#bpi incident

A reader has sent us a message, informing us that he has received an email from BPI but apparently turns out to be illegitimate. We've previously written about this same incident before wherein DOH's website was used to phished BPI cardholders by redirecting them to a part of DOH website and requiring them to put in sensitive information including credit card numbers and the three-digit CVV at the back. Just promptly send the email to BPI's email account ([email protected]) so they can look into it. BPI has an information drive to warn the public of such malicious intent. The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has issued a System Maintenance Advisory informing its clients that its ATMs, cash deposit machines (CDMs), POS terminals and online banking services, will be unavailable at certain times in the next few days. That changed though in 1983 when the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) implemented the first through the wall 24/7 Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in the country. BPI saw its potential and decided to make it services accessible through this medium. Although not yet available in most households during the time, BPI also saw the need that Filipinos will soon manage their funds via the internet in their homes or offices.
