Acer Philippines confirms that a security incident has occurred with its third-party vendor responsible for managing employee attendance data, resulting in unauthorized access to a database containing specific employee information.

We want to assure everyone that our security checks confirm that there has been no breach or leak of any Acer Philippines Customer Database, and customer data remains unaffected by this incident.

It is crucial to emphasize that the attendance database run by a third-party vendor is entirely distinct from our customer databases.
