Philippines' Bureau of Customs Dozed by Hackers

A group of hackers performed DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on the Bureau of Customs in secret operation they named as #OpCustoms which started as early as yesterday and this morning. Hackers continuously attacked the Bureau of Customs website with multiple pings and packets which either downed the site for a brief period or it made it slow for access to users.

The DDOSers from the Anonymous groups who called themselves ~Pinoy LulzSec, ~Elite Cyber Security and ~MCA and PHU DDOS Squad said that they downed the site "For the OFW's around the world"

They are in sympathy with the recent policy being enforced by the Bureau Of Customs wherein all "Balikbayan Boxes" sent by OFWs from around the world will be subject to intense inspection to opening of the said packages.

A lot Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) from around the world reacted strongly to this and the hackers sympathized with the OFWs.

Their message?

Greetings!
We Are DDOSERS Came From Different Groups.
We unite for this #OPCustoms for the #OFW`s
THIS IS AN OPEN MESSAGE TO Bureau of Customs Specially to Commissioner Alberto Lina.
Why are you focusing your "ire" on the Overseas Filipino Workers and their hard-earned boxes? While smuggled goods and fake rice from China and thrash coming from Canada were brought in to our country without you knowing?
You said that they are the "new heroes" of our poor country and yet it is they whom you put stricter measures; not the bigtime smugglers nor the Chinese illegal traders?
Our country will not further to progress if you are attacking small fishes instead of the big ones. Graft and corruption will always hamper our grwoth.
To Commissioner Alberto Lina and President Aquino, is this what you call "Tuwid na daan" (straight path to progress)??
WE ARE WATCHING.
