    What is Cybercrime?

    Cybercrimes are defined as: Offenses that are committed against individuals or groups of
    individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause
    physical or mental harm to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication
    networks such as internet (Chat rooms, emails, notice boards and groups) and mobile phones
    (SMS/MMS).

    The Department of Justice Categorizes computer crime in three ways:


    The computer as a target attacking the computers of others (spreading viruses is an
    example).
    The computer as a weapon using computer to commit traditional crime that we see in the
    physical world (such as fraud or illegal gambling).
    The computer as an accessory using a computer as a fancy filing cabinet to store illegal or
    stolen information.
    What is the Cybercrime Law in the Philippines?
    The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012,officially recorded as Republic Act no. 10175, is a
    law in the Philippines approved in September 12, 2012. It aims to address legal issues
    concerning online interactions and the internet in the Philippines. Among the cybercrime
    offenses included in the bill are cybersquatting, cybersex, child pornography, identity theft, illegal
    access to data and libel.

    While hailed for penalizing illegal acts done via the internet that were not covered by old laws,
    the act has been criticized for its provision on criminalizing libel, which is perceived to be a
    curtailment in FREEEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
    The cybercrime Prevention Act in its current form is the product of House Bill No. 5808,
    authored by Representative Susan Yap-Sulit of the second district of tarlac and 36 other coauthors, and Senate Bill No. 2976, proposed by Senator Edgardo Angara.
