Justice Golam Mortuza Majumdar, chairman of International Crimes Tribunal-1, reported that his Facebook and WhatsApp accounts were hacked. The incident was recorded in a general diary at Shahbagh Police Station in Dhaka on Tuesday evening, confirmed by the station’s officer-in-charge on Wednesday. The accounts were reportedly compromised on March 18, raising concerns that hackers might misuse them. A letter was also sent to the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission for necessary action.

Prosecutor Tanvir Hasan Zoha stated that the judge might have clicked a fraudulent link or downloaded an unauthorized application, leading to the breach. Although the judge’s mobile phone has been secured, his social media accounts remain under hacker control. The issue first appeared on March 17 when his phone malfunctioned, and he later informed Zoha on March 22, prompting removal of remote-control software.

According to tribunal sources, administrative and security measures have been strengthened, and an investigation into the hacking is ongoing.
