Shoaib told DawnNewsTV that hackers based outside Pakistan had breached the security systems of several local banks. "The hackers have stolen large amounts of money from people's accounts," he said.
Shoaib added that the agency has written to all banks, and a meeting of the banks' heads and security managements is being called.
