RAT found on PhilHealth data breach

One after the other, these malefactors in cyber space attacked the digital data we entrusted to government agencies as well as those in the private companies and even in educational institutions.

Demonstrating the ScamWatch Pilipinas App, De Guzman explained the public can now easily and directly access it online or by smartphone. By dialing the Hotline 1-3-2-6, the public can immediately report and complain about cyber scams and other digital crimes with just two-buttons click. As an anti-cyber crime advocates group, ScamWatch Pilipinas partnered with the government in the National Cyber Crime Hub Hotline 1-3-2-6.

Santos explained the NPC determines administrative lapses and sanctions and to also recommend criminal proceedings against individuals and entities as well as any government official found liable in the data breach. He noted these laws impose both a jail term of four years minimum and a payment of fine not less than P3 million.

With this looming “scam-demic,” the NPC cautioned the public not to download, or try to access the links of the purloined hacked digital materials, lest they be charged also with breach of Data Privacy Law. Worse, it could infect their mobile phones, computer system and other digital gadgets with RAT virus, or remote access Trojan as found in the PhilHealth data breach.LIST: Catch up with your best bud this month with these super buy 1 get 1 dealsLast chance for sulit deals!
