Hacker ‘puts’ Penis in DOH Secretary Mouth
I can’t seem to believe it and the headline sound funny but it is real. A hacker “puts” a penis in the mouth of Department of Health (DOH) Health Sec. Francisco Duque III. On December 17, net surfers visiting the Department of Health (DOH) official website found a picture of Health Sec. Francisco Duque III apparently holding male genitals towards his mouth.

And on the press release about the DOH’s firecracker ban campaign, was a drawing of a penis with the words “Use Penis” next to it.
The next day, alleged Indonesian hackers broke into the official website of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The DSWD home page displayed a large picture of a green and glowing Grim Reaper bearing the words “Hacker-newbie.org”, a Bahasa forum reportedly for hacker communities.
More recently, the National Disaster Coordinating Council’s official website was also hacked by “Heart Hacker.”
Hacker(s) vandalized several official government websites prior to the holidays, prompting internet security experts to question the government’s ability to protect sensitive information.
