The Philippine Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) has called on other state agencies to review their Internet security measures amid recent hacking incidents of government websites by supporters of China’s claim to the disputed Scarborough Shoal.
The website of the Department of Budget and Management has remained inaccessible, as of Thursday, as the DBM continued to do security checks following the two hacking attacks on its site last Wednesday, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said.
The government has warned Filipino techies against defacing Chinese websites amid tensions over the disputed Scarborough Shoal off the coast of Zambales, which both Manila and Beijing are claiming as their own.
