Authorities recovered huge amounts of sensitive information that included data from the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Navy from two hackers who were arrested in Tagaytay City. In John Consulta’s Thursday report on 24 Oras, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested suspects “Newbie” and “Godlike” after they tried to sell the personal information of thousands of cable subscribers in Tagaytay. Also found in their electronic devices were databases that contained personal information of 300,000 members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) as well as data from the Philippine Navy on the West Philippine Sea. The duo said they have been targeting government websites since 2013. “We are in the process of validating those claims. Pag lumabas ang aming forensic findings, magiging conclusive ang aming basis. That’s the time ipapatawag ang mga involved na government and private entities,” said National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) cybercrime chief Jeremy Lontoc. (We are in the process of validating those claims. Once our forensic findings are released, our basis will be conclusive. That’s the time we would call the involved government and private entities.) The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said it is coordinating with the NBI to verify the details of the data. According to one of the hackers, one of the databases that he acquired contains personal information on 300,000 members of the PNP. “May address, buong information, contact number, email (address). Nakita ko nandun yung firearms,” Newbie said.
