After backlash, Pak claims X account seeking loans for ‘losses’ was hacked

Operation Sindoor: Pakistan has requested a new $1.3 billion loan under the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility, a meeting for which is scheduled for today, May 9. It will determine whether Pakistan meets the necessary conditions to unlock the next tranche of funding. Ahead of the meeting, Pakistan confirmed “heavy losses” after India’s Operation Sindoor, amid its stock market crash. It has also asked for more loans from its international partners. However, soon after the backlash, Pakistan claimed that their X handle seeking loans for “losses” was “hacked”.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, as reported by Reuters, claimed that it did not share the post on X, adding that its “account has been hacked”, and it is “working to have the X (account) switched off”.
