The National Intelligence Coordinating Agency on Tuesday confirmed that China-backed hacking groups are "operating or targeting" the Philippines, including the government. NICA Deputy Director General Ashley Acedillo stated this at the last Senate hearing into the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators when Senator Risa Hontiveros was verifying information that the Philippines is a victim country of espionage activities through cybercrime.
""Why are they called advanced persistent threats? They are differentiated from the normal individual hackers or the disorganized or non-sophisticated hackers because of their resources, the personnel that they have, and the sophisticated skills that they possess. So much so that they are believed to be largely state-trained or state-sponsored or state-backed," the NICA official explained.
