Privacy body probes PhilHealth liability in ‘Medusa’ breach

after hackers began exposing data of the state health insurer on the dark web after failing to get US$300,000 in ransom payment.

On Tuesday, PhilHealth senior vice president and spokesman Israel Pargas said only the identification cards of some of their employees have been leaked online so far after the Medusa ransomware attack on their system. Santos said part of the NPC probe is to examine “whether or not there were appropriate technical, organizational, and physical security measures” to protect PhilHealth’s data system.

Amid the data leak, Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas is seeking a congressional investigation into the Sept. 22 Medusa ransomware attack. “We will await the final report of PhilHealth to guarantee that members’ records are not compromised,” she said.
