The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) eGov Development Team are advising cybersecurity enthusiasts to exercise caution when reviewing data breach information on the Breach Forums, as highlighted by the recent fake eGovPH hack post.
CICC Executive Director Alexander K. Ramos revealed that the alleged eGovPH data breach in the Breach Forums is nothing more than a fake hacking claim.
“The Breach Forums user named GR3GGM3RC3R we are investigating who claimed to hack the eGovPH app is a scammer and not a real hacker. He's attempting to defraud forum members by falsely claiming possession of sensitive data,” Ramos said.
DICT Undersecretary for E-Government David Almirol, who heads the development of the eGovPH app, assured the public that the eGovPH app is fortified with multiple security measures, guaranteeing its safety.
