#dost cyberattack

We just discovered a few pages of DTI and DOST that have been apparently hacked by gambling operators. As shown in these screen shots of Google search results, Scatter has managed to inject pages into several DTI and DOST subdomains. Even searching for the term "scatter" on Google will yield results on the first pages that includes the DOST and DTI websites. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) announced that 2TB of data was affected in a cyberattack on the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). DICT spokesperson Aboy Paraiso told ABS-CBN News that they are working with DOST to recover the lost data. The group also mentioned a notorious threat actor named ‘ph1ns’ that gained access to DOST’s critical network components. Ligot also believes that the 2TB of data was affected in the cyberattack could have been done by Filipinos.
