Express problem resolved over lunch
A hacker compromised Express News TV's Facebook page, causing significant disruptions. The head of the Interactive Department successfully resolved the issue by inviting the hacker to lunch.

KARACHI: A displeased hacker vented his anger with Express News TV by hacking the channel's Facebook and making some pages and features unusable earlier this week.

The channel's IT and Interactive Departments at Karachi Centre worked hard at trying to get the problem fixed but it proved to be a bit beyond their capabilities. They were stumped.

Desperate times call for desperate measures so the head of Express' Interactive Department suggested that communication be made with the hacker. The hacker obliged after being pinged a couple of times.

"Look why don't we resolve our differences over lunch," suggested the head of the Interactive Department.

The hacker agreed. It was also agreed that lunch would be a pizza at Pizza Hut, the hacker's favorite food and favorite franchise.

The tact seems to have worked as after a while the hacker gave into the reasoning and pleading of the enterprising head of the Interactive Department. "The matter was resolved after reaching mutual consensus," he announced jubilantly.

Just goes to prove there's no doubt that a man's heart is through his stomach!

Key Points

  • Hacker attacked Express News TV's Facebook, causing functionality loss.
  • IT and Interactive Departments struggled to fix the issue.
  • Head of Interactive Department suggested a lunch meeting with the hacker.
  • Pizza Hut was chosen for the lunch, the hacker's favorite restaurant.
  • The issue was resolved amicably after the lunch meeting.
