NPC officials met with representatives of government agencies, which cybersecurity company VPNMentor earlier identified as having been affected by the alleged data breach.
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine National Police has “requested for time to validate and review its systems for possible security compromise” after it was “highlighted in [a] report alleging the data leak,” the National Privacy Commission said on Thursday, April 20., which cybersecurity company VPNMentor earlier identified as having been affected by the alleged data breach.
PNP Anti-Cyber Crime Group chief Sidney Hernia as saying, “We cannot categorically say at this time that there was a leaked applicants data,” and that they were “still conducting vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.” “The recent allegations of a data breach involving law enforcement agencies in the country should serve as a reminder that no organization, not even the government, is immune to the threat of cyberattacks,” NPC Commissioner John Henry Naga said.
