Now, here comes the biting reality…hacks and cyber attacks occur in Pakistan all the time and are here to stay. The defunct e-crime bill will not protect you and your company from a fate suffered by the News, Daily Times and countless others.This is the second documented attack on a news website after the Daily times web attack I covered a few weeks ago.
I know that this priority takes a back seat, it does with almost everyone, but if you are an IT manager/network admin, I would suggest you dont wait for someone like this to happen to you, and yes, you could get fired on the spot.

If virii are enemy no.1 , then hacks should be enemy number 0. Why? because virii dont let the world know how screwed up your IT security is.

Jehan has covered this here as well.
