Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa on Monday ordered police regional directors to closely monitor banks, pawnshops, money remittance centers, and other establishments that could be targeted by robbery group Termite or Acetylene Gang.

“All regional directors are instructed to monitor banks, pawnshops. Monitor nila in coordination with security personnel of banks and pawnshops baka mamaya bibira na naman ang Termite Gang,” Dela Rosa said at a press conference.

He said there should be maximum police visibility during the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day as the public visit their departed loved ones.

He also reminded the business owners to double their security and coordinate with the police stations.

“We are reminding you to to double your security during Undas and don’t forget to coordinate with the police para monitor yung inyong financial establishments. Baka may tunnel na sa ilalim, after long vacation magulat kayo butas na yung sahig at mawala na yung vault, hinakot ng Termite Gang,” he said.

He added the police should also closely monitor the treasurer’s office of the local government units.

“I am also reminding regional directors to act on this issue accordingly, padala ng patrols sa financial hubs and coordinate with security personnel,” he said. — Amita Legaspi/RSJ, GMA News

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. 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 ...

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.

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...
