DICT urged to look into hacking of AFP, government websitesMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian called on the Department of Information and Communications Technology to thoroughly investigate the hacking of several government, military and educational institution websites. Hacking group Pinoy LulzSec hacked several websites, including military servers with database of Filipino soldiers, as an April Fool's joke last Monday. The AFP, meanwhile, is already looking into the reported hacking of its database with basic information of up to 20,000 military personnel. In March 2016, the same group leaked data on millions of Filipino voters and published it online for downloading. Anonymous Philippines then claimed responsibility for hacking the poll body's website but LulzSec Pilipinas leaked the information of 55 million registered voters.
