: Behind the Screen: Ten Years of Stories from the Dark Web

Date Published: September 26, 2025

“You think this is disturbing? This is nothing compared to what’s on the dark web.”

That single YouTube comment was the spark that changed Eric Pudalov’s life. What began as a late-night curiosity while watching a disturbing film turned into a ten-year journey into the dark web.

Through Tor, Eric found not only the myths and horror stories that first lured him in but also real communities, privacy tools, and lessons about censorship and anonymity.

As the writer behind Secrets of the Dark, he spent years documenting his findings, separating fact from fiction, and educating others about the realities of the hidden internet.

In this exclusive interview, Eric opens up about how it all started, why he kept going for a decade, and what the dark web really looks like from behind the screen.

: A group calling itself Quantum Security Group has claimed responsibility for an alleged data breach targeting the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Vaccine Administration System (VAS). In a statement posted on an underground forum, the group claimed that more than 32,000 citizens’ records were compromised.

In their post, Quantum Security Group alleged that the breach was not the result of a simple technical oversight but of negligence, corruption, and systemic failures within the government’s digital infrastructure. “This breach is no accident — it is the direct result of incompetence, greed, and the absence of accountability,” the group stated.

The DICT has not yet issued an official statement regarding the alleged incident.

: Deep Web Konek (DWK) has documented at least 50 cyberattacks between September 20 to 23 as of this writing, coinciding with nationwide protests calling for accountability and transparency in government agencies. The incidents included widespread defacements of local government websites, coordinated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on national portals.

Our monitoring team reported that more than 30 government websites were defaced during the protest period. The attacks hit multiple LGUs in Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, and Laguna, as well as education and infrastructure offices such as DepEd Region IX, DepEd Pagadian, and the Department of Public Works and Highways. Other affected entities included the Kalayaan Water District and the BJMP ORAJ system.

DWK also received reports of sustained DDoS attacks, some lasting more than an hour, against several national websites. The affected domains included the Office of the President, the government’s DNS registry, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Board of Investments (BOI), the DICT’s Free Public Wi-Fi project, the Freedom of Information (FOI) portal, the Department of Agriculture (DA), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the Bureau of Customs (BOC).

: The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Online Recruitment Application for Jail Officer, was defaced earlier today by a group calling themselves Deathnote Hackers. Visitors to the site were met with a black background featuring the group’s logo, along with a lengthy statement condemning government corruption, particularly in relation to alleged irregularities in the country’s flood control program.

The hackers accused officials of pouring billions of pesos into ghost projects, padded contracts, and overpriced materials while citizens continue to suffer from severe flooding. The defacement also referenced the September 21 anti-corruption protest, claiming that a man was fatally shot during the demonstration. The group alleged that the shooting involved police officers, further criticizing what they called “repression disguised as law enforcement.”

“This is the government’s language: steal when you can, lie when you’re caught, and shoot when people resist,” the hackers wrote in their manifesto, equating corruption to a “flood” that has plagued the nation for decades.

The BJMP has yet to release an official statement regarding the defacement, and it remains unclear whether any sensitive data was compromised.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE ALLEGED DATA BREACH IN SDO MASBATE

For the Information of Everyone.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE ALLEGED DATA BREACH IN SDO MASBATE

22/09/2025

: Several government and local government unit (LGU) websites were defaced on Monday by hacktivists identifying themselves as “L00tz x Slashie.” The attackers left behind a protest message criticizing large-scale “flood control” projects, which they described as land grabs and environmentally destructive developments that endanger communities.

Among the affected websites were those belonging to the Provincial Government of Zamboanga Sibugay, the Office of the Secretary of Zamboanga del Sur, and several municipalities in Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur, including Piñan, Siayan, and Molave. The coordinated defacement was also seen on other LGU portals across the Zamboanga Peninsula.

The archived screenshots show the actors replacing homepage content with a manifesto denouncing so-called flood control projects. According to their message, these projects destroy mangroves and wetlands, threaten communities with displacement, and primarily serve the interests of private contractors.

The statement was signed under the aliases Klammer, Excommunicado, and Y4ph3t5, suggesting the involvement of multiple individuals under the banner of L00tz x Slashie.

𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐆𝐨𝐯 𝐏𝐇 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is aware of reports circulating online regarding an alleged data breach involving the eGov PH platform, with claims that more than 30,000 complainant records were exposed.

We wish to clarify and reassure the public that the eGov PH App itself was not hacked or compromised. The incident involves one of the many third-party systems integrated with eGov PH—the eComplaints system—which is managed separately from the eGov PH App’s core infrastructure.

At this time, there is no evidence of a data breach within the eGov PH App. All personal information stored within the eGov platform remains secure, encrypted, and protected by strict cybersecurity protocols in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and internationally recognized standards.

As part of our commitment to transparency and data protection, we will release updates as soon as more verified information becomes available.

The DICT remains steadfast in its mission to provide secure, reliable, and citizen-centric digital services. Safeguarding the privacy of Filipino citizens is our highest priority, and we will continue to strengthen our systems to prevent similar incidents in the future.

: Earlier today, our monitoring team confirmed receiving a report warning of a planned DDoS operation targeting government platforms. Soon after, multiple official websites began experiencing outages, slowdowns, and service disruptions.

Among the affected domains are the Philippine President’s official website, Commission on Higher Education, Board of Investments, DICT Free Public Wi-Fi, Philippine Veterans Affairs Office, Laguna Lake Development Authority, and several water district sites including Gennatividad, Lupao, Maramag, and Bongabon, as well as Caraga DepEd.

DWK noted that while the affected websites are intermittently accessible, users continue to encounter degraded performance and downtime.

Current indicators suggest that the attack started approximately 3 hours ago and is a coordinated effort employing high-volume traffic floods and application-layer disruptions, overwhelming servers and restricting public access.

No data breaches have been observed so far, with the attack focused primarily on denial-of-service to disrupt availability.

We will continue to monitor the ongoing campaign and provide updates as more information becomes available.

A coordinated wave of cyberattacks targeted multiple government websites on September 21, coinciding with nationwide rallies against flood control project anomalies.

The cyberattacks prompted swift action from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC).

According to DICT Secretary Henry Aguda, seven government agencies experienced breaches but were able to recover quickly.

"Maraming nag-attempt, we had 54,000 LGUs and 12,000 NGAs, and 7 lang ang nagkaroon ng breach pero na-recover agad nang mabilis," Aguda said.
