The Globe websites hacked include mybusiness.globe.com.ph, payroll.globe-csme.com, duointernational.globe-csme.com, and update.globe-csme.com.

The hackers posted an image with "Dear Globe, your service on your internet connection is not worthy what we pay for. Do something or expect the consequence. This is just the beginning. Expect Us!" message.

It added the "all your data belong to us now!" threat.

In a statement, Yoly Crisanto, Head of Globe Corporate Communications, said that no critical customer data have been compromised as the alleged data the hackers gathered were not stored in the affected websites.

Crisanto added that those websites are used for marketing and advertising purposes only and are not connected to any of the private internal customer systems.

Currently, all four websites are still down and cannot be reached. Globe's main page, globe.com.ph is up and unaffected by the hack.

Globe assured that they are now addressing the insure to properly manage the incident.

Local telcos are often criticized for having one of the slowest internet connections at home. The latest data from Ookla revealed that the Philippines is ranked number 121/139 for Mobile and 110/174 for Fixed Broadband internet in the world.

Globe is committed to spending a record-high capital expenditures budget of PHP 63 billion this year for network upgrades.

In the next few weeks, the telco giant will launch its 5G mobile services.
