Leaked 'old files of AFP' still circulating on dark web: Brawner

MANILA — The chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Thursday said “old files” of the military leaked from a hacking incident in 2021 are still circulating on the dark web.

“When it comes to the cyber domain, obsolescence is very fast. Within six months, your brand-new equipment becomes obsolete with the new technology. Hackers are always looking for loopholes they could use to get into your system. We have to be alert and vigilant,” he added.The military chief said he intends to expand the AFP’s Cybersecurity Group, which is currently in charge of making sure the networks in the general headquarters are safe and secure.

“We are envisioning to add more equipment, more facilities to the Cyber Command. It will also provide command and control over all the cyber units we have in the AFP. We have islands, buckets of cybersecurity units… What we need is to integrate all of these efforts.”The AFP will also recruit “cyber warriors.”

Brawner said the Cybersecurity Command will not be used as a “troll farm” to target critics of the government.
