87% OF FILIPINO INTERNET USERS HAVE
BEEN VICTIMS OF CYBERCRIMESDOJ


MANILA, Philippines Almost 9 out of 10 Filipino Internet users
have been victimized by cybercrime or a malicious activity on the
Internet at one time or another, the Department of Justice (DOJ)
primer on facts and trends about cybercrimes committed in the
country, said on Tuesday.
The primer on Philippine cybercrime has been prepared by the DOJ
as part of its advocacy program to prevent abuses in cyberspace as
the legality of the new law against cybercrime is being deliberated in
the Supreme Court.
In October 2012, the implementation of the new Cyber-crime
Prevention Act of 2012 was suspended by the high tribunal for four
months until Feb.6 following 15 petitions seeking for the law to be
declared unconstitutional wholly or partially. The high court is set to
hear on Jan.15 oral arguments on the law that became controversial
because of its provisions that included the criminalization of online
libel.


In the three-page primer presented in a question and
answer format, the DOJ said that cybercrime has
become one of the fastest growing crimes globally.
In the Philippines, the primer quoted a 2010 report of
the security software firm Symantec that as many as 87
percent of Filipino internet users (nearly nine out of 10)
were identified as victims of crimes and malicious
activities committed online. These included being
victimized in activities such as malware (virus and
Trojan) invasion; online or phishing scams; sexual
predation; and services in social networking site like
Facebook and Twitter.
From 2003 to 2012, the Anti-Transnational Crime
Division (ATCD) of the Criminal Investigation and
Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippine National Police
(PNP) looked into 2,778 referred cases of
computer crimes from government agencies and private
individuals nationwide.

HOW TO PREVENT CYBERCRIME
1. Keep your computer current with the latest
patches and updates.
2. Make sure your computer is configured securely.
3. Choose strong passwords and keep them safe.
4. Protect your computer with security software.
5. Protect your personal information.
