Dark Web News Analysis
Cybersecurity intelligence from February 26, 2026, has identified a high-priority listing involving Entrelabel (entrelabel.com). The company is a key player in the Philippine e-commerce ecosystem, serving as a primary supplier for local small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), hobbyists, and corporate brands.
The threat actor claims to have exfiltrated a full customer database in .csv format, which allows for easy sorting and industrialized exploitation. The exfiltrated data reportedly includes:
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Full customer names and physical residential or business addresses.
- Communication Metadata: Registered email addresses and mobile phone numbers.
- Transactional Context: Historical order details and potentially internal customer IDs.
- Scope of Impact: Approximately 13,000 unique records, representing a substantial portion of Entrelabel’s specialized client base.
Key Cybersecurity Insights
The breach of a custom printing supplier like Entrelabel represents a “Tier 1” threat due to the high-density contact data and the risk of supply chain exploitation:
- Industrialized Identity Theft: This is a significant risk. The combination of full names and physical addresses is a primary requirement for identity cloning. In the Philippines, this data can be cross-referenced with other regional leaks to bypass digital security checks for local services or “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) platforms.
- Hyper-Targeted “Order Issue” Phishing: Armed with order details and email addresses, scammers can launch lures that are 100% convincing. A customer is highly likely to trust a notification regarding a “shipping delay,” “payment refund,” or “artwork proof error” if the message correctly identifies their recent custom sticker order.
- Supply Chain and SME Risk: Many Entrelabel clients are small business owners who use the platform for their own branding. This leak provides a “lead list” for attackers to target these downstream businesses with Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, pretending to be Entrelabel requesting updated payment information.
- National Privacy Commission (NPC) Scrutiny: As a Philippine entity, Entrelabel is subject to the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). The exposure of 13,000 records triggers a mandatory investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC), potentially leading to significant administrative fines and a mandate for public disclosure if the breach meets the criteria for mandatory notification.
Mitigation Strategies
To protect your digital identity and ensure business resilience following this exposure, the following strategies are urgently recommended:
- Immediate Password and Session Rotation: If you have an account on Entrelabel, change your password immediately. CRITICAL: If you used that same password for your primary email or Shopee/Lazada accounts, rotate those credentials now using a unique, complex passphrase for each.
- Enforce App-Based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Move beyond simple passwords. Enable MFA (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator) for all financial and communication portals to ensure that even if an attacker has your leaked login, they cannot hijack your digital life.
- Zero Trust for “Official” Communications: Treat any unsolicited email or Viber message claiming to be from “Entrelabel Support” asking for “payment verification” or “address updates” with extreme caution. Always verify the request by navigating directly to the official website or calling their verified number: +(63) 939-9176929.
- Monitor E-Wallet and Bank Statements: Since contact and order metadata were leaked, be alert for any unauthorized “Cash-on-Delivery” (COD) scams where fraudulent packages are sent to your leaked address.
