MANILA - Only the identification cards of employees of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. have been leaked online so far, following a cyberattack using Medusa ransomware on the state insurer’s system, the agency’s spokesperson said Tuesday.
Dr. Israel Francis Pargas, in an interview with ANC’s Top Story, maintained that “membership data, financial data and claims data” remained safe and intact. “There are work stations wherein the computers of our employees were involved or hacked and I think some of data that were gotten by these hackers were from these. So that is why some of those data being shown, like personal ID of our employees, are being shown. And so, we are actually providing a notice to the public that in cases that there are information that will be shown or that will be given out, that please inform us already so that we can do something about it,” Pargas said.
