DoE website hacked
THE DEPARTMENT of Energy (DoE) on Sunday said one of its websites has been hacked and defaced.
In a statement, the agency said its website for the Government Energy Management Program was hacked at around 6 p.m. on Saturday.
The Energy department took the system offline and was working with the National Computer Emergency Response Team (NCERT) and the system’s developer to address vulnerabilities.
NCERT is a division under the Cybersecurity Bureau of the Department of Information and Communications Technology that is responsible for receiving, reviewing and responding to computer security incident reports.
“While we are exerting all efforts to restore the website to full operation at the soonest possible time, we are also implementing our strategies to make our systems more resilient,” the DoE said. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
