The Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has coordinated with Banco de Oro (BDO) and Union Bank of the Philippines (UBP) to return money to BDO account owners that were hacked.

“The BSP has been monitoring the surge in complaints posted in social media platforms since the early part of this week. We are in close coordination with BDO as well as UBP on this incident to ensure that remedial measures are being undertaken, including reimbursement of affected consumers,” BSP Gov.
