14 DAY TRIAL // Hackers have defaced the official site of the Parliament of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It wasn’t an attack against the country’s rulers, but a method of showing administrators that the website was full of security holes that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
“Greatz to admin, Your website hacked due to security vulnerabilities, patch your website, keep it updated. Don’t worry all your files and your database are still here. This is a warning, what other hackers can do to your website. Keep it in mind,” the hacker CoD3X wrote on the defaced page.
Trinidad and Tobago officials have confirmed the breach and are working on determining how the hackers managed to gain access, The Hacker News reports.
Currently the site is working properly, but it’s uncertain if the flaws have been addressed.
