Kasi nangyari ho ito Friday, nagkaroon tayo ng report, finallow-up ng DICT,&quot; said DICT Spokesperson Assistant Secretary Renato &quot;Aboy&quot; Paraiso. &quot;Nakita naman ho natin sa dark web na talagang may mga data from Jollibee na nandoon na sa dark web.&quot;</p><p>This is not the first time that a Philippine company or agency has been subjected to hacking.

So iyon ho ang difference ho siguro ng mga sanctioned at unsanctioned na ano, puwede naman hong i-test iyan in a safe environment,&quot; he added.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/6/21/it-officer-arrested-for-allegedly-hacking-gov-t-bank-websites-1309">READ: IT officer arrested for allegedly hacking gov’t, bank websites</a></div><p>Data breaches, especially of sensitive personal information increase the risk of identity theft and of falling victim to scams.</p><p>Health maintenance organization (HMO) Maxicare last week also reported a data breach through a third-party homeware provider. </p><p>The breach affected around 13,000 Maxicare members. <strong>-- with Pia Gutierrez, ABS-CBN News</strong></p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO</strong></div><div><strong><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k47w1H2eYSc?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></strong><br/></div>
