Sirajul Islam alleged that a section of political actors had exploited a controversial post from the hacked account for political gain. Jamaat claimed the hacking was carried out through a phishing email sent from a Bangabhaban address. The hackers allegedly posted a misogynistic message briefly, which the party says contradicts Dr. Rahman’s views and Jamaat’s political ideology. Earlier, Jamaat alleged at another press conference that several key messages linked to the hacking were sent from a Bangabhaban email address. Jamaat further alleged that the phishing email was sent using the official email address of an assistant programmer at Bangabhaban ([email protected]) and that opening the attached file led to the takeover of Dr. Rahman’s X account.
