00:00 The government will teach the interested in information technology to fight against scammers and hackers in the country.
00:09 That's right because there are millions of jobs in cybersecurity and the salary will reach up to P100,000.
00:17 Here's the first news.
00:26 The president said that it's a joke that someone called him and he won't deny how serious the scamming problem is.
00:32 That's why DICT reminded us to fight against clicking on the links sent by unknown numbers and against the allocations "too good to be true" or the announcement "you won" in an unauthorized raffle.
00:44 Also be careful with those who share on social media that they are taking information.
00:49 So when someone calls you, they already know your name, your birthdate, and your address. Don't be misled. You need to be alert.
00:56 Sometimes, the ability of the Filipino online has become notorious.
00:59 The so-called "I love you virus" or "love bug" that was discovered by the 24-year-old Onel de Guzman spread to millions of computers and affected businesses and governments around the world in 2000.
01:11 Instead of fighting the virus, the Filipinos are so obsessed with information technology that they want to fight against the scammer attackers.
01:20 DICT-ICT Academy will hold online courses for government officials first, but later on, for the public.
01:28 We opened up a completely new window of employment that they can go into and earn a lot of money, better than the college.
01:37 Sir, how much money are we talking about when you said bigger than cam sec salaries?
01:41 Well, many of the cybersecurity, I know, maybe a low of 200,000 a month.
01:48 That's right, because there are 2 million job openings for cybersecurity experts in the country.
01:53 Many businesses have moved online since the pandemic, so the government has also moved online, which is not a waste of money for scams.
02:01 These employers, they're not after your diploma.
02:05 Once they see that you have talent, even if you're just a grade school graduate, not a high school graduate, they won't hire you.
02:11 The practice of cybersecurity in the hands of government and private individuals, as part of the National Cybersecurity Plan, was approved by DICT by President Bongbong Marcos Itong-Martez.
02:21 Aside from online scammers, hackers are also being targeted in government agencies, as part of the Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration of OWA and the President's website.
02:32 According to servers in China, it was found that China did not approve it and it sought help in the investigation, according to DICT.
02:41 Despite this, DICT does not rule out that hackers are involved in the scams in the West Philippine Sea.
02:47 Anything is possible. In cyber investigations and in analyzing all of this, we'd never rule out anything.
02:55 ...series of attempts to hack government websites.
