Bottomline can you prove ba na this was an attack? Well maybe your expertise makes you know better than the ordinary Juan.

 

But if you are merely speculating ... Well i think it's also fair to give the bank the benefit of the doubt.

 

For the meantime you can do whatever you want on your deposit with them. Sabi ko nga why not just pull everything out. I'm pretty sure that bank would not want that to happen but honestly it won't really matter to them losing a few insubstantial business.

 

Which part of spreading the risk did you fail to understand?

Cyber attack is easier if you are part of the I.T. team before. Alam mo yung mga security measures na ginawa. If there is one I don't think they would say it in public because it will only cause panic to other depositors. May kakalat pang balita pa na ISIS ang gumawa niyan. I know BPI is one of the banks na invested sa I.T, systems including DR. BDO and EastWest mas mahina alam ko.

I don't think na nagkaroon ng bug yung system kasi magkakamali lang yan kung may major update pero wala naman sinabing ganun. Plus an update should be done and tested sa Dev and QAS servers nila before transferring it to the live server kaya malabo mangyari yung bug.

I agree, malabo na nagkaroon lang ng bug ang system. Denying the event as a possible cyber attack is counter-productive.

 

When the Federal Reserve Bank was cyber-attacked as part of Bangladesh Bank Heist, they did not deny the incident. They admitted that 30 transaction attempts were blocked but 5 transactions went through to Sri Lanka and the Philippines' RCBC.

 

RCBC did not deny the attack either. The RCBC's board committee launched their own separate probe into the bank's involvement in the money laundering scam. RCBC president resigned, despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by the bank's internal investigation, to "take full moral responsibility" for the incident. The bank also apologized to the public for its involvement in the robbery. The BSP fined RCBC one billion pesos, the largest monetary fine it ever imposed.

Investigators suspect that North Korea orchestrated the cyber attack with the help of some Chinese middlemen.

No denials, no whitewash. I don't think it caused any loss of confidence in the banking system. Telling the truth is the best way to maintain client's trust. You just have to handle it very carefully and focus on the strength and integrity of the system.

Poll Documents Found in School Garbage Heap

 

 

 

MANILA, Philippines — At least 60 envelopes containing election paraphernalia, including election returns and poll watchers’ identification cards for the Liberal Party (LP), were recovered by garbage collectors near a school in Mandaluyong City Wednesday, police said yesterday.

 

“We are still in the process of investigating as to why the election documents ended up in the pile of garbage,” Chief Superintendent Romulo Sapitula, Eastern Police District (EPD) director, said as he directed Senior Superintendent Joaquin Alva, city police chief, to coordinate with the Commission on Elections to determine if the documents are authentic.

Sapitula said some of the envelopes contained election returns with the votes for Duterte for president and Bongbong Marcos for vice president.

^^^ Hehehe! Seen zone lang sa mga LPtards & yellowtards.

They can do more than that though. Protest or so can make a difference. That is if they're in the position to move.

^^^ The problem with the news report is that it's inconclusive.

 

1. They were not sure if they are authentic Comelec documents. It would have been better if they released the news after they have shown it to the Comelec with a statement form the authorities that the documents are indeed authentic.

2. Why would somebody throw in the garbage incriminating evidence like that? The smart ones would burn the documents instead.

 

One possible explanation was that it was hidden somewhere in the school building during elections and were eventually forgotten. Then the cleaners (students assigned to clean up after class) or the janitor found it, didn't see any use for it, and threw them in the garbage.

Mukhang hindi pinaguusapan dito ang issue ng corruption ang BOC ngayon ah .... Kahit laman ito ng pahayagan at may senate investigation pa.

You only "return" something that is not yours. Those gold bars were not entrusted to them in the first place nor it was borrowed. So it is not difficult to deduce Edited August 29, 2017 by rooster69ph

Mukhang tunay ang kwento ng lolo ko na me tinatago na ginto ang mga Marcoses? Namely their so called "Yamashita" treasure? Hmmmm

[rooster69ph]

Funny thing here is that these marcostards are unusually silent over the said issue. Deadmatic! Hahaha

I'm curious if its really Reynaldo de Guzman that was found in Nueva Ecija. Kawawa din naman yung real parents kung hidni nga siya yun. DNA tests on both parents are negative and the older brother is also saying na hindi siya yun. Unless the parent will admit na adopted yung bata, yun lang kasi nakikita kong logical on the current situation.
