MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Information and Communications Technology will discuss with the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Committee its engagement with cybercrime watchdog ScamWatch Philippines in view of the revelation of a hacker that one of its convenors, Manila Bulletin technology editor Art Samaniego, was behind the hacking of government websites.

“We’ll discuss that with the CICC,” Dy told The STAR in an interview on the sidelines of the Cybersecurity Forum, spearheaded by think tank Stratbase-Albert del Rosario Institute, at the Peninsula Manila in Makati City yesterday. The DICT official, however, noted that the suspected hacker arrested by the NBI had named Samaniego directly and in front of news cameras as the one who ordered the hack on government and private organizations’ websites.

ICT Undersecretary and CICC executive director Alexander Ramos has declined to comment on the hackers’ allegation of Samaniego’s masterminding of the hacking operations.
