In connection with cyberattacks on the social media accounts of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Ameer and other senior leaders, party's Assistant Secretary General and Head of the Central Publicity and Media Department Advocate Ahsanul Mahboob Zubair issued an official statement today, 1 February.

In the statement, he said: “The central campaign team of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has confirmed that recently cyberattacks occurred on the social media accounts of several senior leaders of the party, including the official Twitter (X) handle of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman.

Using a highly coordinated method, the attackers temporarily took control of the Ameer-e-Jamaat’s X (Twitter) account. However, through swift action and security measures, our cyber team was able to regain control within a short period of time. As a result, it was possible to ensure the security of other accounts and platforms.

During this brief period, an unwanted post was published in which false statements were circulated in the name of the Jamaat Ameer. We clearly state that the said post/content does not reflect any statement, opinion, or position of the honorable Jamaat Ameer. It is completely false and misleading. I strongly condemn and protest the dissemination of this false information.

We urge the general public, media professionals, and social media users to remain extremely cautious regarding fake news, fabricated quotations, and misleading information.

Spreading false information, committing identity forgery, and creating and disseminating distorted content are punishable by law and morally reprehensible. Such activities harm the democratic environment.

We request everyone to verify information only from official and reliable sources—do not share any content without verification, and report any suspicious or misleading content when encountered.

The Campaign Team remains fully committed to maintaining transparency, digital security, and the credibility of communication with the public. Further information will be provided if necessary.

We call upon all concerned to refrain from such unethical activities in the future.”
