The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)’s website has been defaced, INQUIRER.net has learned Saturday.
Based on this screenshot of the agency’s website, the website has been vandalized by supposed foreign hackers.
The website currently contains cryptic messages from a hacker called “x55x.”
The hacker has also placed “General Palestine” in the defaced website and a flag of Palestine plus a message at the end of the page that says, “Don’t forget Palestine.”
Officials of the agency are currently unavailable for comment at this writing.
Government offices are closed after December 25th (Friday) was declared a holiday to give way to people celebrating the Christmas festivities.
One Feedback on "DTI website defaced"

Hi,
This only means that the government website has a weak website security. If they can defaced the DTI website that means they already penetrated the network and they can steal sensitive information. The government should invest more in their IT infrastructure security. They should not take this for granted even if it is a holiday. The worst thing that these hackers can do is penetrate the IT network of the BSP or NTC or SSS or our stock market and steal our money. We pay taxes, government please use it wisely.
