The Philippines government has claimed to have busted a cyber-crime gang operating out of the Philippines. Two Indian citizens, and a blind Filipino cracker are amongst those arrested.
Narvasa explained that the gang’s operation came to light following complaints from multinational companies in the country who were surprised at the huge overseas telephone bills their firms have incurred.
The officials said that since most of the calls were made to India and Pakistan, they are still investigating the possibility that the syndicates have links with international terrorist organizations.
He added that since the syndicate used a subscribers PABX system to make the overseas calls, it might lead to the suspicion that the purpose is not only to avoid paying telephone charges but also to hide the identities as well as their foreign correspondents.
