The SIM Card Registration Act in the Philippines aims to combat cybercrimes and scams by requiring SIM card registration. While it enhances public safety, it also raises privacy concerns:
Data Security
Vulnerability to Breaches: Centralized databases are attractive hacker targets, risking identity theft or fraud.
Compliance with Laws: While the Data Privacy Act mandates protections, past breaches like the 2016 Comelec incident show that no system is foolproof.
How to Mitigate Risks:
- Robust Cybersecurity: Companies and regulators must ensure encrypted databases and conduct regular audits.
- Transparent Oversight: Clear rules on access and penalties for violations are crucial.
- Public Awareness: Inform users of their rights and how their data is safeguarded.
