The Internal Affairs Service will be conducting a motu propio investigation on the predawn raid conducted in Ozamiz City which resulted in the deaths of 15 people, including Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog.

Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa said the investigation was procedural.

“Kailangan talaga nila gawin iyan basta may death involving firearms during police operations, motu propio, IAS should investigate,” Dela Rosa said at a press conference.

He said the police personnel involved would be on duty unless the IAS found probable cause to file a complaint against them.

“Full duty status sila pero kung makita ng IAS na may probable cause na nagviolate sila then the IAS can recommend na preventive suspension muna sila,” Dela Rosa said.

It was the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) that led the raid, together with Misamis Occidental provincial police office and Ozamis police office.

Misamis Occidental provincial police office chief Senior Superintendent Jaysen de Guzman earlier said that the police officers were met by a volley of gunfire as they were about to enter the Parojinogs' compound at around 2:30 a.m.

The police authorities had six warrants to search the houses of Mayor Parojinog, his daughter Vice Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog-Echavez, Board Member Parojinog, City Councilor Ricardo Parojinog, and one other for loose firearms. —NB, GMA News

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

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...
