Hackers breached anew the information technology systems of the Department of Science and Technology, hitting its Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development last Thursday.

The DOST also issued advisories on social media to inform the public that their affected systems – PCIEERD website, Project Management Information System, PCIEERD Evaluation System and Capsule Proposal System – might not always be available from April 26 to May 2.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary shutdown may cause,” the agency said in the advisory. “Tama yan, wag nyong tularan ibang gov.ph website na tinutulugan lang yung vulnerabilities nila. Kudos sa inyo DOST-PCIEERD ,” the post read. For only P399: Elevate your skincare routine with your favorite serum brands at Watsons' Online Sale on April 26
