MANILA, Philippines – Sen. Ralph Recto on Sunday called on the executive department to hire “bored” Filipino information technology experts as “cyber-commandos” who will improve and ensure cybersecurity of the government websites.
Recto seeks to hire Filipino IT experts as white hackers or what Techopedia describe as computer security specialists who break into protected systems and networks to test and assess their security with permission from their employers. These hackers expose the vulnerabilities of the website before the malicious hackers or black hat hackers detect them and exploit them.
The senator, sponsor of the Congress-approved bill on forming the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), issued the appeal after the National Bureau of Investigation arrested the 23-year-old Information Technology fresh graduate, Paul Biteng, responsible for defacing the website of the Commission on Elections. Biteng claimed he hacked the website out of boredom. For the full article click here
