Mobile  phones in sensitive military zones banned

By J.Lo

“Device-free policy not only safeguards classified information, but also ensures  operational integrity of critical military infrastructure,”  Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has banned electronic devices in sensitive military environments as part of enhanced security measures aimed at protecting itself and critical information.

AFP announced  it is “implementing stringent device-free policy strategically designed to fortify  protection of classified information and critical infrastructure, ensuring robust defense against potential threats.”

Military is restricting  presence of electronic devices in sensitive environments, which “significantly reduces vulnerabilities to cyber espionage and unauthorized access.”

“AFP is dedicated to enhancing its capabilities and measures to confront traditional and non-traditional security challenges effectively,”  military said.

AFP has also called on public to be vigilant against disinformation campaigns aimed at eroding  public’s trust in the country’s military institution and government.

“These efforts seek to sow panic, divide our nation and distract us from pressing issues that demand our collective attention, in these trying times, it is crucial for every Filipino to remain vigilant and critical of  information they encounter and share,” AFP chief, Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., said.

AFP statement is apparently in reaction to online and social media pages that have been monitored to share wrong information using old photographs or altered content to misinform  public on defense related issues. 

Brawner said disinformation “not only distorts  truth but also undermines our unity, making us vulnerable to external challenges that threaten our national security and stability.”

He said  AFP urges public to verify sources and seek information from credible and official channels and stand together in the face of what he described as desperate attempts to spread discord.

Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) is taking seriously  reports on GCash data breach, CICC executive director Alexander Ramos said.

As  initial step, CICC officials led by Ramos met  with  executives of GCash,  largest mobile payments service, to shed light on  reported data breach.

Ramos,  met  GCash executives at  National Cybercrime hub in Bonifacio Global City,  wants  transparent assessment of reported data breach allegedly involving GCAsh.

“We take seriously  alleged data breach and have asked GCash to provide information on veracity of  contents being published or reported,” Ramos said.

Ramos also said GCash has reported  working round the clock to check  contents and committed to allow  deeper probe on alleged attack.
