INAMIN ng pamunuan ng Facebook na aabot sa 50 milyong account ng Facebook users ang apektado ng hacking.
Sinabi naman ni Privacy Commissioner Raymund Enriquez Liboro na inaalam pa ng pamunuan ng Facebook kung gaano karaming Pinoy users ang apektado ng hacking.
“At around 12:49 AM of September 28, we received informal notice from Facebook representatives that they had found a vulnerability in their app that was exploited by malicious attackers. Facebook claims that the vulnerability affected around fifty million users, exposing personal data stored in their Facebook profiles,” sabi ni Libtoro.
Idinagdag ni Liboro na patuloy ang imbestigasyon ng Facebook.
“According to the company’s representatives, the investigation is still in its early stages. They have not determined yet how many Filipinos are affected and whether misuse of personal information had resulted from this breach. The NPC has prescribed breach management procedures in place and we expect Facebook to abide by these rules,” ayon pa kay Liboro.
Tiniyak naman ng NPC na ipapaalam sa publiko ang iba pang aksyon hingg dito.
“The NPC shall notify the public about developments and its actions on this matter. To protect themselves, all Facebook users must enable multi-factor authentication on all platforms, employ strong passwords, and practice good digital hygiene.
