We were hacked!

what kind of tools do they use?

Admission

President Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo issues an apology, and admitting that the voice in the Wiretapgate audio was indeed hers.  She does not admit to rigging the vote, but she says:
I was anxious to protect…

“Now that the security breach has been traced, we have taken the necessary measures to prevent the likelihood of future incidents.”

may post na naman si rebarz99…magaling talaga yun.

baka naman coincidence lng yung timing nya kahapon

i ban ninyo na yung ip.

@crd_web – the hacker is good. Banning the IP wont do anything

1st of all i want to clarify the word ” hacker ” media of today are not using this word in a proper way, ” Originally, a hacker was someone who made furniture with an axe. In computing slang it is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. Also, one who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.” PCIJ use the web application called WordPress for posting Blogs entries into their site, basically rebz use a exploit (security hole) of WordPress that discover by some person to access on the PCIJ Blog site (the exploit can be found here http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/401672 ), this people who use premade scripts and break into websites and vandalize the sites are nothing but a script kiddies (definition of script kiddie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_kiddie ) , theres hundreds of script kiddies in the internet maybe thousands or more, what they do is compromise a computer system for their own profit and fun, how they do this? they oftentimes visit a Security Vulnerability Database website like http://www.securityfocus.com and when a new security holes release they go grab the script/codes and use it into a affected computer system and compromise it, if this people really eager of learning computer security, they can practice it in a legal way.. and yet you might ask why this people breaking illegally into some computers? the common reason is they want to gain popularity in the cyber world … and why do i bother about this article? its just simply because when you publish a article about a script kiddie and calling them ” hackers ” your just increasing their EGO…..

How can the future authors of history books skip the name Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? When the name was the name of the first politician or president ever in the history of the Philippines who was caught CHEATING! The people would not remember the Mcapagal-Arroyo clan through the overly budgeted Diosdado Macapagal Highway, the infamous Doña Eva Macapagal Terminal at the back of Manila Hotel, the infamous 200 peso bill and the largest airport in the Philippines the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport but they will remember them as one of most corrupt first family ever in the history… maybe second after Marcos… I don’t believe that ERAP is more corrupt than GMA….

Others say that who cares all of them cheat, what’s the big deal??? The big deal is that finally someone was caught… The second female president of the republic the one whom we thought would improve our economy, a star and a hero last EDSA II and who was supposed to be a successor to a “corrupt president”… Our hopes suddenly faded away last June 6,2005 when the audio CD containing how GMA rigged in the 2004 presidential polls, the jueteng scandals, the Jose Pidal issue…all these issues broke the credibility of the President totally….

The political crisis here in the country gets worse day by day and as analyst say, the only thing that would end this crisis is for the President to resign…..

If the president truly loves the country and was really sorry to what she had done to all her citizens, her apology must come with a resignation… yet she insisted that she didn’t cheat and that she would not step down…. She really is not sorry, she just wanted more people to support her and that she wanted her credibility back….

Was her credibility back after 24 hours of her admission??? The answer is a Big “NO”…she pushed herself more to the edge… more people calls for her resignation… She must shown her love and respect to our country by stepping down..prolonging her stay in the palace would mean a longer crisis and the more our economy would plundge…

GMA PLEASE RESIGN NOW! IT’s TIME FOR YOU TO GO…GOODBYE…

obvious naman na puppet lang si GMA, pinapabasa lang siya ng letter na gawa ng ‘boss’ niya.

i doubt its the big brother 😉 and
and if that’s a true blooded hacker..this site should be down and out by now.
but if i were you guys….
in case the ‘enemy’ decided to get dirty and serious your host should know how to handle a dos attack…its really nasty. believe me.
and pls…can you delete our ips in mysql? just in case this thing goes out of hand.i never used our encrypted routing network as a show of trust in your site’s competence but after this…
so pls kindly delete it. thanks.

I think hackers should hack this webby instead of pcij.org :

One can see the email add of Juan Miguel “Miggy” Arroyo- mikey_arroyo@yahoo.com

PCIJ has done much to the cause of Press Freedom in this country.

It’s the leanpost of truth, the sword of the gagged. PCIJ has done heroic to expose the venalities of government.

Yet, many do not know how much PCIJ have done to seek justice for murdered journalists. Many do not know how PCIJ safeguards the legion of its contributors.

In this country, it’s apt to be concerned when even its president was wire tapped. In this country where dirty money abounds in millions to buy hackers.

If PCIJ doesn’t watch out, hackers can truly endanger the lives of PCIJ staff and contributors. a HACKER enters your skin, ransack you inner vitals and spill out your guts, with laughter and gets handsomely paid for it.

A HACKER is worst than a virus a virus can give you lots of pain and head aches, wasted time and money. But it can not kill you, as a hacker can do in a fascistic country.

Remember this country is number one in eliminating those who practice their freedom of expression.

TO PCIJ: THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE: WATCH YOUR BACK AND YOUR DOMAINS. YOU OWE IT TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.

You guys deserved to be hacked. You claimed it’s no surprise because your “sources” told you that “certain quarters” are soliciting hackers/crackers to take down your blog and yet you did not take steps to stop it from happening. Whoever is your IT consultant should be bitch slapped & fired.

If this guy is smart, and he probably is, you’ll never catch him. They usually connect to multiple servers and/or open proxies before attacking a server.

As prem stated, there are known exploits in WordPress, a poor choice in blogging software I might add. Checking out packetstorm yields a significant number of exploits.

FG Mike Arroyo would do a great service to the country if he goes to IRAQ and help our kababayans over there instead of going somewhere else. Kung ayaw naman nya at magdesisyong magpunta na lang sa bansang gustuhin nya; nanawagan ako sa lahat ng Pilipino na maaring mapuntahan ni FG Mike Arroyo na KALAMPAGIN, KULITIN at ‘WAG TANTANAN sa panawagan ng sambayanan na Gloria ALIS D’YAN.

Ed, it’s not as if we didn’t do any precautionary measures when we learned of the threats. We did inform our host about it and had them raise the level of security of our site. The breach happened with the blog, with the “hacker” likely exploiting the security holes in the blogging software.

So far, we’re happy with WordPress. As prem also said, there are known exploits not just with WordPress but with any other blogging tool. We just have to be extra vigilant from hereon.

Hi Alecks,

WordPress 1.5.1.3 is now available which addresses another security issue (though not yet known publicly).

Go ahead and upgrade your blog: http://wordpress.org/development/2005/06/wordpress-1513/

Thanks, Abe. Already installed version 1.5.1.3.

Alecks,

Here we go again, I’m being bugged by SPAM KARMA!

I cant make a successful post.

O baka SPAM KARMA is Cory and Gloria, combined?
