MANILA, Philippines – The official website of local cable channel Basketball TV was compromised today, May 18, by hackers claiming to be Chinese.
The homepage of the basketball channel was defaced with an image of the words “Evil Shadow” beside the Chinese national flag. The image links to another website, which looks to be the online profile of a certain “Masako Jun.” The title of BTV’s web page was also changed to “CHINA COMMING!!”
The hacking of the cable channel’s website follows a pattern of “bilateral cyberbullying“ between the two nations. The websites of the Department of Budget and Management, the University of the Philippines, and the Office of the Vice President, among others, have also been defaced — allegedly by Chinese nationals as well.
These online battles come amid the prolonged standoff between both countries over the disputed Scarborough Shoal off Zambales. –with reports from Jyle Sulit/Rappler.com.
