Profile narrative
Pakistan Haxors Crew, also known as Pakistan Haxor Crew, is a hacker group based in Pakistan that has conducted website defacements as a form of political protest. Their targets have included Pakistani media outlets such as Samaa TV’s news website and live stream, the state broadcaster Pakistan Television, the Pakistani Consulate in Jeddah, and Indian government entities like the West Bengal Public Health Engineering Department. The group’s activities are motivated by opposition to perceived government corruption, inadequate coverage of domestic issues, and alleged espionage, and they leave protest messages in Urdu and English on compromised sites. Observed tactics involve gaining unauthorized access to web servers, replacing homepage content with protest slogans, and in some cases maintaining persistent access or mirroring the defaced page on external platforms. No specific malware families or tooling are described in the public reports, and there is no publicly asserted link to a state sponsor or criminal consortium. Notable operations include the 2014 defacements of Samaa TV, PTV, the Jeddah consulate, and the West Bengal Public Health Engineering Department website.
