Statement by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Deputy Governor for Resource Management Juan De Zuniga, Jr. on website hacking

“Late last night the website of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (http://www.bsp.gov.ph/) was hacked by a group who claimed to speak for freedom. For a few hours, our website was inaccessible to those who needed to get real-time information from the BSP.  We apologize to the public that we serve for this interruption.

As of 2 am today, the website of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has been up and running, restored and able to serve the public once again.
The BSP’s internal Information Technology Group worked on the immediate restoration of our website after ensuring that our security firewall kept our database protected.”
