Resecurity and other analysts report a large uptick in coordinated cyberattacks against the Philippines—composed of hack-and-leak (55%), DDoS (10%), and misinformation/influence campaigns (35%)—targeting government (80%) and educational (20%) entities; investigators trace attacker infrastructure to China and Vietnam, suspect nation-state-backed actors (China and possibly North Korea), and note confirmed breaches and prior APT activity (including Mustang Panda and a PhilHealth ransomware incident).
