• •No confidential information was compromised, according to initial assessments by DICT.
• •The Philippine National Police is urging a review of cybersecurity measures across government agencies.

The House of Representatives website in the Philippines was reportedly hacked and defaced on June 13, 2026, by a group of hackers claiming to protest against government corruption. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is investigating the incident, coordinating with law enforcement to restore services and enhance security. Initial assessments indicate that no confidential information was compromised, as the affected pages contained only publicly available data. This incident follows a similar attack on the Senate website earlier in the week, also attributed to the same hacker group, Nullsec Philippines. The Philippine National Police (PNP) has urged all government agencies to review their cybersecurity measures in light of these attacks. The DICT activated its incident response procedures immediately after the breach was reported. Criminal charges may be pursued against those responsible under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
