It has been stated that the NBI also are in the ‘good lead’ in identifying the hackers, stated by Ronald Aguto Jr, chief of the cybercrime division of the National Bureau of Investigation. He stated, “We were hoping that in the next few days, we’ll be able to identify, arrest, and charge the persons responsible,”
