MANILA, Philippines – Two suspected hackers were arrested in buy-bust operations in Quezon City, police said.
The suspects, Joseph Calderon and Rodel Ancheta, were allegedly involved in illegally re-activating Globe WiMax modems.
Calderon was first arrested inside a fastfood restaurant along Quirino Avenue on May 15.
Ancheta, on the other hand, was caught while re-activating the modem of a poseur customer on Litex Road, Brgy. Commonwealth.
Authorities said the two suspects charge P5,000 for the modems that come with unlimited internet use.
"Mahirap mabisto ang naturang modus kaya't nagpanggap na bibili ng reactivated internet broadband ang isang pulis sa suspek na nahuli sa isang buy- bust operation," said National Capital Region Police Office Director Leonardo Espina.
The suspects will face charges for violating Republic Act 8484 (Access Device Act), Republic Act 8792 (E-commerce Act), and the Presidential Decree 1612 (Anti- fencing Law) with a fine of P24, 000 to P100,000 punishable by imprisonment of 6 years or more with no probation.
Globe sought the help of police after noticing a decline in sales.
"Ipagpatuloy natin ang pagtutulungan upang maaresto ang ibang sangkot sa mga iligal na gawain katulad nito at hindi natin sila hahayaang makapangbiktima ng iba pang mga kumpanya," said Espina. -- Report from Gus Abelgas, ABS-CBN News
