After PNA site hacking, govt to adopt security measures - Coloma

From InterAksyon (Apr 14): After PNA site hacking, govt to adopt security measures - Coloma

With the latest incident of hacking in government website, Malacanang on Sunday said it would adopt measures to strengthen the security of government websites.

Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio "Sonny" Coloma said the news on the hacking of the Philippines News Agency website had been released by a hackers group and shared by others on Facebook.

Shortly before 12 noon today, PNA’s site was defaced by what seemed like Chinese hackers.

The website showed a flag of China and the following message: "China Hacker EvilShadow Team. We are evil shadow. We are the team. We have our own dignity. China Hacker Lxxker. mail:9718692@qq.com"

The PNA website was back up after an hour.

The incident seemed to be in retaliation for the recent arrest of supposed Chinese fishermen whose vessel ran around on Tubbataha Reef.

The PNA website was first defaced by those claiming to be Chinese during the height of the issue over the disputed Scarborough Shoal.

"We continue to adopt measures that will strengthen the security of our websites," said Coloma in a statement.
