Ph: 42 million people possibly affected by 2023 Philippine Health Insurance cyberattack

NPC disclosed that about 42 million individuals may have been impacted by the 2023 PhilHealth breach, where the Medusa ransomware gang claimed responsibility, demanded $300,000, and exposed sensitive datasets (e.g., patient medical records, member and billing files). The government declined to pay and created a portal for citizens to verify if their information was leaked.
