Hacking group Anonymous Philippines use Twitter account PLDTCares to call out the telecommunications company. Read:
MANILA, Philippines – One of PLDT's Twitter accounts has apparently been taken over by what appears to be the hacking group Anonymous Philippines on Thursday, May 28.The post says,"As the pandemic arises, Filipinos need fast internet to communicate with their loved ones. Do your job. The corrupt fear us, the honest support us, the heroic join us. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget . Expect us.
ANONYMOUS ON PLDT. The PLDT_Cares Twitter account appears to have been taken over by Anonymous Philippines. Screenshot from Twitter.DEFACED. The PLDT Twitter account appears to have been tampered with. Screenshot from Twitter. About 20 minutes after the first Anonymous post, a new tweet threatens Globe, saying that their Twitter account may soon be hacked too.Nearly an hour since the first post, the account appears to remain under the control of the hackers. Another tweet pokes fun at the fact that PLDT's last post before the Anonymous posts is a cybersecurity reminder:
Shortly after the"How ironic" post, the page's original name, PLDT Cares, was restored, and the hacker's tweets were deleted except for the first one.Meanwhile, the PLDT Facebook page appears to be unaffected.PLDT released a statement on Thursday afternoon at around 2:45 pm, saying their Twitter account"has been recovered and is now ready to serve."Hacking can happen to anyone.
The company added,"We are keenly aware of people's need for internet services and that's precisely why, when the ECQ was imposed in March, PLDT provided speed boosts for its fibr customers and Smart increased data allocations for its mobile phone customers. That's also why, despite the restraints on movement and supply chain problems, we continue to invest heavily in our network roll out for fiber and LTE.
