LOCAL CASE

DATE HAPPENED:

May 2006

THE VIOLATION:

A 22-year-old former call center agent faces imprisonment after pleading guilty to charges of hacking into
his company's system to steal credit card information.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CASE:

According to a resolution filed by State Prosecutor Geronimo Sy, Abiera was able to break into the
computer system of the credit card company affiliated with his former employer Sitel Philippines. Abiera
was able to gain access to a database maintained by Sitel's sister firm in the United States and, using an
internal IP address, proceeded to purchase goods online using various credit cards. The orders were
made using a single IP address, which was traced by the NBI to Sitel's U.S. office. Sitel's local office is
located at the Eastwood Cyberzone in Libis, Quezon City. The NBI later on conducted an entrapment
operation on the third delivery, which led to Abiera's arrest.

RESOLUTION OF THE COURT:

Jeffric Carlos Abiera was sentenced Thursday by the Quezon City metropolitan court to a minimum
imprisonment of one to two years plus a fine of P100,000 ($5,858) in violation of section 33 of the E-
Commerce Law.
