LAHORE, Pakistan
(TheSportsNEXT) October 3, 2012: The official email address of Pakistan
Hockey Federation (PHF) has been hacked and the federation is facing greater
difficulty due to the fraudulent emails being sent from the address to various
individuals and national hockey federations across the world.
Some hackers hacked our email address on Tuesday afternoon
and sent spurious emails to different people and national federations whose
email addresses were saved in the folder for official correspondence, said PHF
secretary M Asif Bajwa here on Tuesday.
PHF was using Pakhockeyfederation@yahoo.com which is no more
the valid email address of PHF which has created the new address of
pakhockeyfederation@gmail.com.
“We immediately informed the International Hockey Federation
(FIH), Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) and all the affiliated national hockey
federations across the world about the hacking and asked them not to give any
importance to what so ever emails or messages they are receiving from the old
address. By the time, the PHF introduced its new email address the hackers sent
a number of emails to create confusion,” he added.
Bajwa said they had acquired the services of IT experts to
determine who is behind the hacking of their email address.
