PARA kay House Speaker Martin Romualdez, hindi dapat palampasin na lamang o isantabi ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) ang mga pag-atake na ginawa ng Chinese hackers sa iba’t-ibang government websites.
Hamon ni Romualdez sa DICT – labanan at tapusin ang aniya’y malinaw na banta sa gobyerno.
“Ang pag-atake sa ating mga sistema sa internet ay hindi lamang banta sa ating pamahalaan kundi pagnanakaw na rin sa ating sariling tahanan. Hindi natin ito dapat palampasin at kailangan nating labanan,” pangahas na pahayag ni Romualdez.
“In light of these alarming developments, I am calling on the DICT and other concerned agencies to conduct a thorough briefing for the House of Representatives. This briefing should focus on the nature and extent of these cyber-attacks, the current measures in place to prevent future incidents, and strategies for enhancing our cybersecurity infrastructure,” dagdag niya.
Ayon kay Speaker Romualdez, ang nasabing briefing ay maaaring gawin mismo sa Kamara sa lalong madaling panahon at pangungunahan ng House Committee on Public Information sa pamumuno ni Rep. Joboy Aquino, gayundin ng House Committee on Information and Communications Technology na pinamumunuan naman ni Rep. Toby Tiangco.
“I propose that this briefing be conducted in an open hearing … Transparency in this matter is crucial as it affects not just the integrity of our government’s digital infrastructure but also the safety and privacy of our citizens,” giit pa ng lider ng Kamara.
“Furthermore, this incident reminds us of the urgent need to strengthen our cybersecurity policies and protocols. We must ensure that our national cybersecurity strategies are robust enough to withstand such attacks and agile enough to adapt to the evolving digital landscape,” dagdag pa ng lider-kongresista.
Tiniyak naman ni Speaker Romualdez na handa ang Kamara na suportahan ang mga kinakailangang batas para palakasin ang cybersecurity at protektahan ang bansa laban sa international hackers.
