00:00 Who will forget the I Love You virus that spread in 2000?
00:06 This virus has affected millions of computer systems around the world.
00:12 According to Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary John Ivan Uy,
00:17 it would have been stopped if the public was aware of the dangers in cyberspace earlier.
00:24 That's why the DICT has now launched an awareness campaign.
00:28 Cybercriminals have become more vigilant.
00:31 According to the DICT, they will present the National Cybersecurity Plan 2024-2028
00:38 to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:41 We landed in the world stage back in 2000 with the I Love You virus.
00:46 So Filipinos are naturally romantic.
00:49 And we just need to warn everybody to watch out against clicking baits or phishing attempts.
01:02 The government agencies will also help in this plan
01:06 to find ways to respond to cyberattacks against the country's cybersecurity.
01:11 The government continues to tighten its protection of the country's cybersecurity infrastructure,
01:16 according to President Marcos' directive.
01:18 Since, even before we came into office,
01:24 we've been monitoring regular probing, regular threats coming from all sectors,
01:33 from criminal organizations and many threat actors in the world.
01:40 So we take those things very seriously.
01:44 And we actually have built up more competencies in detecting early on
01:58 any of those attempts to hack into not just government systems but also private corporations.
02:07 But this is not just the work of the DICT, but all agencies and Filipinos.
02:13 The government has set up a secret public to visit the DICT's online platforms
02:18 to learn about new ways to avoid online scams.
02:23 Some government agencies are attacking cybercriminals
02:27 like the Philippine Coast Guard and President Marcos' private website.
02:32 And the initial investigation found that the hackers are based in China.
02:37 But the DICT doesn't want to give the hacker a lead.
02:40 Based on our initial investigation, is the recent attempt of hacking based in China?
02:48 Do we have or can we get help from China to help us prosecute them?
02:52 Yes, actually, they have reached out to us if we can do some cooperation.
03:01 Because it's actually both ways.
03:06 Cooperation has to come as a mutual activity.
03:14 So they are willing to help.
03:18 The government also has a hack ban on other scams
03:22 that the public receives on their social media applications.
03:25 Many of them are from what we call OTT, over-the-top providers.
03:33 So they send it via Telegram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and so on.
03:38 NTC together with law enforcement are going after many of these equipment
03:47 that are unregistered, that are smuggled in, and confiscating them.
03:53 But we need to work with the Bureau of Customs to find out how those equipment can be accessed.
04:00 Meanwhile, DICT also has a job opening for cyber security professionals.
04:05 In accordance with President Marcos' directive,
04:08 DICT has generated more than 50 million digital IDs
04:12 with the cooperation of the Philippine Statistics Authority and PhilSys.
