The government has hired an Irish company as a third party to examine the damages caused by hackers to the data center of the Federal Board of Revenue, and the placement of all the necessary safety protocols.
The Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) data center was reportedly shut down to scrutinize 100 percent of the data until Wednesday.
When the Federal Minister of Finance Shaukat Tarin was asked about the rumor that the hacked data has been sold on the dark web, he replied that it is not true.
