00:00The Department of Information and Communications Technology says a Chinese Advanced Persistent
00:06Threat, or APT, is behind the cyberattacks on the Philippine Coast Guard's websites.
00:11APTs work quietly on long-term cyberespionage campaigns to acquire data on targets of interest.
00:18DICT Undersecretary Jeffrey Ian Deese says there have been reports that Chinese actors
00:23are actively acting on a certain government's online site.
00:27Deese says the tactics, techniques, and procedures are very, very similar to APT41, which is
00:33a Chinese group.
00:35But Deese clarifies the group behind the cyberattack is not the Chinese government.
00:39In 2016, network security firm FireEye said Philippine organizations were twice as likely
00:45to face an advanced cyberattack compared to the worldwide average.
