MANILA - Mobile wallet service provider GCash has upgraded privacy protection for its users by censoring their personal information in its send money service. In a statement on Thursday, GCash chief information security officer Mark Frogoso said the update is an added layer of customer protection as the recipient's name in the send money service was previously visible for "convenience" and to help verify the intended recipient. Frogoso said there has been no data breach or leak in GCash's systems and that the "data integrity" of the company's roughly 66 million users remains intact.
