Romeo Vera Cruz, the concurrent executive director and data privacy officer of the LTO reported the data breach to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) on November 10, 2020. The NPC said some netizens claimed that the data provided by the website were accurate and thus, suspicions of the LTO were raised. LTO has yet to clarify why Stradcom is still in operation and why they are allowed to be in the official website of the LTO. The Stradcom domain is the one connected to the current data breach. LTO has assured the NPC that they will cooperate regarding the investigation and plug the data leak immediately.
