Manila-Taipei cyberwar threatens to escalate as PHL group vows 'operation' 菲律賓駭客集團誓言「準備進行任務」 馬尼拉與台北的網路戰爭威脅升級
A cyberwar between pro-Philippine and pro-Taiwan hackers threatened to escalate Sunday after a hacker group claiming affiliation with the hacktivist collective Anonymous vowed to get back at pro-Taiwan counterparts for attacking the Commission on Elections' website.
The Anonymous #Philippine Cyber Army claimed Comelec's website www.comelec.gov.ph, which was still inaccessible Sunday afternoon, remained under cyber-attack by Taiwan.
"Comelec is still under cyber attack by Taiwan. It has dealt great damage and delay on our government website, most especially on about our activities for the coming May 13 elections," it said.
But the group also hinted at a retaliatory attack against those it claimed are attacking the Comelec website.
但是該團體也暗示將報復那些宣稱曾攻擊他們選委會網站的地方。(批踢踢小心囉)
The Comelec's website had contained a tool that could help voters find their precincts on Election Day.
選委會網站裡包括了一個幫助選民找到自己選區的工具。
"Be ready your keyboard guys, the OP will be launched soon," it said, but did not elaborate.
「準備好你們的鍵盤,大夥兒,任務即將開始。」該組織宣稱,但是沒有細說內容。
On Saturday, several Philippine websites were apparent victims of a distributed denial-of-service attack. Hours later, several Taiwanese websites were attacked.
星期天的時候,數個菲律賓網站明顯成為了DDOS攻擊的受害者。數個小時後,幾個臺灣網站也受到了攻擊。
The attacks came in the wake of a row between the Philippines and Taiwan last Thursday. A 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman was shot dead in the encounter in disputed waters. — LBG, GMA News
