Government investigators on Thursday presented three persons behind a series of cyberattacks on government online resources, including the Philippine Navy's database.

According to the report during the press conference of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the three, identified by their internet handles "Newbiexhacker," "Haxinja," and "D4rkJ1n," were arrested in operations in Tagaytay, Cavite; Quezon City; and Makati City last week.

NBI Director Jaime Santiago said after Newbiexhacker's arrest in Tagaytay on July 8, 2024, he yielded a file that was code-protected and contained sensitive information that was stolen from the database of the Philippine Navy. Newbiexhacker said the data was sent to him by Haxinja, who also has the access code for the said data.

The NBI-Cybercrime Division (NBI-CCD) contacted Haxinja who confirmed that he has in his possession the passcode to access a Philippine Navy file. The Management Information Technology System is now working closely with the DICT to enhance the DMW’s anti-virus and other security measures, and with the cyber security law enforcement to track the hackers.

Hackers are deadly. They might leak the data hacked by them and sell them to a company interested in the same business.

Maybe if they are well punished, others will see this and learn not to be like this as well? Anyways thank God they where caught.

The hackers are now in jail and awaiting their verdict from the court. May they rot in jail. Hoping they regretted but seemed not.

That's a good one. They should be thrown into jail. As they did the crime , they should also do the time

There were people behind the hacking and that is what the NBI wants to know. They could be from the oppositions.
