With the ICT Office of the Department of Science and Technology just starting to put all government sites under roof, hackers pulled a trick on the websites of four public agencies on Thursday, Aug 8.
PinoyHackNews reported that Bangladesh-based Grey Hat Hackers defaced the online sites of the Municipality of Pikit, Cotabato, the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino, the Optical Media Board, and two sub-domains of National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and its homepage.
The hackers who claimed responsibility for the attack were Krad Xin and Dr@cul@, according to PinoyHackNews.
?And for what reason? The hackers said, it is just for ?special defacements,? the local hacking news site said.
Late last month, the ICT Office said it has already prepared the guidelines for migrating all government websites to its hosting service as contained in the recent order of Pres. Benigno Aquino III.
