Police on Sunday arrested the suspect behind the killing of 16-year-old Kevin Reantaso, GMA News' Cesar Apolinario reported on 24 Oras on Monday.

Eric Dalmacio was arrested in Tandang Sora, Quezon City, by patrolling policemen. He was positively identified by a witness as the one who repeatedly shot Kevin in Barangay Bahay Toro last Wednesday night.

Police said Kevin was killed in a cellphone robbery perpetrated by Dalmacio and a companion on board a motorcycle.

Superintendent Guillermo Eleazar, chief of Quezon City Police District (QCPD), said they are still looking for Dalmacio's companion.

"'Yung isang kasama, kasi riding-in-tandem criminals 'yan, 'di pa natin nahuhuli. Pero napalalaking bagay na naaresto natin siya (Dalmacio), and he was positively identified by witness na siya talaga ang bumaril kay Kevin," Eleazar said.

Recovered from the arrested suspect was a loaded cal. 38 gun.

The witness reportedly identified Dalmacio through the tattoos on both of his arms.

Dalmacio, who denied killing Kevin, was allegedly involved in several other robberies in the area. He is facing charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition and two counts of robbery, and murder. —KBK, GMA News

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 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...

© 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 ...
