DMW ADVISORY
As a result of a ransomware attack on DMW online systems, the Department through its Management Information Technology System had to take pre-emptive measures to protect OFW data and information, such as taking the systems offline. While efforts to restore online systems are ongoing, electronic or online systems that issue OECs/OFW Passes and OFW information sheets and other online services may not be used temporarily.
Rest assured, DMW databases containing OFW data were not affected by the attack, and that the DMW is currently working with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to restore online systems and ensure continued protection of the data and information of OFWs.
The DMW has activated the following systems and processes to deliver services to OFWs:
For OFWs securing OECs/OFW Pass, they may proceed to the DMW National Office, Regional Offices and extensions, One-stop Shops, and Migrant Workers Assistance Centers for manual processing of their OECs/OFW Pass.
For OFWs securing their information sheets, they do not have to go to any DMW office. They may send their request for information sheets at infosheet@dmw.gov.ph and the DMW will send their QR-coded information sheets directly to the requesting worker. OFWs may send their requests via the DMW Facebook page messenger (https://web.facebook.com/dmw.gov.ph).
The DMW is coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and airport authorities to facilitate the smooth departure of OFWs.
The DMW apologizes for inconveniences to the OFWs and members of their families and is exerting all efforts to continue serving OFWs while instituting stronger measures to protect their information.
