Official website of Telecom Giant of Pakistan, PTCL, was hacked today by a group of Pakistani hackers, demanding to improve security with the message that they are not going to leak database publicly.
Instead of defacing homepage or tempering any other live page on PTCL website, CyberHax0rs just inserted a page on public_html directory on the PTCL server, which can be accessed by clicking this link: http://ptcl.com.pk/x.html
The injected file was immediately removed from the server successfully.
