[funsec] Hackers attack Philippine government website

2010-08-31 Thread Juha-Matti Laurio
"The Philippines on Sunday ordered all government offices to tighten Internet 
security after its main
information website was brought down by hackers.

"We are alerting all government agencies to review and improve security of 
their websites in view
of the hacking of the website this afternoon," presidential spokesman Herminio 
Coloma said.

...

Coloma did not say whether the hacker attack was related to widespread public 
anger in Hong Kong
over police bungling of a hostage crisis that left eight tourists dead on 
Monday."

No Obvious Signs? Really, THATS supposed to be reassuring?

In the words of Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State, "he's either
really really dumb, or really, really smart."

I think it's a pretty good assumption that bodies that died of natural causes
rarely end up stuffed in a bag in the bathroom.  And "no obvious signs" doesn't
mean much if it was a spook-on-spook thing.
