Pakistan's FIA Cyber Crime Wing Busts Major Ransomware Gang Targeting Local Banks

On Monday, June 16, 2026, Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing announced a massive victory in keeping the country's digital money safe.
What is Ransomware? Ransomware is like a digital kidnapper. Hackers sneak into a computer system, lock all the files so no one can open them, and then demand a lot of money to unlock them.
The Big Arrest: The FIA tracked down and arrested a gang of hackers who were trying to do this to several local banks. By stopping them, the police made sure that the banks' computers stayed open and that people's money was completely safe.
Why It Matters: When banks are safe from hackers, regular people do not have to worry about losing their hard-earned savings. The FIA is also teaching banks how to build stronger digital walls so this never happens again.
