EMBEDDED MALWARE WARNING!

PLDT and Smart urge internet users to protect themselves against malwares that have been embedded in legitimate websites.

- 

PLDT and Smart's Cyber Security Operations Group (CSOG) says that even without the user's knowledge, these malicious codes can initiate the download of harmful files in a 'drive-by download' attack.

"Once downloaded, these malwares exploit the vulnerabilities of your device, allowing cybercriminals to steal your personal data, create disruptions, or take control of your credentials, warned Angel Redoble, FVP and chief information security officer of PLDT and Smart.
