00:00 Just from the wordings alone, it includes defacement of the website of the proper threat

00:09 because it was in Tagalog.

00:11 So we highly suspect that these are local threat actors.

00:14 But again, we ask the understanding of the public if we can actually abolish the names of these persons

00:22 because of questions about national security.

00:26 And then, because in other places, data breach, you get data.

00:31 How about here in the House of Representatives?

00:33 Do you get data from that website?

00:36 Well, initially, we only saw that there was a defacement of the website,

00:41 that there were alterations in the logs, alterations in the subdatas of the website.

00:46 We're still conducting a thorough investigation because of the defacement of the website.

00:53 If there was any extraction of any data, any sensitive data, any scientific data

00:58 from the House of Representatives website.

01:00 We're still looking into the motives.

01:02 When we know, when you suspect someone of doing this, we try to find out their motives as well.

01:09 But again, we can only see that there is a bandwagon effect,

01:13 that the others are just being a nuisance to the public because they are just following the rules.

01:21 There are INC's that are close to the public to help assess the integrity and security level of their systems.

01:34 While others on the other side of the spectrum, there are INC's that are just following the rules.

01:40 And they are not usually present in the incidents that happen to their computer systems.
