Over the weekend, there were reports that over two hundred thousand computer systems in 150 countries have been affected by the “WannaCry” ransomware cyber-attack.  The malicious software reportedly hit a few global telecommunications providers as well.

We wish to assure our customers that Globe Telecom is currently not affected by the cyber-attack.  Our Security Operations Center has so far been successful in averting over 900 malware attempts.  Globe has invested in top of the line information security to protect valuable customer data and information technology systems against malware, believing that in the Digital Age, information security has never been more vital and relevant.

We have enhanced our controls to further strengthen our defense even as we continue to be vigilant in detecting any form of cyber attacks and other cyber threats.  – Globe Chief Technology and Information Officer Gil Genio.
