The Supreme Court has issued guidelines directing all courts, judiciary offices, Justices, judges, court officials, and employees to observe strict security protocols, remain vigilant in identifying and reporting suspicious cyber activities, and adopt a set of guidelines on the observance of proper cyber hygiene.
Acting Chief Justice Marvic Leonen signed Administrative Order No. 150-2023 to minimize the incident of cyber threats, ordering the judiciary not to open unknown links sent in email; practice routine changing of passwords, and report suspicious activities.
“Judiciary employees should be cautious when sharing their personal information online and they should only use applications from trusted sources,” said Leonen.
“Additionally, Judiciary employees should read the privacy policy of any application before using it and should be aware of how their data will be used. By taking these precautions, Judiciary employees can help protect themselves from potential privacy and security risks,” he added.
Earlier, systems of government agencies and the website of the House of Representatives have been hacked.
