PMO audio leak, dark web, ex-FIA ADG, Ammar Jaffri

ISLAMABAD: The former additional director-general (ADG) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Ammar Jaffri claimed on Monday that sensitive [Prime Minister Office] audio data was being leaked for financial gains via the dark web, ARY News reported.

While talking to ARY News programme 11th Hour, ex-FIA ADG Ammar Jaffri expressed suspicions that the leaking of [PMO] audio data was being made for financial gains by putting it on the dark web.

“The audio leaks have two parts: the first part is telephone recording while the second part is live conversations between two individuals. It seems that a device was installed in the room to record the conversation between two individuals.”

“Several devices are available now that can be used for secret recordings. Conversations can also be recorded through bee-sized mini drones by sticking it on the window glasses. However, there are fewer chances of audio leaks after recording data on mobile phones.”

Jaffri said that the voices were quite uniform in the audio leaks and mobile phones were usually placed outside during sensitive meetings, whereas, sweeping was also made at the sensitive localities. “There are chances that someone hacks the conversation.”

“The audio leaks are being made for financial gains via the dark web. The auction price of the leaked audio data is continuously increasing. I think a device was used inside the room to record conversations.”

Ammar Jaffri said that it should be investigated when the first audio leak was released in Pakistan.

Regarding legal options against the responsible persons, the former FIA officer said that the IP could easily be traced if the audio data was uploaded from somewhere inside Pakistan. He added that Interpol could be contacted if the audio data was uploaded on the internet by using an IP address of a foreign country.

It is pertinent to mention here that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and key members of his party and family had become the centre of attention on Sunday after audio recordings from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) surfaced on social media.

NSC summoned

PM Sharif has summoned a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) on Wednesday.

The NSC session will be held at 3:00 pm, said sources adding that the meeting will be attended by the services chiefs, intelligence officials and civilian leadership.

The NSC huddle would be briefed regarding the Prime Minister Office (PMO) audio leaks that surfaced on social media a day earlier.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
