The defacement involves the following message: “UP, DINGGIN NINYO ANG ISANG NATATANGING PROTESTA.”
This is one example of hackers defacing websites to protest social and political injustice around the globe.
UP Diliman Administration published online a statement, which said: “We are still investigating the circumstances that led to the defacement of the UVLê website on 7 March 2021. We will make sure to do what is fair and just to all concerned. Rest assured that the University has backups of the system and will restore services at the soonest possible time even while the investigation is ongoing.”
Web defacement is typically done by hackers who break into a web server and replace the hosted website with one of their own. Using techniques such as Remote Code Execution, SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting etc. Common targets of defacement are religious websites, government websites, bank websites and corporate websites.

Jerielle credits her distinction as Summa Cum Laude graduate to her hard work, her
family’s support and the Insular Foundation’s Gold Eagle Scholarship.

The one-time Insular Life Gold Eagle Scholar and now University of the Philippines (UP) instructor puts premium not only on hard work but on initiative as well. Jerielle recalled how she looked for financial aid almost as soon as she finished reading her UP admission letter. Unabashed by need and counting on the promise of assistance on her admission letter, she trooped with her father to UP Diliman’s Vinzons Hall to ask about available scholarships.
