There is no escaping a fully digital world, but our government is struggling to understand the basics of cybersecurity… so, it can’t properly regulate the private sector and it can’t adequately protect its own databases.
Last week, PhilHealth was hacked and our personal data files have been compromised. Then, it was most embarrassing that our national security agency or NICA was also hacked and some of our military secrets are now being sold on the dark web.
Dy told Teleradyo Serbisyo: “We responded to more than 3,000 events or cybersecurity issues nationwide, mula January hanggang August. Pero ang mga tao namin puro mga job order.” Job order staff do not have security of tenure, are paid less, and do not have mandatory benefits. They are probably also not the best qualified or why would they agree to a job order arrangement.
It is simple negligence that PhilHealth didn’t have cyber protection software when hackers attacked its computers, giving criminals access to the data of millions of us. Medusa demanded a $300,000 ransom for stolen data. “We can do a lot more to help protect the data that will come out of PhilSys processing. You can do your part in it as well as ‘hackers ng bayan’… Your country needs you more than ever,” Liboro told local hackers.For example, Sen.
Or maybe we can admit that at this point, given how chaotic our government is being managed, it will be better to outsource the storage of critical government data to reputable providers of cloud storage services. Back to government handling of data… last December, the US Defense Department awarded contracts to four technology companies to provide services in support of its Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability. The four companies include Amazon Web Services Inc., Google Support Services LLC, Microsoft Corp., and Oracle.
