Trying to get into government websites is akin to hackers taking their final examinations, an official of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center said Thursday. CICC Assistant Secretary Mary Rose Magsaysay made the remark in a public briefing when asked about the number of government agencies being targeted by hackers.“Basta kapag government, yummy, iyan talaga ang pinipilit giyerahin ng bawat ano.

The vulnerabilities were discovered via Project SONAR : Automated Vulnerability Assessment, which DICT implemented in December 2023 as a response to multiple hacking incidents of government websites.Among the agencies that were subjected to cyberattacks last year were the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, Senate, House of Representatives, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, and the DOST.
