PRC website hacked!



The website of the Professional Regulation Commission of the Philippines was hacked by a group of hackers that called themselves Fatal Error.

This is the same group that defaced the website of the Department of Trade and Industry (www.dti.gov.ph) and the Department of Science and Technology (www.dost.gov.ph) a few weeks ago.

The group said that the PRC website has multiple vulnerabilities due to unpatched Internet Information Services (IIS). It is also vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

The hackers, according to them, gave the system administrators tips on how to secure the site to avoid the same problem from happening again.
