A video of women who were supposedly held hostage by Maute group members in Marawi City has surfaced in the social media.

According to a report by Maki Pulido on "24 Oras" on Wednesday, the women were appealing to President Rodrigo Duterte for their rescue.

The seven hostages were all wearing hijab.

It was unclear when and where the video was taken.

A video of another alleged hostage, Father Teresito "Chito" Suganob, has also spread in the social media.

The report said the military was still looking into the motive behind the video.

"Seemingly the video may seem to be authentic but beyond the authenticity and the message of the video, there lies in the real reason for coming up with a video which is propaganda purposes and we would not want to get into that," Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla said.

Suganob, in the video, was seen pleading with the military to stop its offensive against the Maute group for the safety of the "prisoners of war."

Padilla said Suganob seemed to have been forced to say those things in the video.

"The propaganda of the enemy is already of means that are indicative that they're fighting for survival they are trapped, they are contained, they are in areas that they will not come out alive unless they surrender," he said. —Anna

The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
