Health Secretary Ted Herbosa on Tuesday said he had created an investigating committee to look into the PhilHealth officials' possible negligence over the recent cyberattack in their website.
MANILA — Health Secretary Ted Herbosa on Tuesday said he has created an investigating committee to look into potential negligence by Philippine Health Insurance Corp. officials in the cyberattack that exposed the data of millions of PhilHealth members.
"I think part of the problem was the antivirus was not updated and plus they cited many other instances in the past — the delayed publication for the dialysis, et cetera," he said during a Palace briefing. The Commission on Elections earlier approved Herbosa's request after the PhilHealth board allegedly expressed “loss of confidence” in eight of its ExeCom members.
