The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has given assurance that the data information of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are safe following a ransomware attack, prompting the agency to shut down its online systems.
In an advisory posted on its social media pages, the DMW said that due to the attack, its Management Information Technology System had to take pre-emptive measures to protect overseas Filipino workers’ (OFW) data and information, such as taking the systems offline.
