The website of the Pakistan Consulate General in Dubai has been hacked
into; a click on options on the home page menu leads to pornographic sites.

"I was stunned to see links for 'girls' and 'dating' when I tried to
get information about educational institutions in Pakistan on the
consulate's website www.pakcgdubai.org.ae," said a prominent Pakistani
businessman.

This link looks a little sketchy too:

From: www.pakcgdubai.org.ae

http://www.pakcgdubai.com/(Empty%20Reference!)

He said this shows that no one at the consulate is updating or
maintaining the website, which is a window to information on consular
services and other information.

An official at the consulate said that they had already complained to
Etisalat and the links have been blocked.
