Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes.
Hackers could affect next year's Philippine Computerized Presidential Election by using keyloggers, phishing messages or hacking. They has the potential to cause material damage to a candidate in the process of an election.
I have come to the conclusion that in our country, automating the elections is no guarantee if we are exposed to hacker who may manipulate the elections. I would suggest that Commission on Election (COMELEC) should undergo on IT Security Training so as to safeguard our votes. Here, IT Professional will provide innovative and effective solutions to our polls. The IT Security Training should have the following:
-Security Fundamentals
-Ethical Hacking
-Penetration Testing
-Computer Forensics
-Disaster Recovery
-Secure Programming
Our single vote can be a voice, just like in America, but how can we know if our vote counts? For now, nobody knows the answer to our problems but i can assure if this training gives important to our government now.

Hi! Roy,
got ur blogaddress from ur sister shieangel. I know her in the forum WOF. I have just started my blog and have to learn many things, pa gyud. She told me to visit ur blog. Nice blog!
Elections in the Phils will be computerized? I think it is not a good idea. I've casted my vote last week for the new Members of Parliamentary in Europe. We used pens and not computers. Many years ago, Holland used computers during elections but because of what u said about hackers, etc. they stopped using them. I hope that Phils is aware of the big consequences using computers. It costs a lot of money to have all computers installed and the outcome is a big question (reliable or not).
