The website of the Senate of the Philippines was reportedly targeted by a cyberattack on June 10, with local hacktivist group Nullsec Philippines claiming responsibility for the incident. According to the group, it somehow gained unauthorized access to the website and then changed its content, such as by posting a message calling for more transparency, accountability, and action against government corruption.
