Cybersecurity threats in the Philippines intensified sharply in 2025, with phishing activity surging more than fourfold as criminal groups shift toward large-scale, organized fraud operations, according to a new threat landscape report released by Check Point Research.
In 1993, Gil Shwed, along with two friends, put up a network security venture they called Check Point. Now, the company is one of Israel's largest technology companies and the world's largest pure-play cybersecurity firm.
Israeli security firm Check Point informed TikTok developers of the vulnerabilities exposed in its research and a fix was deployed to ensure its users can safely continue using the TikTok app.
