B. Actions to be Taken
CERT-PH recommends the following actions be taken:
- Administrators are urged to apply the necessary updates to mitigate from known security threats.
- Having a good backup of the system before patching is a good practice, in case there are anomalies and issues encountered.
- Having an anti-virus software and/or host-based detection tool running with the latest version is a must.
- Proactively monitor and secure identified systems and devices for any suspicious/malicious activities.
- In addition, providing and capacitating employees with cybersecurity knowledge and information to minimize the attack surface.
- For additional information, kindly refer to the official report:
