MANILA, Philippines – Philippine authorities have arrested 8 Koreans allegedly involved in the cloning of credit cards, and other related cybercrimes, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said on Tuesday, October 21.
The NBI said the group was busted during a raid on a call center office in Quezon City late Monday night.
The NBI Reaction Arrest and Interdiction Division (NBI-RAID) arrested Oh Seung Hwan, Eom Jeong Hwan, Jang Juhyun, Jeon Min Su, Yoon Young Jin, Seo In Jae, Kim Ki Hwan, and Cho Myeong Il.
The raid stemmed from information from the Korean community that the foreign tenants were allegedly involved in hacking, credit card cloning, and other cyber-related crimes, according to a report submitted to NBI director Virgilio Mendez.
The suspects, who reportedly cloned credit cards to buy, and then sell, items online, were placed under surveillance for two months prior to the raid.
Authorities also confiscated several laptops and computers from the suspects. – Rappler.com
