Alleged Data Breach Hits DICT Vaccine Administration System, 32,000 Records Exposed
A group calling itself Quantum Security Group has claimed responsibility for an alleged data breach targeting the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Vaccine Administration System (VAS). In a statement posted on an underground forum, the group claimed that more than 32,000 citizens’ records were compromised.
The Vaccine Administration System was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to digitally manage the country’s vaccination program. The platform was intended to centralize vaccination records, monitor vaccine distribution, and track immunization progress nationwide. Given its purpose, the system holds large volumes of personal and health-related information.
In their post, Quantum Security Group alleged that the breach was not the result of a simple technical oversight but of negligence, corruption, and systemic failures within the government’s digital infrastructure. “This breach is no accident — it is the direct result of incompetence, greed, and the absence of accountability,” the group stated.
While the full extent of the breach remains unclear, records stored in the Vaccine Administration System could potentially include:
• Full names of vaccine recipients
• Contact details such as addresses, phone numbers, and emails
• Birthdates and demographic information
• Vaccination details (type of vaccine received, dates, and locations)
• Possibly government-issued identification numbers linked to the vaccination program.
The DICT has not yet issued an official statement regarding the alleged incident. If confirmed, the exposure of vaccination records would raise serious concerns over citizens’ privacy, identity theft risks, and misuse of sensitive health information.
