Several pieces of evidence linking the suspects to the hacking event were seized from them. According to Vic Lorenzo, chief of the NBI Cybercrime Division, they construct the account, fabricate the documents, and then aggregate the downloaded amounts from several downloaders, as well as provide the payoff.
“Ang involvement nila is to synchronize ‘yong movement ng members ng group. Ino-open nila ang account, sila ang nagpapa-falsify ng mga dokumento tapos ‘yong mga downloaded amounts o downloaded cash, sila ang nagko-consolidate from different downloaders at sila rin ang nagbibigay ng payoff,” Lorenzo said.
Another suspect who was in charge of downloading the money from the system was apprehended in Pasig City in a separate operation. Meanwhile, the fourth suspect, who designed the hacking computer software, was apprehended in Manila.
