Prime Minister Office Conversations Leaked – Bids on Dark Web

• Three leaked audio clips apparently of PM Shehbaz Sharif surfaced in 24 hours.
• Are there more audio leaks and of Ex PM Imran Khan or Army Chief from PM Office?
• Leaked data of 8GB with over 100 files goes on bid on the dark web.

As a serious concern, 8GB of leaked (or hacked) data with 100 plus files put on bid at Breached forums – one of the top dark web communities. The data purportedly consists of important conversations of Prime Minister of Pakistan.

There have been three different audio leaks of the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in past 24 hours taking rounds of the social media. The three audio clips went viral only today, however those clips were first seen on September 3rd, 2022 at Breached forums.

If the forum user, indishell, is to be believed, these three audio clips were only provided as a sample token to attract interested customers to buy the full data worth of 8gigs. The user has set the minimum bid of 180 BTC (over $3.4 million or around PKR 800 million as of today) to sell the data, purportedly consisting of conversations of the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

According to the user, the data consists of “important and complete conversations of Prime Minister of Pakistan with all high profile people including those who are influential and not in power.” The forum user mentioned that the three files are only presented as samples that “speak of what all is available to the highest bidder.”

Digging further into details, we found that the same forum user first started an introductory thread about the leaked data on August 20, 2022. However, in that thread, the user only introduced the leaked data to the community with no sample included. Other community members asked about the details, content and the people speaking those conversations.

Interestingly, indishell answered to some important questions like, which Pakistani PM?, or if the conversations with the army chief included? He answered “Present and Ex PM” to the first question and “YES. This details is highly classified only told to higher bidder” to the other question.

It’s worth noting that the user, indishell, has not shared any audio sample of the Ex Prime Minister Imran Khan or a sample conversation with the Army Chief. Right now, what we hear in the three leaked audio files is the conversation between the present PM Shehbaz Sharif talking to three different people.

Leaked Audio 1: One of the three leaked audios is purportedly with Maryam Nawaz, niece of the present PM and the daughter of Mian Nawaz Sharif.

Leaked Audio 2: In the second audio allegedly Toqeer Shah – principle secretory PM is purportedly talking to the PM.

Leaked Audio 3: While the third audio contains a purported conversation between the top leadership of PMLN.
