The National Privacy Commission (NPC) is looking into "gaps" in the interface of the government's Freedom of Information website that may have caused the leak of data on users who requested documents from the website, one of the agency's commissioners said Saturday.

Columnist Wilson Chua earlier said the ID he used on government website www.foi.gov.ph was leaked and could now be searched online by using "eFOI ID."
The Department of Information and Communications Technology believes the data leak is an isolated case but it did not rule out the possibility that some officials may be held liable for the incident.

"We have websites even requiring old browsers IE7. Which is not a good, older tech easy to compromise, moving forward with time."
For now, the group advised users who may want to request information from the FOI portal to use other means.
