The Philippine government’s www.gov.ph website was hacked on Wednesday over the killings of the nine activists in different raids in Southern Tagalog on Sunday.
As of 9:40 p.m., the said website maintained by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) was still inaccessible and only bore a message that stated that the website was broken. “Websites sometimes break. Please wait while we put it back together,” the message on the website read.
However, a group called Cyber PH Human Rights claimed responsibility for the cyberattack on the main website of the Philippine Government through a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack.
