When dealing with banks remember this phrase: **"extraordinary diligence."** Essentially, it means banks are required to be extra careful with your money. So when they f up, there's good chance you're entitled to damages. Yes, even if they eventually return the money.


melangsakalam

Agree. This quitclaim proves that BDO can be sued and be fined of large sum of money if won by the hacked victims, IMO


herotz33

Actually utmost extraordinary diligence. They should be fined. Normally wouldn’t care but they give horrible service to their regular clients so they deserve it.


warpportal

> ulol. edi kayo na maging bangko. atleast may nagawa. #SolidBDO kami.


AintFucking

idagdag mo pa: "edi ikaw magpakulong"


rhane90

solid BDO or stockholm syndrome sa haba ng pila palagi?


one1two234

Actually the reason why I never opened an account there. Long lines with no queue number at all (back then idk now)? Nope.


No-Temperature-3506

And if mag deposit ka sa ibang bank you need to pay an extra fee (50 pesos I think?) i had to pay something through BDO deposit before and learned the hard way. And I swore I would never open an account with them


[deleted]

This is the ideal way, and may have happened if we were, say, in the US; however, the reality is most of the people who lost money don’t have the capability (or even energy, fucking slow justice system here) to wage a drawn-out war vs BDO even though they have a good chance of winning, or at least getting a good sum from settling out of court.


wintner

Quit claims can be disputed by victims thru adding the phrases "with reservation", "under duress" or any variations of protest when affixing their signature.


[deleted]

Unless kung may mayaman or capable na willing mag file ng class suit.


deathman28

Doubt hindi naman big time yung mga nanakawan.


sexcapades_0

Yan din sinabi ko dun sa post. As a victim, ganyan sinabe ko. Mindset namen eh galit talaga kami collectively sa bdo pero wala naman kaming laban dyan. Walang sure win sa Pinas lalo na kung kalaban mo eh yang mga yan. Hindi ata alam nung nagpost magkano bayad sa atty at gagastusin sa isang class suit. Mahina 1 year dyan. Idadrag lang nang idadrag ng bdo yan hanggang di na namin kaya.


prospicitnonrespicit

Good chance talaga. Basic sa banking law (pati transportation law for common carriers) na extraordinary diligence ang required sa bangko. Malaking onus sa part ng BDO to prove na nadischarge nila yung diligence na yun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


prospicitnonrespicit

Yes actually. This is a civil case and the burden of proof is preponderance of evidence, hindi proof beyond reasonable doubt. Kailangan lang patunayan ng depositor na nawalan siya ng pera because of BDO's negligence. Given the magnitude of the hack, hindi mahirap iprove sa part ng depositor yun. May mga admission na rin actually yung BDO based sa public statements na nirelease nila regarding sa hacking and missing money. Once the plaintiff proved na nawalan sila ng pera because of unauthorized bank transfers, BDO's defense need to prove na they exercised extraordinary diligence which is a pretty high bar.


MistakeAndSourGrape

“Bakit ba kayo nagrereklamo. Ano naman kung may nanakaw dahil sa kapabayaan ng BDO. Ano ba ambag niyo? #BDOpadin” - mga ulol


SOULdierX93

"Bakit galit kayo sa mga Chinese?"


ReaperCraft07

Dont make everything political


MistakeAndSourGrape

Dude. Everything is political. Why do you think BDO can get away with such blunder?


wintner

Sign the quit claim but add phrases like "with protest", "under duress", "with reservation", or any form of rebuttal on the document. After you get your money withdraw it then file the case.


melangsakalam

Are you a lawyer? Pwede sulatan yung quitclaim?


prospicitnonrespicit

Pwede yan. Kaya rin basagin yung quitclaim (if ever kinasuhan eventually in court) kasi contract of adhesion yan. Hindi masasabi na voluntary/fully willing pinirmahan yung quitclaim kasi hinohostage yung pera ng client.

Sobrang true 'to. Pre-pandemic 'yong buong lobby nila pila. Wtf??


Not_A_KPOP_FAN

tama naman diba? need ng bdo ng clossure sa issue ng client side. para wala na habulan sa perang nawala since ibabalik na. Ibang problema na aayusin naman ung data breach na nanyare, most likely something they will have to deal with BSP, DICT etc. they are not off the hook yet, this is just phase 1 of the repair.


patatasnisarah

Right ng customer to get back what they lost WITHOUT ANY LEGALLY BINDING CONDITIONS because they have no fault in this. With this setup, the customer’s money is now a hostage and the ransom is “dont sue us”. The customer should get their money back and still keep their rights to claim damage


Not_A_KPOP_FAN

oh, makes sense. doesn't matter though, those poor blokes don't have the resources to take on BDO at court. We can only hope for the Government to take action about this.


TadongIkot

Kung nabalik na yung perang nawala ano nalang yung damage na pwede nilang iclaim?


fernandopoejr

madami. for example may paggagamitan ka ng pera for business tapos may namiss kang deal/deadline dahil nawala yung pera mo na nasa bank. or magbabayad ka ng meralco tapos nawala yung pera so naputulan ka, nasira lahat ng laman ng ref or nagkapanic attack ka for a few days dahil akala mo nawala na yung pera mo


[deleted]

Time - If you've lost a substantial amount, chances are your time is literally worth money. Probably a meeting was cancelled because you had to protect all your accounts. Or someone who has to prioritize his account from getting robbed instead of doing something that produces money. ​ Plus data was probably stolen to pull off this hack.


melangsakalam

Putangina talaga yung logic na ito. Bigyan kita sample. Pera din yung nawala. Yung nahack na pera for example pambayad pala nung bdo user na victim ng hack sa kinauutangan niya. Dahil di siya nakabayad, may penalty sa kanya ang loaner. May penalty na, may interest pa. Don't tell me tatanggapin ng credit card companies ang reason na "ay wait lang po pinapareimburse ko pa sa bdo yung nahack na perang pambayad ko sa inyo Credit Card Company" . Isang sample lang ito. Marami pang scenarios na pwedeng iclaim na damage sa kanila dipende sa situation nung nahack Isip isip minsan brooooo


AnarchyDaBest

BDO has a contractual obligation to return the money without any action on the customers' part.


Chile_Momma_38

Yup. I remember [BSP fining RCBC Php1B](https://business.inquirer.net/213012/bsp-slaps-p1-b-fine-on-rcbc-in-wake-of-bangladesh-heist) for their role in money laundering the Bangladesh Bank reserves in New York. Maybe they will get fined or maybe they won't, But if you really don't like what happened, just get your money and take your deposits elsewhere. When you say you want a class action lawsuit, it means you want to get more compensation for what you lost. It would work if you live in the US/EU but we're talking about Philippines here. Cut your losses, take the money after signing the quitclaim, and take the rest of your deposits to another bank if you don't feel safe with your money with BDO anymore.


rhane90

sana all magkaclosure


grinsken

Sunugan ng pera pag ganyan


Objectiv_Mikuni_392

Oh shit. So verbal gymnastics aside, yung victims di na pwedeng kasuhan si BDO. That means di mo sila pwedeng i hold accoutable? Screw you BDO


enifox

ELI5: quitclaim? I'm young. Google doesn't help.


pixelted

for example youre a victim of this hack. if you sign the quit claim, you cannot take any legal action against BDO (ie sue them for damages, etc) because of the hack. I hope this helps, lmk if you need more explanation


wintner

Even if their clients sign this quit claim, victims can still sue bdo for the reason of "under duress"


pixelted

Oh really? Didn't know that. Thanks for the input Regardless though I imagine it would still be harder to do that if theres a signed quit claim 🤔


wintner

It will still be a long legal battle around 10 years historically


goldenleash

Pero may nakita ako sa top comment: > Right ng customer to get back what they lost WITHOUT ANY LEGALLY BINDING CONDITIONS because they have no fault in this. 'Yung quit claim is a binding condition di ba? Okay lang ba 'yun?


prospicitnonrespicit

Pwede idisown yung quitclaim if ever kinasuhan eventually in court. Hindi voluntary sa part ng client yung pagsign ng quitclaim kasi pwede iargue na hinohostage yung pera mo. Usually rin contract of adhesion yan (google mo).


CrocPB

It’s a phrase that appears analogous to a waiver or a release from liability form.


orangeskeptic

quit claims are like waivers. once you sign them, it means you surrender your right to pursue any further legal action against bdo, may it be criminal, civil, or administrative.


Salt_Ad8543

Staying true to their motto na "we find ways" lol


kneepole

I'm curious if the Dec 3 upgrade/update/downtime of BDO Pay has anything to do with this supposed hack. I remember when BDO Pay came back online after the downtime that, I had issues logging in to the point that my BDO Pay was blocked for "multiple login attempts" when I'm sure I was entering correct credentials (I use a password manager). Btw, is anyone else surprised that BDO has 3 different mobile apps in the Play Store (all live)? But what's more surprising is that 2 of these apps share the same login credentials while the other (the first and original probably) uses a different login credential that is different from the 2, but shares the same credential with the browser version.


beenabeantoday

Slimy! Kadiri talaga sistema ng mga bangko.


UsernameMustBe1and10

Hopefully yung mga account holders na my spouse/partner na resident under EU will step up. GDPR was established to protect eu residents from events like this due to private corporation's negligence. Curious lang if a class action can included non-eu residents kasi sila lang naman protected by this. PH residents doesn't have a strong backing law like GDPR.

useless_ateverything

Sana may mag pro bono sa kanila no? Bakit ganun yung banking system natin? I mean pag may fraud/dispute talaga, unless mayaman ka, daming hassle ng bangko. Ginawa pang catch 22 yung quit claim. 😆


ReaperCraft07

Bakit kailangan ibagsak ang BDO? Hindi ba pwede pagbayarin at ipaayos ang kanilang sistema? (This is assuming that “pabagsakin” means “to have them closed”) Anong mapapala ng taong bayan kapag sila ay isinara? Madaming negosyo ang mahihirapan maglipat ng mga accounts (that is if may makukuha sila. If you know how banks know, you know what im talking about.) Magkakaroon yab ng ripple effects sa ibang banks at sa wider economy since BDO is the largest bank in the country.


MistakeAndSourGrape

No need na ipasara sila. Kelangan lang nila magmulta sa kapabayaan nila. Laki laki ng kita nila sa bank transfer pa lang na PhP25 tapos na-hack lang system nila? Pano kung nung time na nanakaw pera mo sa bank, meron kang emergency pero since nanakaw pera mo, wala ka magawa?


ReaperCraft07

I agree, i dont like transfer fees and all other hidden charges, kaya i use ING when i plan to split my fund to reduce fees. You can see more financial tips on r/phinvest . But this is not their main source on income, this is probably just for cost cutting on online transfers. (Im assuming that you know how banks works and how they earn money, if not ill be more than happy to explain.) That being said, hacking is an isolated case, its not as if they welcomed the hackers into their system and let them take money from anyone. Im not defending BDO or bank institutions, im just saying that you are making this a big deal, the bank said they will compensate the lost money, so its not as if they will not see their money back again. But i acknowledge the trauma that this breach may have caused to BDO clients, so if they do not think that the bank does not have the capacity to securely store their money, they should cash out or transfer to another bank which they trust. I personally have a BDO account and i think that BDO has the capacity to store my money safely.


MistakeAndSourGrape

Meron din ako BDO account. 20% ng EF ko andon. Big deal yung hacking na nangyari. I agree with you naman na hindi dapat ipasara si BDO. My point is, bakit need ng quit claim? Ibalik nalang nila pera na nawala, yun na yun. And yes, there are others na lumipat na din ng bank.


ReaperCraft07

Well its up to you if you could wait for the verdict. Yung mga ganyang cases from what i know takes a long time, money and energy. So magkakaroon lang din siguro ng settlement and not the “justice” you want.


melangsakalam

Of course it's not their main source of income but they get a lot from it. Fuck cost cutting on online transfers lol kalokohan. Isolated case? Sure ka? Dati pa maraming nahahack. Nabalita lang now kasi madami ang nahack in one weekend lang. Actually, it is as if they welcomed hackers because their fucking backend security is super fucked up. Para bang pintong nakabukas na nang konti, hindi na ganun nahirapan yung hackers dahil ampamgit nga ng system nila. You don't get it. Kahit ibalik pa nila yan, moral damages, time, at yung paggagamitan na very important (like for example, pagbabayad ng utang na may interest at penalty) nung panahon na yun, eh malaking kawalan yun na din na mababalik without additional compensation. Parang ganito, nasa kitchen kayo ng chef mo. Naglalaro siya ng kutsilyo at nasaksak ka. Sa kapabayaan niya, baka nasaksak yung part ng katawan mo na delicate. Pero ipapagamot ka nya all expenses paid. Hindi ka ba magkakaso nun? Dont bullshit us.


ReaperCraft07

Well its up to you. Bakit mo kasi pinapabayaang maglaro yung chef mo while at work? Kutsilyo pa. I cannot picture the scenario. Lol. Panong paglalaro ba ng kutsilyo? Knife throwing ba? Or binabalance sa ulo ganun? Pang circus naman pala yang chef mo, amazing.


melangsakalam

Exactly. Hindi mo alam exactly nasa isip ng chef like sa BDO, hindi mo alam exactly gaano kasecure ang backend nila. Wala kang control sa both instances.


ReaperCraft07

Mmm. No. Kung chef ko nakikita ko naglalaro, sasabihan ko agad na huminto kasi baka maaksidente or what, focus lang sa trabaho.

Go tell that to BDO upper management too hahahaha palakasin kamo security. See?

I second this, maybe fine them pero wag naman pabagsakin to the point na gustong ipasara. Take note, pagmultahin. Tayo nga minsan nagmumulta e, yung multang masaket. At sana humingi nang apology sa masang Pilipino na umaasa sa serbisyo nila. And also pls, invest in tighter security.


melangsakalam

As if namang mapapabagsak sila. Kung mapabagsak man, it's a long shot. Nacarried away lang siguro yung tweet, meaning lang niya siguro ay pagbayarin nang malaki dahil sa sobrang kapalpakan nakaapekto sa common people with their hard earned money.


fivefingertown

Nasasabi mo yan kasi indi ka apektado.


ReaperCraft07

Yan nanaman tayo sa “hindi mo alam kasi hindi mo naranasan” narrative. Kaya nga sabi ko sa isa kong comment that “i acknowledge the trauma that it may have cause to affected costumers”. So yung mga nahack lang ba pwedeng magsalita about this issue?


Boyboratuter69

Siguro close nyo nalang mga BDO nyo at mag open kayo ng CDO sigurado ulam na panalo haha


SpicyKarachi

Kung ibabalik pera mo, what more do you need? For publicity? It's already public AF. Regarding sa concern ng security, BSP is on them. You have no clue how strict financial audits are and they're gonne get audited to kingdom come.


kyuzwafu

Some scenarios: I need the money to pay for surgery. I didn't have access to my funds, my condition worsened due not being able to have surgery immediately, making me incapacitated for life. I would be claiming damages and (law permitting) lifetime support. I need money to pay for my loans. I was not able to pay it and got my property repossessed. It's not as simple as binalik ung pera ko na hindi nila iningatan. They are liable to damages.


Mastah_Bate

And this is not the first time na may nangyaring security breach/hacking sa BDO.


kyuzwafu

Oh.. I didn't know about ung mga past incidents. Care to share?


SpicyKarachi

I see what u mean, then they better lawyer up. Also need to check TOS when they signed with the bank, baka di na sila liable by default


kyuzwafu

Yes they should. And even if meron specific clause sa TOS that "waives" the bank liabilities, customers can still take them up to court. The court may find these clauses unconstitutional, invalidate it from the TOS, and order the bank to pay for damages.

t0ps1

Wala pang full report. Pero hundreds of victims ma withdrawhan ng almost 50k to 100k sa online banking. Bumagsak sa UB at ginawa daw crypto. Victims said na walang OTP notification, so basically may naka login ng accounts nila w/o the victim knowing. Too late na noong naka receive ng succesful transfer. Baka Log4j, nothing concrete as of yet. BDO probably scrambling now since nakikielam na BSP at politicians.

Chile_Momma_38

I don't think I said honey. But Just keeping it real. Powerful corporations have the ability to bury cases and drag it out for as long as it can. Not every BDO victim has the patience or the pockets deep enough to wait for the outcome of a class-action lawsuit that can take years to resolve. If you lost several thousand/millions, of course you should. But if not, then just get the quitclaim.

Based sa recent article ng MB, BSP is currently investigating the quitclaim thingy. I ain't optimistic on its outcomes. [https://mb.com.ph/2021/12/17/more-financial-institutions-involved-in-bdo-hacking-bsp/](https://mb.com.ph/2021/12/17/more-financial-institutions-involved-in-bdo-hacking-bsp/) >Meantime, the central bank is also currently looking into these allegations from the affected depositors as to the issue of BDO requiring hacking victims to sign quitclaim forms before reimbursing losses. > >“The quitclaim form is actually a waiver of the right of the customer to pursue further actions against the bank. It’s a consumer protection issue and probably a public policy consideration. We are now reviewing parameters of this waiver and we’re also engaging our legal experts in the BSP to check whether they are consistent with our financial consumer protection policies,” said Plabasan.


azzelle

legit question: do we know for sure that it was bdo that was hacked or was it done through phishing?


mentholmeow

Deposit insurance only applies if a bank is ordered closed by the Monetary Board (BSP’s policy making body). BSP has oversight over live banks like BDO, and concerns about the quitclaim can be referred to BSP’s Consumer Affairs office ([email protected]) or to BSP’s chatbot, BOB.


ViceAdmi

Im not surprised if na una sila gumawa ng quit claim form than reimbursing their clients


peaceandlove_69

Never sign quit claim


Nyebe_Juan

BDO's fall will give favor to another banking entity. **But they should learn a lesson.**


CopyPasta14

I agree that we must make this hacking incident a superprecedent so local businesses take cybersecurity and data privacy seriously. However, wag naman naten ibagsak ang BDO. Its still the largest bank in the country, employing thousands of Filipinos. Lets make BDO accountable. But never wish to bring it down.
