Four days after the Philippines won the maritime arbitration case against the Chinese government over the West Philippine Sea (in the South China Sea), suspected Chinese hackers attacked local government unit (LGU) websites in some towns of Bohol.

The defaced websites include those belonging to the LGUs of Panglao (https://www.panglao.gov.ph) and Loon (https://www.loon.gov.ph).

As of writing, only the Panglao website has been taken down and cannot be accessed.
