According to the hackers’ statement, the stolen data includes Summary of Information (SOI) records of 10,000 active and separated soldiers from 2018 to 2024. The leaked information reportedly contains:
1. Full names, ranks, and serial numbers

3. Past and present military assignments
4. Training records, certifications, and promotions

On their Facebook post, they leaked screenshots of compromised military email accounts and internal system settings indicate a severe security lapse within the Philippine Army’s IT infrastructure.
The threat actors emphasized that this breach exposes the complete failure of Philippine military cybersecurity, warning that if local hackers could achieve such an infiltration, foreign state-sponsored threat actors from China, Russia, or North Korea could potentially do far worse.
The group further mocked the government’s cybersecurity defenses, calling them “nonexistent” and stating that the breach was “total OWNAGE.” They claim to possess thousands of additional files and are prepared to release more data.
While the hacking group has made claims about the extent of the breach, there is currently no independent verification of the exact volume of data stolen.
This breach poses a national security threat, as the stolen information could be exploited for espionage, blackmail, or targeted attacks against military personnel. The Philippine Army has yet to release an official statement regarding the breach.
Deep Web Konek will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
