MANILA, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- A South Korean national and a Filipino suspect were arrested by police on Friday for hacking the system of a local telecommunication company which caused the firm to lose 3.4 million pesos (83,568 U.S. dollars).
Leonardo Espina, director of the National Capital Region Police Office, identified the suspects as Yooun Nayong, 37 and Carlo Dadulla, 21.
Police raided the house of Nayong and Dadulla in Mandaluyong City in Metro Manila, the Philippines' capital region.
