“Rest assured, the Court has invested in cybersecurity for its data and will continue to do so as we digitalize our processes,” she said.

“All processes of the Court, including the bar exams, are secure,” she added.

Ting was referring to a report from cybersecurity group Deep Web Konek on Wednesday morning saying that a “significant security breach” hit the SC.

It said that the threat actor, identified as “grep,” claimed responsibility for the breach and leaked information such as details of individuals involved in legal matters, unique identifiers linked to legal cases and applications, and information related to the nature of the legal cases.

Ting said the SC will release a statement on this subject soon.
