MANILA, Philippines – The official website of the University of Santo Tomas Museum of Arts and Sciences was hacked by a suspected Chinese group apparently in protest against ties between the Philippines and Vietnam.
The hackers, who identified themselves as “1937CN Team” condemned Philippines and Vietnam's opposition against what they called as "China's territorial inviolability."
The cyber attack occurred two weeks after the agreement of the strategic partnership between the Philippines and Vietnam regarding claims over disputed waters on the West Philippine Sea.

Visitors of the website were welcomed by a bold message on its interface: “F**k Vietnam Philippines Joint Action.”
It also added a hashtag “#Op China Action is IGNORANCE!”
The hackers claimed that the cyber attack is a warning from their group.
The vandalized website also contained defaced images of flags of the Philippines and Vietnam.
"South China Sea is China’s inherent territory," the hackers claimed.
The site's attackers also wrote a few apparently against the United States and Japan.
UST officials have yet to release a statement on the hacking incident.
