They’ve been at it for years.

“On Wednesday, August 13, three teams from the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) nabbed two female and seven male hackers in separate areas in Luzon for hacking American telecommunication company AT&T, causing a U$24-million loss from the company and its clients since 2011,” reports Julliane Love d‎e Jesus on Inquirer.net.

There were three minors in the group.

The report noted that the adults arrested were identified as the following:

Rosendo Catungal and Lani Diaz in Tondo, Manila

Rommie Mondido in Longos, Malabon

Elmer and Liezel Feolog ‎in Valenzuela City

Allan Villacrusis in Angono, Rizal

Meanwhile, the three minor suspects have been turned over to the Department of Social Welfare and Development ‎(DSWD).

The report also added that “the operation came after the AT&T’s Global Fraud Management Organization manager Mark Zmigrodski filed a complaint seeking police investigation on the illegal activity.”
