These past few days, social media has been frenzied yet again over what seemingly are free seat promotions for PAL’s supposed ’83rd Anniversary Sale’ which phishes information by prompting visitors to key in confidential and sensitive information. This isn’t the first time the national carrier has been used for phishing as there was a similar incident back in May 2017.
PAL, which started operations in 1941, is currently on their 77th year this 2018.
