The Philippine Health Insurance (PhilHealth) Corporation on Wednesday said they would notify their members who have compromised data after they analyze the information uploaded by hackers.
PhilHealth earlier admitted its outdated cybersecurity system enabled hackers to gain access to employees' work stations, which they use to download data, create policies, presentations, and research.
Rey Baleña, acting vice president of PhilHealth's corporate affairs group, said the state insurer is waiting for the Department of Information and Communications Technology to give them a copy of the files. "Wala kaming capacity at expertise na gawin ito. Kapag naibigay na sa atin itong mga files na na-download nila, makakapagsimula na kami ng aming analysis — sino-sino ang mga miyembro na nakompromiso at nang sa gayon ay magawa na namin ang pag-reach out at pag-notify sa mga miyembro na nakompromiso," he said.
