2025/12/08 19:05

DARRY BERNARDO ruled the premier open section of the 3rd Asian Chess Championships for players with disabilities (PWD) that capped the host Philippines’ domination of the weeklong event in Tagaytay City.

Mr. Bernardo, a multiple ASEAN and Asian Para Games gold winner, turned back countryman Arman Subaste in the ninth and final round and, tied with Kazakhstan’s Alimzhan Ayapov with 7.5 points apiece, won on tiebreaks over the latter to claim the crown.

Mr. Ayapov, who downed national team mainstay Felix Aguilera, settled for the silver while Henry Lopez, who split the point with fellow veteran internationalist Menandro Redor, took the bronze with 6.5 points.

It was the country’s fourth victory following conquests by FIDE Master Sander Severino (open blitz), Cheyzer Mendoza (women blitz) and Mr. Subaste (open rapid) a few days back.

Kyla Jane Langue missed her chance of adding a fifth gold after tying for first with Vietnamese Nguyen Thi Hong only to lose on tiebreaks and consoled herself with the silver.

Ms. Mendoza halved the point with Kazakh Aiganym Kambarova to snatch the bronze with 6.5 points.

Ms. Langue, a blind 21-year-old from Magallanes, Agusan del Norte, earned a spot to the team and should be a force to reckon with in the coming international tournaments including the ASEAN Para Games in Thailand in January. — Joey Villar

Crypto.com Reveals Hidden User Data Breach

The post Crypto.com Reveals Hidden User Data Breach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to a Bloomberg investigation, Crypto.com, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, reportedly suffered a security breach it never disclosed. The report linked the incident to Scattered Spider, a hacking group that often targets companies with social engineering tactics. The group comprises mainly teenagers who specialize in tricking employees into handing over their credentials. Sponsored Sponsored According to Bloomberg, the attackers posed as IT staff and persuaded unnamed Crypto.com employees to surrender login credentials. Once inside, they attempted to escalate their access by targeting senior staff accounts. Crypto.com told Bloomberg that the attack affected only “a very small number of individuals” and emphasized that customer funds remained untouched. The firm has yet to provide additional information about the incident as of press time. Meanwhile, security experts argue that the exchange’s decision not to disclose the breach undermines confidence in its security practices. They argue that its failure to share details about the incident leaves its users uncertain about the extent of the exposure and vulnerable to possible follow-up attacks. This concern is significant because Coinbase previously suffered a similar breach that exposed its customers to more than $300 million yearly losses. On-chain investigator ZachXBT accused Crypto.com of deliberately covering up the breach. He also stressed that this was not the first time the platform had been linked to undisclosed security lapses Sponsored Sponsored His comments echo wider industry frustration about exchanges that quietly downplay breaches to protect their reputations. Meanwhile, the incident has also reignited criticism of the industry’s reliance on Know Your Customer (KYC) systems. Pseudonymous security researcher Pcaversaccio reacted sharply to the issues, arguing that KYC requirements create massive data honeypots for hackers. “You can change a password easily, but not your passport and they f#cking know it well. We’re basically the collateral in their surveillance racket,”…
