Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista haharap sa kasong Criminal raps over massive data

The National Privacy Commission is recommending criminal charges against Commission on Elections Chairman J. Andres D. Bautista for the data breach that saw personal data of 1.3 million overseas Filipino voters, including their passport information, as well as fingerprints of 15.8 million people leaked on the Internet.

In its decision dated December 28, 2016, the NPC said it found the Comelec guilty of several violations of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 for the data leak that occurred between 20 and 27 of March last year.
A group claiming to be Anonymous Philippines earlier defaced the Comelec's website, demanding that the poll body implement the security features of the vote-counting machines for the May 9, 2016 elections.
