ISLAMABAD—Social media accounts of the Embassy of Pakistan in Algeria have been hacked. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson alerted that messages posted from the accounts were not from the embassy.

Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said: "The Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts of the Embassy of Pakistan in Algeria have been hacked," adding, "All messages being posted through these accounts are not from Pakistan Embassy in Algeria."

A similar incident occurred in December 2021 when the social media account of the Pakistan Embassy in Argentina was hacked. The hackers in that incident targeted the embassy's Instagram account.
