00:00The NBI has already charged the three arrested humanoids with several government websites and several banks in the country.
00:08In 2016, the suspects of the humanoid members of a large group of hackers in the country started their activities.
00:16One of the arrested was replaced by the editor of a large newspaper on hacking incidents.
00:23This is Noel Talacay's story.
00:27A data officer from a large newspaper, a cybersecurity researcher of a company, and a graduating student.
00:37They are the three hackers who were arrested and presented by the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:44According to the NBI, the suspects visited several government agencies and banks
00:51such as the Philippine National Bank, Security Bank, Banco de Oro, and Union Bank.
00:57In 2016, the suspects started their hacking activities.
01:01They were part of a group called Global Security Hackers.
01:05One of them escaped and joined Pinoy Luluzek in 2019.
01:12A member of a large hacking group called Philippine Luluzek and Globalzek is another one.
01:19When they were in Pinoy Luluzek, they exploited the armed forces of the Philippines.
01:28They allegedly exploited the Philippine Army, the Philippine Navy, and even the National Security Council.
01:38One of the suspects, a five-year-old data security officer of Manila Bulletin,
01:44admitted to what he did and even taught his boss, an editor of Pahayagana.
01:51Yes, that would be Mr. Art Samaniego.
01:53Actually, I met Sir Art during Pinoy Luluzek days.
01:58So, I will send him details of my exploit, how I did the exploit.
02:05I will show him the POC or proof of concept so that he can prove that I did it.
02:12According to the NBI, their informant taught the suspects and caught them while eating in a hotel in Manila.
02:20According to the NBI, two out of five suspects were involved in a large scamming activity.
02:27The NBI called for their strong support in their evidence against the suspects.
02:36They will not be retracted because the video was covered while they were giving a statement with the lawyer there.
02:45Meanwhile, the armed forces of the Philippines were involved in online fraud and being responsible in the digital space.
02:54They also supported the actions of the government against cyber threats.
02:59They filed a complaint under the Cyber Crime Prevention Act of 2012 and Data Privacy Act of 2012 against the suspects.
