The website of Cinepax, which runs a countrywide chain of cinemas in Pakistan, appears to have been hacked today.

Instead of its usual homepage, the website loads with a white screen that declares "CinePax Cinema Got HacKed By Team Pak Cyber Attackers". A "Faisal_1337" left his postscript on the hacked page.

The hacker left a further message on the page: "Secure [your] server" and "Respect Us Or Expect Us".

The motive of the attack is unknown at present.

According to Cinepax General Manager Mohsin Yaseen, the website's server has been compromised and is being restored.

Cinepax has screens in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Murree and Hyderabad, with more screens in planning for Faisalabad, Multan and Islamabad.

@AMira : Its a domain hack not a website hack. Hacker hacked hosting service provider server and redirect dns at their end and due to this people were seeing that page where he was redirecting them. Websitewas not hacked in this case. By the way credit cards payments are done through secured payment gateways provided by banks and it has nothing to do with this. Tc.
