MANILA, Philippines — Two Nigerians and three others were arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for allegedly being behind the “Mark Nagoyo” bank hacking that affected more than 700 clients of BDO Unibank. ADVERTISEMENTThe NBI on Friday said the five suspects were arrested in two different entrapment operations conducted by operatives of the NBI-Cybercrime Division in Pampanga. The NBI said Taupa was the alleged mastermind of the operation while Panaligan and Clay Revillosa were involved in the BDO hacking as web developers and downloaders. According to the NBI, the suspects were involved in the BDO hacking last December where more than 700 of BDO’s clients lost funds in their accounts. The NBI said the suspects were able to access bank accounts and made the fund transfers while supposedly bypassing the One-Time-Pin requirement.
