hacked website

One of the ugliest thing that could happen to a blog or a website is getting hacked. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) reported that 19 government websites were hacked. Notably, no personal data was stolen in the tagged websites. As we investigate further the proliferation of these online gambling sites, it turns out that some of them have been doing some hacking on the side and targetting government websites to rank on search engines, especially Google. We just discovered a few pages of DTI and DOST that have been apparently hacked by gambling operators. Even searching for the term "scatter" on Google will yield results on the first pages that includes the DOST and DTI websites. When you own a company, a good advertising move is to set up a website for everyone to see and interact with. However, one of the risks that will always be present when you have a website is that it will be very vulnerable to attacks by hackers.
