Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami announced that its Secretary General, Mia Golam Porwar’s X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked on Tuesday night. After the breach, offensive content was posted from his account, which was later deleted by the party’s social media team. Jamaat leaders said legal action would be taken soon. The incident was disclosed at an emergency press conference held at the party’s central office.

Engineer Sirajul Islam, a member of Jamaat’s central election committee, said the attack might be connected to a previous hacking of the party chief’s X account, allegedly carried out using an email from Bangabhaban. He urged the government to investigate the extent of the hackers’ control over devices and systems. Jamaat’s Assistant Secretary General and media chief, Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair, condemned the hacking and described it as part of a broader conspiracy targeting party leaders.

The party reiterated its earlier claim that a government email address had been misused in a phishing attempt that compromised the Jamaat chief’s account, calling for accountability and stronger cyber protections.
