"Among the groups supporting the cybercrime bill are the Philippine Certified Information Systems Security Professionals of the Philippines (PH-CISSP), the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), the Philippine Software Industry Association (PSIA), the Philippine Computer Society (PCS) and the Information Systems Security Society of the Philippines (ISSSP), said Albert dela Cruz, director of the Philippine Computer Emergency Response Team (PH-CERT) and currently platform strategy manager at Microsoft Philippines, in an interview"
[hmm, microsoft supported..]
"As you know we've been at it for more than seven years or even longer. I've lost count. We never made it past plenary of the House of Representatives. Now, with the DOJ and renewed support from the CICT, we hope that they make this a priority measure," he added."
[seven years? there must be a reason]
"For years, various sectors have been lobbying for a cybercrime law in the country. Dela Cruz said the cybercrime bill aims strengthen and align the country's laws on cyber security and protection, while also creating international cooperation among other countries considering that cybercrime is a global phenomenon"
[I thought the E-commerce law was supposed to cover cybercrime (Section 3.3)]
""We want to be part of the Europen Union Cybercrime Treaty. To effectively combat cybercrime across borders and jurisdiction a common law (similar laws individually) or a treaty needs to be in place. And to be able to sign the treaty, we have to pass a bill that is in consonance with the prescription of the treaty," Dela Cruz added"
[Ah ok, so the law we passed is not good enough :) ]
Tuta nga ba?
