PhilHealth says it is still determining if hackers were able to obtain members’ information.
— Hackers have begun exposing on the dark web some Philippine Health Insurance Corporation data — including details on employees — after failing to get ransom money from the government, an official confirmed on Tuesday.
“In terms of PII , we saw some IDs, pictures, which we cannot ascertain at the moment if they are Philhealth employees, or members,” the official wrote in a message. Earlier, the DICT said the cybercriminals have asked for $300,000 in exchange for handing over decryption keys, as well as deleting and not publishing the data they illegally obtained.Were members’ data compromised?
