Hackers attacked the website of the World Wildlife Fund's Philippine chapter early Wednesday, replacing the home page with a YouTube video.

Visitors to the WWF Philippines site saw a video and a message that suggested a connection with an attack on the Bureau of Customs website.

"This country is run by mahou shoujo... Powered by: Contract; Puella Magi Madoka Magica Squad," read the message.

No malware appeared to attempt to download or execute in the defaced page.

Also, there was no message from the hacker on his or her intent in defacing the page.

The "mahou shoujo" was the same anime referred to in the page of a hacker who defaced the Bureau of Customs website earlier this month.

Last June 15, the Customs website fell victim to a hacker who defaced its news section.

A web address left by the hacker in the Customs website attack led to an "anonymous text hosting service."

The supposed hacker's page also contained what appeared to be usernames and passwords taken from websites the hacker had "visited."

Earlier, Malacañang said the security of government website may be reviewed soon, a day after a "Filipino" hacker group hinted at more attacks on Philippine government websites.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda indicated National Security Adviser Cesar Garcia is studying creating a task force to do the review.
