The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), the government's health insurance program for all Filipinos, was hit by a ransomware attack today, September 22, 2023. PhilHealth has over 113 million members as of September 2023. This includes both direct and indirect contributors.
Jeffrey Ian Dy, Undersecretary for Connectivity, Cybersecurity, and Upskilling at the Department of Information and Communications Technology , confirmed the attack, saying the agency was aware of it as early as 9 am. He said that the initial assessment was that it was a Medusa ransomware attack. The Medusa ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key.
Dy also said that as part of a more extensive solution, the Philippines is joining the Counter Ransomware Initiative with the US, Australia, and other countries. He said the government has already recommended joining the initiative to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
