Malacanang under Chinese DDOS attack

Malacañang on Monday afternoon said three of its official websites were attacked by hackers whose IP addresses are assigned to Chinese networks.

In a press statement, the office of the Press Secretary said the websites of the Official Gazette, Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO), and the Presidential Museum and Library were attacked.

"At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon of April 23, 2012, the PCDSPO noticed a significant spike in traffic with malicious URL requests from forged user-agents being channeled to the Official Gazette website, to the PCDSPO website, and to the Presidential Museum and Library website, causing our servers to momentarily lag," the OPS said.

"We determined that this was a denial-of-service attack. Information gathered through our data analysis indicated that the attack originated from IP addresses assigned to Chinese networks," it further said.

The OPS said the PCDSPO is endeavoring to maintain its websites.

"Please note that we can expect temporary disruption of service while the attack is ongoing," it added.

I think the Chinese have heavily infiltrated the Philippine network. What happened to the National Broadbank Network Plan of the Philippines where the prime contractor was ZTE of China?

This should be a good lesson to other countries who are allowing
Chinese telecom equipment to be used to be wary including India.

Australia lately said no to allowing China into its broadband network... BTW I think India should provide a competitive tech company to challenge Chinese ZTE and co.

I think the Philippines have some of the most talented, albeit, notorious, hackers. I think the "I love you" virus was created in the Philippines. The Philippine government should prioritise the rounding up of Filipino talents to create a cyberwarfare command of some sort.

sad to say It didn't push through due to alleged anomalies involved like corruption.

"I love you" virus was created Onel De guzman a student of AMA University, He may be a talented student but sad to say he used that talent in a wrong way.
Agree, if only our government would listen but they don't. a STUPID GOVERNMENT if you ask me.

quotes from Filipino hackers

"The recent defacements occurred on certain Chinese websites were just a simple response to what happened to the UP site. You may continue bullying our country's waters but we will not tolerate you from intimidating our own cyber shores," said a message left by Filipino hackers on some of the websites they defaced.

"Those defacements are just a mere response to what you have initially started. We are not trying to start anything. We are just trying to tell you that we do not want to be bullied in our own cyberspace too," the message added.

"#OpChinaDown is not a threat. It will be a response. A response to future attacks within our cyberspace. We will leave our country's disputes to our government's hands. Yet this does not mean we will not support them," said the hackers, who are allegedly associated with the Anonymous global hackers group.

"One Truth Prevails, Scarborough Shoal is ours," they said. "We are Anonymous. We are legion. We don't forgive. We don't forget. United as one, Divided by zero. Expect us."

Budget office website defaced by suspected Chinese hackers
Budget office website defaced by suspected Chinese hackers | Infotech News: InterAksyon.com

DBM Website hacked allegedly by Chinese nationals as of 3:00 P.M., April 25, 2012.

MANILA, Philippines — (UPDATED 4:00 P.M.) The government's Department of Budget and Management (DBM) website fell victim to what appears to be hackers from China on Wednesday in the latest in a spate of defacement activities between Philippine and Chinese hackers.

The homepage of the DBM website prominently displayed the Chinese flag with the words "Don't trouble the Chinese, Don't play with Fire" displayed below it.

"How come a small b**** border country are overconfident? And challenged to our Chinese super hacker?" the hackers' message read.

It added: "Remeber: Don't Trouble Chinese, Don't Play with Fire. All Members from Silic Group Hacker Army ----- your mother and all your F8cking families (sic)."

The DBM website is the latest Philippine web property defaced by alleged Chinese hackers in response to the ongoing tensions between the two countries in their respective claims of islands West of the Philippines.

On Monday, Malacañang revealed that several gov.ph websites have come under attack from computer systems whose IP addresses were traced to China. On Friday, the UP System website was also defaced by hackers claiming to be from China.

The government has strongly condemned the cyber attacks, but reiterated that the administration does not condone such actions by local hackers as they do very little in easing the heightening tension between the two countries.

In a statement, Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad said, "at about 2:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, April 25, the website of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) was defaced"¦our initial findings indicate that all important data in the website remain intact. We are at present conducting a security audit on the site, which will remain offline until the audit has been completed and the necessary repairs are made. In addition, we have yet to establish the true identities of the parties or individuals responsible for the attack."

"Last week, the DBM made a soft launch of its new website, which was designed to be more user-friendly, navigable, and interactive for web users and visitors. It is fortunate that we shifted to the new platform, which presents fewer security risks than the DBM's previous content management system," the statement added.

The DBM website was restored minutes later.

Chinese hackers target more PH websites

Posted at 04/25/2012 9:16 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Chinese hackers plan to attack more Philippine government websites, according to their discussions on the Internet.

An online forum of Chinese hackers belonging to the "Silic Group" tagged the Philippine Institute of Development Studies (PIDS) and Bulacan provincial government websites that are next in their firing line.

One forum user even posted usernames and passwords of Bulacan provincial government website administrators.

The Bulacan website remained intact as of 8 p.m. Wednesday. Its log-in page for administrators has a time-lock security feature that prevents people logging in outside regular office hours.

An administrator of the Chinese hackers' forum at bbs.blackbap.org also boasted about "first-hand" details about the attack that crippled the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) website on Wednesday afternoon.

The message indicated that those who defaced the DBM website are the same ones who attacked the Vietnamese government's website, gov.vn.

The hackers allegedly discussed their attack on the DBM website in a chat hub for several minutes.

Details about the DBM server webshell address, administrator and publisher accounts were posted online.

While the Philippine government has yet to publish full details about the DBM attack, the Chinese hackers apparently turned the DBM website into a chat room.

"How Come a Small Bitch Border Country are (sic) Overconfident? And Challenged (sic) to Our Chinese Super Hacker (sic)?" the hackers posted on the DBM website in mangled English.

The hackers also post racist comments in the forum, referring to Filipinos as "maids who are going up against the Chinese government."

One thread on the hackers' forum, meanwhile, expressed glee at the recent attack on the University of the Philippines website.

It is not clear if members of the forum are the perpetrators of the UP website defacement.

Some of the threads on the "Silic Group" hackers' forum directly referred to the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough shoal. They indicated that their attacks are linked to the issue.

One forum member referred to the Scarborough standoff as "Huangyan Island incident."

He said Chinese hackers should "punish the Philippines" and target Philippine websites, "especially its portal."

Malacañang on Monday said websites of the Official Gazette, the PCDSPO, and the Presidential Museum and Library website were targets of a denial-of-service attack.
