Globe Telecom has started blocking text messages that contain website links to intensify efforts versus text scams.
Before implementing this measure, what we were doing was blocking access to malicious links in text messages to help protect customers. This time around, we're blocking the actual message. If the SMS has a link of any kind, we are not going to deliver it, period. This is necessary to protect our customers, said Globe Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio.
The Globe executive also said this reflects the group's commitment to contributing to the Philippines' economic recovery"by ensuring that the accelerated digital adoption does not expose customers to worsening cyber threats."
