Over 28 million Filipino passport holders could have their personal data compromised as the Department of Foreign Affairs is yet to install a robust cybersecurity system, a ranking official said on Thursday.
“We are really concerned with the security of our more than 28 million passport holders’ data,” Cruz was quoted saying in a GMA News report. “It is something we really want to protect.” He also said the DFA is currently unhappy with how passport printing is being handled by the state-owned APO Production Unit, which is under the direct supervision of the Office of the President through the Presidential Communications Office.
In response to these concerns, Cruz said the DFA is actively negotiating with several cybersecurity firms to implement a more reliable protection system to secure passport data at reasonable costs for the government.
