A public resource tracking cybersecurity incidents affecting Philippine schools. Because student data deserves better protection.
Schools hold some of the most sensitive data imaginable — children's personal information, family details, medical records. Yet most Philippine schools lack the resources and awareness to protect this data. This tracker exists to raise awareness and drive change.
Most schools don't know breaches are happening in Philippine education. Visibility is the first step to action.
By tracking incidents, we identify common attack vectors and vulnerabilities so schools can prioritize defenses.
Every breach listed here includes lessons learned. We want schools to learn from others' mistakes, not their own.
Free tools and educational resources to assess your school's security posture and build a culture of data protection.
