MARCO VALBUENA
CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES
We denounce the cybercriminal and cybervandal groups serving the National Task Force-Elcac (NTF-Elcac) for the non-stop attacks against the websites of the Party, as well as other forces opposed to the Duterte tyrannical regime.
The attacks have been carried out by a group that spouts the same fascist lies mouthed by the NTF-Elcac. Since the start of the month, it has mounted an almost constant Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against the Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC, https://cpp.ph), the websites of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP, https:/ndfp.org) and of Prof. Jose Ma. Sison (josemariasison.org). It commands a botnet to overwhelm the servers of these websites and prevent public access.
The group also claims to have attacked the website of Bayan USA (bayanusa.org). It also brags of having mounted cyberattacks against the Kakampink website (https://kakampink.teamlenirobredo.com). This was after Vice President Leni Robredo, presidential candidate, voiced her opinion calling for the defunding and abolition of the NTF-Elcac in favor of more funds for health care and other social services.
It claims to be also behind the attacks on the websites of the Senate, of Senator Richard Gordon and other senators. The cyberattacks were carried out during the height of Blue Ribbon Committee investigations into the Pharmally scam which exposed the anomalous purchase of several billion besos of overpriced medical equipment involving Duterte’s close officials.
The cyberattacks against the CPP, Robredo supporters and other forces against the Duterte tyranny are being carried out by anti-democratic forces that are employed and funded by the NTF-Elcac. The obvious aim is to deny online space for revolutionary, progressive and democratic forces and prevent them to express their ideas and share news and information.
We believe that the severity of these attacks against the websites of the CPP, NPA and NDFP show how these platforms have effectively served to expose the lies being spun by the NTF-Elcac, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the entire propaganda machinery of the Duterte fascist regime.
The current attacks of the NTF-Elcac against the PRWC started to intensify after the CPP countered the AFP’s campaign of lies to cover up their cowardly murder of former NPA spokesman Ka Oris and NPA medic Ka Pika last October 29. Curiously, these attacks heightened further at around the same time that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was carrying out its cyberwarfare training (https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1512754/afp-holds-cyber-defense-exercises) leading us to believe that military cyberunits are also involved in these attacks.
These cybercriminals and cybervandals are zealots who are driven by the perverted Hitlerite notion that all revolutionary and democratic forces must be silenced. These cyberattacks are linked to the push of the NTF-Elcac and the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) to ban “subversive” books from university libraries.
The fascist aim is to control all sources of information and curtail our inherent freedom of expression in the hope of controlling the minds of the people, killing critical thought, making people blindly accept the official narratives spun by the reactionary government and paralyzing them to a stupor in the face of worsening forms of exploitation, oppression and repression.
Despite the massive amount of resources thrown against us by the NTF-Elcac, we vow to carry out our work to open the eyes of the Filipino people to the grave social realities, rouse them to fight against their oppressors and put an end to the US-Duterte regime’s reign of state terrorism.
