Philker,Also known as philippine hackers, A computer hacker group claimed to be reponsible of several high profile attacks including the hacking of the official website of the Vice President of the Philippines Jejomar Binay .They are a group of Filipino Hackers who were in constant watched over the vulnerability of different Philippine websites, especially those who are belonging to the Philppine government. Last June 13, 2011 Philker hackers attacked one of the Philippine government agencies in-charged of overseeing the nuclear activities of the country. The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute was victimized by the Filipino hackers Philker. Another attacked was staged by Philker to the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippine government, the agency was tasked of overseeing the food and drugs safety in the Philippines.
Philippine internet security officers were acknowledging the group as one of the few individuals who were concerned in terms of cyber security. According to some security experts, although they considered it as illegal but it was helpful to help solved the growing needs of awareness regarding cyber attacks.
The group alleged that they are merely "protecting the country's cyberspace" yet under the Computer Misuse Act of 1990 in the United Kingdom, "unauthorized access even to expose vulnerabilities for the benefit of many is not legal." As Struan Robertson puts it, "There’s no defense in our hacking laws that your behavior is for the greater good. Even if it’s what you believe." Philker group also hinted at future break-ins in other sites, leaving behind a note similar to the international hacktivist group Anonymous. They described themselves as a "group of Philippine hackers that possess skills in the areas of cyber security, visual graphics, and human manipulation."
their leader n1trob said that their aims to point out and correct the vulnerabilities of Philippine websites to protect them from unethical hackers, fraud, false propaganda and other people with malicious intent."
