This was revealed by DICT Undersecretary Jeffrey Ian Dy during last Wednesday’s hearing of the House committee on information technology, on the “massive data breach” in some government agencies.
Dy said the DICT was able to thwart the hacking attempt as part of the agency’s Project SONAR or Secure Online Network Assessment and Response System, which was launched in December 2023.
In Project SONAR, DICT looks into government agencies’ systems to determine their “vulnerabilities.”
Dy noted that in DENR, they “detected and defended” a possible “Cobalt strike (C&C) connection” by “Deep Panda APT (Advance Persistent Threat) group.”
“This is the same group that is responsible for February incidents where we did note some Chinese – potentially those coming from that country – attempted to attack our government mail systems,” he added.
