PTI distances itself from cyber attacks, spamming under party name
In a press release, the PTI said it "does not subscribe to, and neither does it support any form of hacking of an website, Facebook page or Twitter account regardless of how adverse the point of view might actually be."
While reiterating the PTI's stance on social media responsibility, the party said, "due to the open nature of the social web, PTI cannot not take responsibility for acts of any individual and/or impersonators to defame the party or any content posted by them to which it has no administrative control over."
Aside from outright hacking, PTI supporters or impersonators have been known to carry out mass online attacks on journalists and media groups, particularly using spamming of Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and email inboxes as a means to register their protest against critiques of the party or its chairman Imran Khan.

FROM INSAF CYBER TEAM PAGE: Important : Reference to the news Published in e tribune mentioing our group "an online group supporting Imran Khan who allegedly took over AAJ TV’s popular talk show Bolta Pakistan’s Facebook page for some time." We once again clarify that we never hacked Bolta Pakistan page. It was a blunt lie from Nusrat Javed. We only uploaded screen shots of Abusive tweets of Mr.Nusrat Javeed. Abuses of Mr.Nusrat Javeed for PTI supporters and Imran Khan are very well known on social media. in order to divert attention from his abusive tweets, he spread false news in media about hacking of his page by Insaf Cyber Team. Thanks
pti guys are really emotional because media is biased so they are using their own ways and thats okay
@Blithe: And this must be coming from a PMLN supporter whose elected representatives would rather go for direct physical assault on media folks?
On a side note, I agree PTI supporters should be more calm in their criticism; abusing people is not the way to get the message across.
Look at the replies from PTI trolls! They will never learn and grow up. It's shocking to see PTI trolls justifying these sort of acts.
well frankly i think problem is from both sides some of these are kids are just passionate and at times do hit below the belt but nusrat javed should also refrain from from abusing and taunting them. Nusrat should also behave maturely block those kids who abuse
Hmmm..... I wouldn't call it spamming of facebook pages. There are just a LOT of supporters..... at some point they might want to honestly acknowledge that instead of calling it a spam attack or a bunch of trolls.
Well done Insaf Cyber Tigers!!! yellow media anchors like Bolta Pakistan are grunting with pain

The actions of a few do not represent the whole Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. If PTI wanted, they could reek havoc on social media because of PTI's strength there.
Its Noora League + many other opposition parties, who dont wish to see PTI popular rise, so they started miliagning by using PTI name and posters and sending spams all across..
Media should also be fair and do justice
The guy running "Insaf Cyber Team" is just an emotional supporter from UK. He has made his facebook on the above name and keeps repeating to every anchor/journalist that he will expose them.
If you have supporters like him then you don't need any eney.
PTI Media issued the press release on time yesterday. They have to be more active on this front because everyone is making pages on PTI's name.
