Politically Charged Promo Code Linked to Cyberattack at Burger Singh, India

Burger Singh, a popular Indian fast-food chain, faced a cyberattack orchestrated by a Pakistani hacking group Team Insane PK. The Indian fast-food chain drew the hacker group's attention when it released a politically charged promo code, 'FPAK20'

The company shared the news through their social media account on X (formerly Twitter), choosing to temporarily not act against the security breach. Rather than swiftly erasing the digital graffiti, Burger Singh made an unconventional decision to leave it up for a day, transforming the incident into what they dubbed as an "open mic night for hackers".
