The Department of Education (DepEd) is investigating a potential hacking of its systems on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
In a Viber message, the department emphasized that there is currently no confirmed report as verification is "ongoing."
However, due to this report, DepEd has "instructed the field offices to run diagnostics and verify if there was indeed a hack,” DepEd Undersecretary and Spokesperson Michael Poa said.
The department also clarified that they are collaborating with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to address the situation.
“We will provide information as soon as we get them from our Regional and Division Information Officers,” Poa added.
