00:00Meanwhile, beware of job openings to become a driver.
00:04Three Filipinos were driven by vehicles with gadgets
00:09that were able to get information from the cellphones in the vehicle.
00:14They were arrested and two Chinese were ordered to do so because they were spying.
00:20Ian Cruz was arrested.
00:22The NBI Special Task Force and Cybercrime Division in Manila
00:25blocked this vehicle being driven by a Filipino.
00:29The vehicle was driven by a catcher of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity or IMSI
00:35which is a so-called fake cell tower.
00:37Aside from the number, the IMSI catcher was able to get all the information of a cellphone
00:43that was being used for spying.
00:46It captures IMSI numbers, track location, intercept metadata
00:54and exploit network vulnerabilities.
01:01Okay?
01:03They are going around our installations,
01:09camps, government installations.
01:14And if they get close to that place, they will be able to get information,
01:22text messages, telephone numbers near the area.
01:26It's that dangerous.
01:28Many received texts from what they thought were legitimate companies
01:35or legitimate organizations
01:37but those are coming from the IMSI catcher.
01:40Because what it does is, when it is in a place,
01:43it will absorb the data, numbers and messages from a cellphone that is close to it.
01:52For now, two IMSI vehicles are being held by the authorities.
01:56Two Chinese and three Filipinos are being driven by these vehicles.
02:00The separatists who were arrested in Tondo and Malate in Manila and Bulacan
02:05were arrested and charged with spying.
02:08The NBI and AFP were involved in the operation.
02:11When they passed by Camp Aguinaldo, which is based on our intelligence,
02:17they saw someone entering there.
02:19The flow of data, the incoming and outgoing data from that area,
02:24which is Camp Aguinaldo, was basically intercepted.
02:28According to one of the three Filipinos,
02:30they are being paid P3,000 per day for driving
02:33and the IMSI catcher is telling them where to go.
02:37They don't know anything about the operation.
02:39I don't know anything.
02:41They just taught me how to drive.
02:44Two of the IMSI catchers who were arrested in Tondo by the Chinese,
02:48Ni Qinwei and Zheng Wei in Malate, Manila,
02:52Ms. Rao Ni Qinwei is the one who spied on the IMSI catcher in the Tondo unit.
02:58Why were you arrested?
03:00All alive.
03:01According to the AFP,
03:03be alert to those who are receiving work from far away,
03:07especially if there are devices in the vehicle they are driving.
03:11If someone is hiring us,
03:13and you see gadgets like this,
03:16and you are to drive that,
03:18maybe we should ask.
03:19It's not just the job we need to look for,
03:21but also the protection of our security.
03:24The possible origin of the Chinese spies who were previously arrested
03:28is also being investigated.
03:32For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz.
