GCash has announced that it has intensified its security measures. GCash is removing clickable links in official emails and text messages sent to customers followed by an aggressive information campaign that users will no longer receive messages from GCash that contain website links. These come on the heels of the National Telecommunications Commission’s (NTC) order to block links in text messages which is seen as a significant deterrent against scammers. "These changes are in line with our own #SafeWithGCash campaign that aims to ramp up investments, partnerships, as well as educational and awareness programs on keeping our services safe and secure for our 69 million users,” said Martha Sazon, President and Chief Executive Officer of GCash. The country's top telcos, Globe Telecom and Smart Communications, recently passed NTC's Quality of Service (Qos) Benchmarking Tests for the second quarter of this year. According to NTC's results, Globe improved to 1.46% from 2.6% (lower is better) while Smart fell back a bit at 1.26% from 0.87%. "Based on the grade of service, both parties passed the less than or equal to four percent (4%) performance standard of the Commission, meaning no more than four blocked calls is allowed for every 100 call attempts," said NTC. "The network performance measurement equipment of Globe generates network quality KPIs and more extensive drive tests done by Globe, including the NTC drive test routes, showed a major difference from the latest NTC test results.
