ANONYMOUS user ‘3musketeerz’ said they hacked the website of the House of Representatives, Sunday morning.
The press releases and committee schedules on the website were also altered.
The homepage of its website earlier showed a troll face meme.
“Happy April Fullz Kahit October palang! Fix your Website,” the meme read.
In a statement, HOR secretary-general Reginald Velasco said that they are now investigating what happened with the help of the Department of Information and Communications Technology as well as other law enforcement agencies.
“While we work to restore the website fully, we ask for patience and understanding,” he emphasized.
“We are committed to ensure the security and integrity of our digital platforms, and we will implement additional measures to prevent such accidents in the future,” added Velasco.
For now, the House advised the public “to be cautious of any suspicious emails of communications” that claim to be from them.
“We will keep the public updated as more information becomes available,” Velasco said.
The HOR website was defaced earlier in the day with a “You’ve been hacked” meme as well as a message that read: “Happy April Fullz kahit October pa lang!”
The note also stated that it was hacked by a certain “~3MUSKETEERZ.”
The website is inaccessible, as of writing.
