Direction: In no less than three (3) sentences, analyze the given scenario and assess the committed
cybercrime offenses by answering the guide questions.
Scenario: A 20-year-old Information Technology (IT) graduate Paul Loui Biteng faced charges after the Manila City prosecutor’s office
found probable cause to file charges against him for allegedly hacking into the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) website. On April
25, 2016, Chief Inquest Prosecutor Atty. Jovencio Senados said there was enough evidence against Biteng for several violations of the
cybercrime prevention law. On April 20, 2016, Biteng admitted to defacing the COMELEC website last March but denied NBI’s accusation
of being part of a group of hackers leading to the leakage of a large portion of the COMELEC's database, including voters' personal
identity information. The incident is labeled “the biggest private data leak in Philippine history,” exposing the personal information of 55
million Filipino voters.
