Hackers of gov’t websites known – De Lima

By

MANILA, Philippines—The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has already pinpointed personalities involved in defacing government websites, Justice Secretary Leila De Lima said

Justice Secretary Leila de Lima

Monday.

“As of last week, some personalities were identified. Is it just for fun…or were they wittingly violating the law? Those who are involved in hacking will be pinned down. Is this a loose group or loosely formed group…?” De Lima told reporters Monday.

Hacktivists have been defacing government websites in protest of President Benigno Aquino III’s approval of Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Some of the government websites defaced include the Official Gazette under the Office of the President, Senate and Congress’ website, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, among others.

    parang unsure si secretary at parang di sigurado…

    “As of last week, some personalities were identified. Is it just for fun…or were they wittingly violating the law? Those who are involved in hacking will be pinned down. Is this a loose group or loosely formed group…?”

    bakit ho yung media ang tatanungin nyo kung for fun lang ba or if wel organized sila. kala ko ba identified na and they will be pinned down.. Dapat alam nyo na ang sagot jan sa mga tanong nyo. diba po ba nadebrief? Ay oo nga pala.. ang dapat po siguring tanong eh. Nasa pilipinas ba ang mga na-identify na hacktivist? hehe good luck sa pagtrace

    int main()
    {
        char anoDaw = “D3Lima”;
        char remarks = “Goodluck!”;
        if (anoDaw==”D3Lima”)
        {
            printf(“%sn”,remarks);
        }
        return 0;

    well judging by their ability to protect their systems…
    it almost near impossible that the government can really track down their hackers…

    Are you sure De lima? To educate you, here is the bigger picture of what you are claiming…

    Anonymous are one of the most powerful
    international group in worldwide web, they are composed of
    hundreds nameless hacktivist individuals all over the world who unexpectedly star strucked the
    Philippine Government Cyberworld…

    Kaya mo ba ipakulong lahat yan? What if sabay sabay nilang ideface ang lahat ng website ng Philppine Government? Ipapahuli mo ba lahat ang daan daang Hacktivist sa interpol?

    Well, with the way the Philippine
    government addressed the issue, expect more from them…
