A Chinese hacker group called Sky-Eye has defaced the website of the Bel-Air village in Makati City, the Philippines ((barangaybelair.ph).

The attack comes just as Hong Kong and the Philippines have announced their intentions of holding talks regarding the Manila bus hostage incident in which eight Chinese individuals were killed.

The bus hostage incident took place three years ago. However, Hong Kong and Filipino authorities have only agreed to begin official talks on Wednesday.

The hack attack was first reported by Pinoy Hack News. On the defaced website, the hackers demanded in both Chinese and English that the president of the Philippines issue a formal apology for the hostage incident.

The attackers have also urged President Aquino to step down, saying he is “not qualified to serve as president.”

At the time of writing, the website of Bel-Air is still defaced.
