Anonymous Philippines strikes again: President Aquino’s website defaced
The official website of President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines was the latest victim by the group, “Anonymous Philippines”, as the group hacked into the president’s website and defaced the site’s Latest News section Thursday, according to a ABS-CBN report today.
Anonymous Philippines hacked directly into the website Thursday morning despite the high security measure taken by the government. It is reported that the site uses CloudFlare anti-DDoS software among other software.
The hacking was a protest against the Aquino administration’s handling of the crisis in Sabah.
Specifically, the message said:
“Greetings, President Aquino! We have watched how you signed into law a bill that endangers and tramples upon the netizens’ freedom of speech and expression. Now, we are silent witnesses as to how you are mishandling the Sabah issue. We did not engage the Malaysian hackers who invaded our cyberspace since we expected you to appropriately and judiciously act on the same, but you failed us.
“You did nothing while our fellow brothers are being butchered by the Malaysian forces, and while our women and children become subject of human rights abuses. If you can’t act on the issue as the Philippine President, at least do something as a fellow Filipino. We are watching.”
