Now that one alleged audio leak is out, here is my OSINT report about its origin and what can be its implications.
Let's go back to 20th August.
A user "indishell" posted on a hacking forum that he has access to the leaked data of Pakistan PM Office.
This user has no prior history on this hacking forum. It looks like he created this account just to post about these leaks.
Two threads, 16 posts - all about this alleged data leak in the PM office.
3- He claimed that he has access to "important & complete conversations of Prime Minister of Pakistan with all high profile people including those who are influential and not in power."
When asked which PM, he said "present and ex PM".
User asked people to bid in order to get access to this leak - with minimum bid being 18 0BTC. (around $345000)
He also said that highest bidder will get the samples audios of this leak before making the payment.
In the comments, a user suggested that he may be scammer and advised othera to be careful.
In response to it, 'hacker' shared links to the 3 alleged leaked audio samples of the PM office probably to prove that he is not a scammer.
These 3 audio leaks are allegedly the PM House conversations between:
1) PM & a govt official (that's viral now) 2) An audio leak of cabinet meeting. 3) PM and a woman politician audio
It's important to understand that these are not leaked audio calls. These are recorded conversations in PM Office.
More than the content of audios, it is important to know how these convos got recorded? if these audios are legit, this is massive security lapse..
If someone was able to bug the PM office, you've no idea how much of "data" has been leaked.
I don't vouch for the authenticity of these audios, unless these is a forensic analysis, but if these are legit leaks, the implications are huge.
I've two theories about it:
1) Someone was recording these conversations but he got hacked and data was leaked.
2) These audios weren't not really meant to be sold online, but to give the message that 'we have audios'.
If you've go though these audios, you may have noted that mic seems to be in a very close proximity to the PM.
Who has such close access to PM? someone in his team? these are the questions that matter most right now. Will we get answers? highly unlikely.

Pakistan issuing passports to Rohinga Muslims in Saudi Arabia: Is this some grand conspiracy? NOPE.
Many people angling it to fit their own political biases & narratives. Let's do a quick factcheck: 🇵🇰🧵🇸🇦
In 2012, Pakistan issued passports to 250,000 Rohinga Muslims on request of Saudi govt.
These Rohingas lived in Saudi Arabia but were "stateless". Issuing them the Pakistani passports made their stay in KSA legal & enabled them to get jobs etc.
However, these passports were not renewed by Pakistani govt recently & it was creating legal problems for the Rohingas in Saudi Arabia.
So again, at the request of Saudi govt, Pakistan has announced to look into the matter and expedite the process of renewal of theor passports.
This happens you force religion on ur people. Eventually, they get tired of it. Mind it, Iran has the highest number of atheists among Islamic countries.
Iranian Mullah regime is using religion as tool to keep control, but is pushing youth away from religion in process.
Morocco has no strict religious laws like Iran. Instead, it has bars, clubs & doesn't force people to follow religion.
However, its is building more mosques bec more ppl have now started going to mosques, by their own will, not by force. This is how a country should be.
This should be wake up call for many other Islamic countries where there are stricter laws about religion.
There is a reason why Quran clearly says that there is no compulsion in Islam. People should explore Islam by their own will, not by force.
Imran Khan is an existential threat to many interest groups in Pakistan and their monopolies:
He has destroyed Khaki's monopoly on nationalism, Mullah's monopoly on religion, PMLN's monopoly on civilian supremacy & media's on narrative.
This is THE problem. Rest is NOISE.
He has also ended liberals' monopoly on "defending human rights". Never have they been this exposed before.
These groups had their "territories" defined and they never challenged eachother's defined territory.
IK has not only challenged them in their own territories, but has snatched their traditional support base as well, leaving them screaming & screeching.
In this god-forsaken country, you get picked up or even killed for sending a mean tweet about a govt official.
But you can call Jinnah a pedophile, disrespect the Prophet & nobody can touch you, if you have got right friends, at the right places. Truly a wasteland.
A random politician or a grade 22 official yields more respect than the founder of this nation.
If have the right friends on social media to defend you, (across party divides), you can also double down on disrespecting the prophet & make a victory sign.
This tweet is not a call for arresting anybody. I know system shields its "own children", while the others are made examples & killed in process.
This is just a reminder of the stark anomalies that exist at the centre of the system that controls this nation.
