PHL government websites hacked in fresh round of attacks
A group of hackers claiming to be the Philippine branch of the hacktivist collective Anonymous attacked multiple government websites on Monday.
The hackers replaced the homepages of the websites with a message expressing dissatisfaction with the world's governments.
“Your governments have failed you, they sit atop their thrones and abuse their power,” read the message.
As of 4:30 p.m., the list of hacked government sites include:
- http://dirp4.pids.gov.ph/CDN/ — website of Philippine Institute for Development Studies
- http://braulioedujali.gov.ph/ — website of Braulio E. Dujali, a municipality from Davao del Norte

Anonymous also called for masked protests. “Throw your political ideologies to the side on November 5th and stand tall with a fellow human against worldwide government corruption and tyranny.”
Last year, there were also a round of attacks on government sites, which called for a march outside the Batasan Pambansa gates. “(L)et us march our way to freedom - a freedom from the shackles of the Government.” — Bea Montenegro/JST, GMA News
