Defining the News

The Department of Information and Communications Technology said it is planning to talk with e-wallet companies to remove all auto payment functions amid reports of possible scams.

Dy said there is nothing wrong if the e-wallet is linked to legitimate apps. However, users sometimes link their e-wallets to sites that may not be legitimate or trusted. “Cybersecurity is a priority of this government. It is just unfortunate we had several cybersecurity issues,” he added. During yesterday’s Global Pilipinas, Digital Festival held at the agency, DICT Secretary John Ivan Uy said the cyber technology industry within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is now worth $1 trillion.

“We, the leading social media platforms, advocates and partners of Digital Pilipinas join the DICT in the pledge to raise public awareness about cybersecurity threats and how to combat challenges in the cyberspace, and to create a digitally safer Philippines for Filipinos.”
