPEED
