Update:

In the spirit of fairness, I am taking down my blog post as per the original author’s request.

Martin Cervantes' Apology

I also thank Raul for bringing in the side of our good Senator.

Here’s Mr. Cervantes apology from Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/note

Again, I humbly apologize for the confusion.

I too have added to the confusion.

But is it really right to make people wait for the relief goods for hours?

Just a thought.

“I guess I am the first to blog about this and there are a lot who doubted my intent. Now I have proven you that this is REAL!”

In a statement, Trend Micro Senior Threat Analyst Joseph Pacamara found several malicious websites that when visited, will take the user to other landing websites that contained the executable file “soft_207.exe”.

This file contains a hidden Trojan called TROJ_FAKEAV.BND, which masquerades as a fake antivirus application.

Hey guys,

This is a warning! I know how important internet is in the current time. We can get instant updates wherever side of the planet you are in.

The latest search trends in Google that we may have are:

1. Ondoy Flood

2. Ondoy Update

3. Ondoy Typhoon

because of the storm that recently hit Manila and left thousands of families homeless, devastated and some even got killed.

In this regards some people with crooked minds have grabbed the opportunity to spread malwares, trojans and viruses. And take note, THEY ARE ON THE FIRST PAGE of Google search results.

If you Google the above-mentioned terms, you may be directed to harmful sites. See screenshot below.

Ondoy Virus

I’ve been victimized so please spread the word. Please check first if the one you are visiting is an authority site (reliable sites).

It’s better if you have a good antivirus installed or purchase one that is reliable. Thank god I have this installed. Scan your computers now before it’s too late.

Hope you find this helpful. Kindly share to your friends in Twitter and Facebook to warn them.

I don’t know why there are kinds of people who take advantage of situations like this. We need your help! Let’s all pray for the victims of this unfortunate event.

Ronald

Disclaimer:

I don’t claim that the above scanner can remove the virus. It’s just the one installed on my PC since April 2009. And I am not in anyway connected to whoever made the virus. I am a UP Manila Pol Sci graduate and a complete idiot on software stuff. It’s just that I am the first to discover the said issue.

Ondoy Flood: Typhoon Ondoy Update

Ronald Redito — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:50:18 +0000

Heavy rains brought by tropical storm “Ondoy” flooded Philippine capital Manila and its sounding areas, causing some domestic flights to get canceled and traffic paralyzed on Saturday.

According to Philippine government agencies, heavy rains have poured without let-up in Metro Manila since dawn Saturday, causing massive flooding across the metropolis, and floods have reached chest level in some areas.

Here’s a video of Makati Central Business District’s underpass submerged in water. I have never experienced this when I worked in Makati before.

Metro Manila is flooded and I have heard some students and faculties are stranded in the schools and colleges.
