endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 11) — The National Bureau of Investigation said it would launch a crackdown on persons behind the hacking of the Philippine government's main website. NBI Cybercrime Division chief Victor Lorenzo on Thursday assured that the agency will arrest individuals involved in a distributed denial-of-service attack on the national government's main portal www.gov.ph. The intention was to overwhelm the site with so much traffic that it would crash. "There was a massive cyber-attack in 2012 on government websites and we addressed this by arresting a very notorious hacker…This will be our approach also," Lorenzo said during a Palace briefing.
