Jamaat leaders said preliminary technical findings indicate that the accounts were hacked through phishing emails containing malware. They claimed that hackers sent emails to official party addresses, including [email protected], disguising them as urgent documents related to election case studies from an official e-mail address from the Bangabhaban. Regarding legal and official steps, Jamaat-e-Islami said it has lodged a General Diary (GD) with the police over the incident. Besides, forensic evidence related to the malware and phishing emails will be submitted to the government's Cyber Security Council for further examination. Jamaat leaders demanded a fair environment for political expression and an end to the use of cyber tactics to manipulate public opinion.
