Every week, we here new information of restrictions in Philippines. Is the situation that bad?
This is not about restrictions, such lists exist in all countries or at least should exist in all, probably there are some shithoes out there that don't give a damn about this, the only problem is that a list which should have been confidential has been leaked. One good thing is that the article talks only about names, not IDs, so if it's only the name, the whole thing is negligible, I mean, I don't think that in a country with 110 million people there are too many people that don't share both names with each other.
Do you not know that information on these sites are censored?
For there to be such a hack, then the attacker surely would aim for more and would be in possession of more than was reported. It would only take a little time before the full details of the hack is made public, that's if at all since the government would be secretly hunting down those responsible for the hack so they don't do much damage with the information they currently possess.
