  "account": "The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Karachi has successfully rescued a 13-year-old girl who was reportedly targeted by an online network, according to a tip-off received from an international intelligence agency. It was disclosed by the NCCIA director that the girl had been assigned dangerous tasks by a group believed to be connected with the dark web. Her initial assignment was to poison a cat and kill it, followed by the instruction to cause serious harm to herself.\n\nHowever, the NCCIA team managed to intervene before she could complete these tasks. They promptly informed her parents about the situation. The agency emphasized that her parents were unaware of her online activities and the hazardous tasks she had been receiving. The NCCIA is currently tracking the accounts that initially contacted the girl in an effort to identify those behind the network. They are also investigating whether the group has targeted other children in Pakistan.\n\nThe rescue has sparked concerns regarding the misuse of online platforms and hidden networks to manipulate children into performing harmful activities. The ongoing investigation has not yet disclosed further details about the suspects.",
