CICC identifies hackers in government data breach - Philstar.com
Cybersecurity officials have identified some of the hackers involved in a massive wave of data breaches that targeted 23 national government agencies and other institutions.
The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center is conducting a case-buildup on the hackers in collaboration with the National Bureau of Investigation, according to CICC executive director Renato Paraiso.
“There are those whose real-world identities we now know and, together with the NBI, we are building up our evidence to hold these individuals and groups accountable for the wrongs they have committed,”
Paraiso did not reveal the names of the hackers but said they have an idea on the true identity of one of the threat actors known as Klammer, who is said to be connected with DeathNote Hackers International.
Klammer's role questioned
Paraiso said they have narrowed down the names to several people who could be Klammer, whom the official claimed poses as a key figure among hackers.
“We do not see any credible exploit carried out by him against our government,”
However, he said Klammer is just a spokesman and a conduit for different hacking groups.
