NEWS | Several hacking incidents have been reported across the Philippines today, November 5. The amount of data taken, if any, has yet to be confirmed.
Affected systems reportedly include DICT Alagad, PCGG, Eastern Visayas State University, the Vice President’s scheduling system, DOLE Public Employment Service Office, DICT, and the Philippine Air Force’s clearance system. DeathNoteHackers claimed responsibility for the incident involving the Vice President’s system.
Other websites reportedly defaced include Bataan’s internal government website, the Philippine Nurses Association, Alliance Graduate School, and Luzviminda Construction and Development Corp.
November 5 also marks the annual Million Mask March, where protesters wear Guy Fawkes masks. Similar incidents involving Philippine websites have happened around this date before.
Last year, the government warned agencies about possible cyberattacks on November 5. With reports emerging again this year, will November 5 become a regular date for cyberattacks in the Philippines?
