Official Bulacan Website Hacked

Posted on August 31st, 2010. Written by Rico.

Last week, GameOPS reported that the website of the Province of Bulacan was hacked, apparently in relation to the bus hostage crisis. Someone without the proper authorization managed to upload a web page containing a message in Chinese.

The original message read:

《中华人民共和国》万岁！！

菲律宾布拉干省人民政府 我来自伟大的中华人民共和国,你们应该就菲劫持人质事件作出一个道歉

你们在人质事件上的态度大大的错误导致人质被杀就是你们政府的不作为,不把咱中国人当人,请求你们道歉行不,菲律宾的哥？？？

Through the help of Sophie Uy, here’s a slightly edited translation:

I am from “Great” Mainland China and I think you should apologize for the victims of the Manila hostage bloodbath. You made a huge mistake on the attitude of hostage crisis which caused 8 Chinese die. You didn’t take Chinese people as real people so I am asking for your, Filipino, apology.

GameOPS also reported that the hacked site was updated the other day. The new page features a different layout and message, as well as a Tagalog translation copy-pasted from Google Translate.

As of this writing however, the page has been taken down.
