DPWH Website Defaced by “Quantum Security Group,” Accuses Officials of Corruption and Fake Flood Control Projects
The official website of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was defaced by a group identifying itself as the “Quantum Security Group”, claiming responsibility for the cyberattack and accusing several DPWH officials of corruption, fake projects, and endangering public safety.
The defacement appeared on two separate DPWH pages, including the main defacement link and a sub-page, where the group posted a manifesto titled “NO MORE GHOST PROJECTS. NO MORE STOLEN LIVES.”
The statement accused DPWH of widespread corruption, focusing on alleged “ghost projects,” falsified flood control initiatives, and fake inspections. It further condemned what it described as years of negligence leading to billions of pesos lost and countless lives put at risk due to substandard infrastructure.
The defacement message stated:
“Fake flood control projects reported as ‘completed’ while streets and barangays remain submerged. Overpriced materials and falsified inspections, compromising safety for profit.”
The post also named several individuals allegedly linked to corruption, including both former and current DPWH personnel, regional engineers, and even senators accused of receiving kickbacks. However, the identities mentioned in the defacement remain unverified, and no official confirmation has been issued regarding the validity of the claims.
The group concluded their message with a call for public accountability: “The Filipino people deserve honest governance, transparency, and accountability. No more excuses. No more paper projects. No more lives sacrificed for the greed of a few.”
At the bottom of the page, the hackers left a warning that the attack was not for vengeance but for “justice to be restored,” writing: “Justice is not vengeance. It is balance restored. We will keep demanding until the truth is built — brick by brick.”
As of this writing, the defaced pages remain visible on the DPWH website, and no official statement has yet been released by the Department of Public Works and Highways regarding the breach or any potential data compromise.
