Telco network PLDT has warned its customers about the rising incidents of unauthorized modem collection by fake PLDT personnel in some areas of the country, particularly Pangasinan and other parts of Central Luzon.
PLDT, quoting a report by Romanian cybersecurity technology company Bitdefender, said hackers will go after employees 99% of the time by employing social engineering to coax their victims into revealing their personal information.
Having seen no irregularities by external probe, PLDT said it is attributing the overrun solely on the huge expenses it incurred for big-ticket projects and costly 5G equipment.
Telco giant PLDT said it is aiming to breach the petabit-level (1,000 terabits) in international capacity, as it invests in more strategic international subsea cables in the next five years.
After two years, PLDT Enterprise recently held the Philippine Digital Convention (PH Digicon) face-to-face at the Marriott Grand Ballroom with a simultaneous broadcast online.
Being the regulator of the securities market, the SEC said it is concerned about the reported “budget overruns,” as well as the selloff in PLDT shares before the publicly listed company could make the official disclosure.
Today is the right time for enterprises to leverage on the opportunities of the post-pandemic world, according to PLDT president and CEO Alfredo “Al” Panlilio during the official press conference for the upcoming 8th iteration of the Philippine Digital Convention.
PLDT has set a Nov. 4 deadline for its local competitor Dito Telecommunity to pay its P430-million “unpaid contractual obligation”. Otherwise, the telco giant said it will suspend or terminate its services to the Dennis Uy-owned operator.
According to PLDT Global president and CEO Albert Villa-Real, the hyperscale business is a game-changing opportunity not just in the Philippines, but on a global scale.
