The Department of Information and Communications Technology on Friday denied that there was a data breach on the government’s one-stop mobile application. “The Department of Information and Communications Technology , through its National Computer Emergency Response Team and the eGov Development Team, reports that the eGovPH App remains secure and that the alleged data exfiltration of a threat actor is a hoax,” the department said in a statement.

“According to the post, the actor was able to gain root access, bypassing security protocols and accessing KYC IDs in the eGovPH database. The individual claims they have dumped and are ready to sell approximately 200,000 IDs,” it added. The eGovPH is a single platform where the public can access their digital government IDs and conduct transactions with the government. But the DICT affirmed that the mobile application is safe and no threats were found.
