And it seems that the Philippines can't really get out of anything about gambling as it was reported that there were hacks in the PAGCOR database. Initially though it was reported that it's the players in every casino.

But now they said that those hack accounts are those who have been ban or requested for self-inclusion.

However, this is still a hack no matter how they try to cover what kind of data has been lost to the criminals.
I think that what the people in charge should is to quickly send out an email to every casino user and let them know of what happened and a contingency plan that has already been put in place. If this is not done as soon as possible, many of these gamblers will call them out and sue them if their data is used for some illegal purpose. Once again, this emphasizes the importance of these casinos to also do a test cybersecurity test to check how good they are and how they will behave if this type of situation occurs. But now it has happened and they need to act as fast as possible to get things under control before it gets out of hand.
