Palace officials said Thursday that the official website of President Benigno Aquino was hacked and had to be shut down for a few hours.
In a statement, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Sonny Coloma said the hackers inserted one sentence in a critical piece of news concerning the Sabah issue. It was enough for palace officials to shut down the site and have its content reviewed carefully by their team.
Coloma added that internal security protocols were activated shortly after the breach, the Journal reported.
