“It’s much better now. Our cybersecurity has improved. The ones being hacked are the old systems that were previously compromised. But the new ones we have now are really solid, with strong new platforms in place,” he told INQUIRER.net, referring to government websites that experienced hacking.

However, Almirol acknowledged the need to strengthen protections against potential threats.

“We should be more preventive, right? As you build systems, they should already be secure,” he said.
