Unknown Operator Appears to Have Pulled Philippine Migrant Worker Data Backups
An unknown operator appears to have copied SQL Server backups from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration in under half an hour, according to one outlet's report.
What the report says
According to a report from one outlet, backup files from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration's SQL Server environment were apparently copied out by an unidentified party. The transfer is said to have taken less than thirty minutes.
The account rests on the reporting of a single outlet, and the available facts do not go beyond that claim.
Open questions
- Who is behind the suspected data removal?
- Which records do the copied backups contain?
