'If these are operating from third countries that are a safe haven for them, hindi po natin mapi-pin down iyon,' DICT chief Ivan John Uy said.
MANILA — It may be difficult to run after the criminals behind the malware attack on the Philippine Health Insurance Corp., according to the secretary of Department of Information and Communications Technology.
"adalasan po ay it's a group effort. Sindikato po or state sponsored, hindi po natin alam iyan. That is part of our investigation."The DICT also urged the public not to click on links promising access to the leaked data since these may be being used as bait by syndicates."Iyong mga curious: 'Naku, andyan ba iyong pangalan ko sa listahan na iyan? Andito iyong listahan at puwede natin i-download.' Naka-embed ngayon iyong back door," Uy warned.
"Ang sistema ng PhilHealth ay medyo luma na at may iba diyan — bago nila ma-transact iyong data ninyo, iyong work stations kailangan ng download ng information mo from the server. So, may workstations po na na-kompromiso, so maaaring doon mangggaling ang leak — kung mayroon man — na data ng miyembro," Uy said.
Confidential funds, which are meant for surveillance activities, are subject to audit but are closed to public scrutiny because of national security considerations.
