MANILA, Philippines- Pinahusay ng Philippine National Police ang cybersecurity at registration accessibility ng Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) nito kasunod ng cyberattack noong 2024.
Noong May 2024, iniulat ng PNP ang breach sa logistics, data, information, at management system nito.
Pagsapit ng Hulyo, nadakip ng National Bureau of Investigation ang dalawang suspek na natuklasang hawak ang personal information ng 300,000 PNP members, kasama ang datos mula sa Philippine Navy hinggil sa West Philippine Sea.
“The upgraded system now boasts robust security features, including anti-malware protection, web reputation monitoring, activity tracking, device control, a web application firewall (WAF), intrusion prevention, and two-factor authentication (2FA) via Google Authenticator and email verification,” pahayag ni PNP Chief Police General Rommel Marbil.
Kabilang din sa improved system ng FEO ang “SIM card-based client credentials, regional kiosk installations, integration with the National Police Clearance system, a user-friendly mobile app, additional e-payment gateways, an expanded notification system, a unified database, and an improved system interface.”
“We want firearm licensing and registration to be both secure and accessible. By harnessing technology, we are making government transactions faster, safer, and more convenient for the people we serve,” ani Marbil. RNT/SA
