Chat Service Website of Pakistan International Airlines Hacked The chat service website of the Pakistan International Airlines (callcenter.piac.pk) has been hacked and defaced. A hacker that uses the online moniker Ch3rn0by1, a member of the P4K-M4D-HUNT3-Z group, has taken credit for the attack. It’s uncertain why the Pakistani hacker has targeted the website of an organization from Pakistan. His zone-h.org account shows that he usually targets Indian websites, which isn’t surprising considering that Indian and Pakistani hacktivists are in constant competition. It’s uncertain what type of information Ch3rn0by1 has gained access to. It’s worth noting that when Pakistan International Airlines customers access the Live Chat service, they are requested to provide their names and email addresses. It’s possible that the attacker has managed to gain access to this information. At the time of writing, the defaced Pakistan International Airlines subdomain is still live. However, it’s possible that the website’s administrators are working on addressing this issue. While this post was written, the PIA chat service was pulled offline.
