DICT nakatutok sa PhilHealth hackers na humihingi ng $300,000 ransom | Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Kinumpirma ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) na may impormasyon na ito tungkol sa grupong nasa likod ng cyber attack sa PhilHealth nitong Biyernes.

Binanggit ni DICT Undersecretary Jeffrey Dy na kilala na ng ahensya ang nasa likod ng pag-hack ng impormasyon ng PhilHealth at ang nagdedemanda ng ransom kapalit nito.

“Do we know the group? Yes. Do we know the [advanced persistent threat], modus operandi? Do we have an international intelligence that says where they operate? Yes,” sabi ni Dy sa programang "The Source" ng CNN nitong Martes.

Sa kabila nito, binanggit din ni Dy na hindi pa ito sapat upang magsampa ng kaso dahil hindi pa nila kilala ang totoong pangalan ng mga kasangkot dito.

“Is that enough to file charges against certain people? Not yet. We don’t even know the real identity behind the group,” sabi ni Dy.

“[But] we have evidences, we performed forensics… We even know where they are putting the files.”

Pinuri rin ng DICT ang naging tugon ng PhilHealth sa cyber attack sa pamamagitan ng pag-turn off sa online access at sa coordination nito sa National Computer Emergency ng DICT.

“Based on our investigations, Philhealth database remains intact… It is accesible internally not externally due to the containment measures we put in place,” sabi ni Dy.

Nagbabala ang DICT na maaaring gamitin ng hackers ang mga nakuhang impormasyon para sindakin ang publiko at makuha nila ang hinihinging ransom.

“Their modus opperandi is that if they cannot force the victim, they will force the public… They will create panic, they will want the public to be the ones to lobby Philheath and the government to pay the ransom.
