Globe website häçked due to ‘poor internet connection service’
MANILA, Philippines – The website of Globe Telecommunications was allegedly häçked by a group of häçktivists protesting their “poor internet connection service.”
The häçktivists identified themselves as “Blood Security häçkers” and posted a message that said “Dear Globe, your service on your internet connection is not worthy what we pay for. Do something or expect the consequence. This is just the beginning. Expect Us!”
The häçktivists also threatened that “all your data belong to us now!”
Yoly Crisanto, Head of Globe Corporate Communications, said in a statement that no customer data was compromised in the alleged breach of their website.
“Globe assures its customers that no critical customer data have been compromised as these information are not stored in the affected websites,” Crisanto said in a statement Friday.
“The said websites are used for advertising and marketing purposes only and are not connected to any of the private internal customer systems. Globe also said that its own Globe-hosted websites were not compromised,” Crisanto added.
The security breach was detected 10 p.m. Thursday night according to Globe and the four websites were “temporarily been taken down to conduct appropriate security checks.”
The häçking was reported Friday by Philippine technology blog Coorms.com which listed the websites of Globe that were breached.
As of 1:00pm Friday, the four websites listed remained offline with a message saying “we’re currently conducting a maintenance activity to improve system performance. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
The four websites that were offline are: mybusiness.globe.com.ph, payroll.globe-csme.com, duointernational.globe-csme.com, and update.globe-csme.com.
Coorms reported that Globe subscribers are unable to enjoy good internet service because of their use of “Data Capping” and “Throttling.”
