PASIG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- In a sleepless, cybersecurity scare over the weekend that had everyone worried, as the Philippines' leading cryptocurrency electronic wallet fintech service 'Coins.PH' was hit with a coordinated phishing attack on thousands of users all across the country. The entire incident happened on Saturday night at around 9pm (March 7th, 2026 -- Pasig local time) as hackers began to roll out very convincing push notifications and suspicious e-mails, all pretending to be official Coins notifications in an effort to drive users to provide their access to an account.

Some of the scammy notifications, which we independently dug up, did a rather good job of convincing users that their account was flagged by suspicious activity, and they were on a rogue site to which they were about to be redirected in case of interaction. These fake URLs were intended to secure users to provide their login information and empty their online assets, including some fairly mainstream cryptos such as XRP and Solana. Across the entire archipelago, particularly in Dumaguete City struck unexpectedly, which only goes to prove how far-reaching it was. It is nothing more than somebody stole the items while being shoplifted, once the order is placed online through cash-on-delivery.

The mechanics of the breach were terrifyingly easy: when clicking on the fake push alerts, users were redirected to a site where they would have to re-authenticate their accounts by inputting all their sensitive information. But the trouble was, if they did that, the hackers would get all the access they needed to carry out unauthorized transactions and transfer funds in any amount, excluding the smaller money figures. It's pretty worrying stuff.

But thankfully, cybersecurity authorities like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC) were onto it in a jiffy, and swiftly blacklists all hackers' wallet addresses and virtually dismantled their phishing operation. Crucially though, Coins has said that no user funds, assets or personal data were actually compromised in the overnight scam, as the hackers were only after people who interacted with the dodgy links.

By Tuesday night (March 10th), all active campaigns in push notifications have now been suspended, pending a full internal audit. They've also promised to beef up their digital defenses with some much needed extra security measures. A joint investigation is going to get underway early next week, and the main focus is going to be on trying to track down the people behind the attack and stopping them from happening again. In an exclusive statement to OneNETnews, Coins said that users need to be proactive about their accounts and change their passwords, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on their mobile device, and keep an eye on their account activity. For those who didn't engage with the phishing attempts, they're good to go, but still wise to turn on 2FA as a certain precaution.

Users who did view the fake alerts have now been provided with a respective tech support, where they can report any fraudulent transactions made by the online attackers. The company itself is saying that all valid user funds are safe and sound, and there are some additional monitoring systems in place to detect and close any future threats. And with this recent cybersecurity threat to the crypto space in the Philippines, it serves as a timely reminder that in the modern day of changing financial frauds, one should be more vigilant with a good financial literacy and common sense online.

PASIG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- To most Filipinos, accessible digital banking has become a question of time. Swiftly growing frustration is manifesting among users who have experienced years-long wait times to have advertised Cash Loan and Savings products are a gross waste of time, except for those who were filing successful Credit Card applications in the nation. An exclusive investigation by public news media 'OneNETnews', most users of these features are still on indefinite waitlists, which includes the PWD Barangay President of Pulantubig Persons with Disabilities Association (PPDA) as of late-November 2025, and this has prompted criticism of deceptive user acquisition practices and the loss of consumer trust stemming from this question. We sank into knowing what was happening now.

Atome, an abbreviation for "Available to Me" is a leading digital financial services platform under the Advance Intelligence Group (AIG). Headquartered in Singapore, the company launched in December 2019 and rapidly expanded across Southeast Asia in three (3) countries, establishing a foothold in the Philippines in October 2021. They offer their services like "Buy Now Pay Later" (BNPL) in Credit Cards, "Atome Cash Loan", and "Atome Savings Account". The platform found momentum due to a strategic joint venture with PayMongo, which enables Filipino customers to divide into shopping bills into deferred payments (either 3 or 6 months) with no annual fees. Nevertheless, the company seems to have stalled with its development into wider financial services, namely Atome Cash and Atome Savings.

In late-November 2025, OneNETnews received insider documents noting the difference between what Atome is selling, and what the user reality is regarding us. Users trying to get into Atome Cash have received a welcome message of "You're on the waitlist!" screen, advising them to "hang tight" for new slots. In the same way, the Atome Savings feature shows "You're in!" notification that misleadingly results in yet another waitlist message: "We'll be in touch once more slots open up!". Yesterday on Sunday (November 30th), an Atome representative person confessed to our news team in part: "There is no fixed timeline for access, as availability may vary based on several factors". This absence of transparency into eligibility or timelines to launch has made users view these features as placebos to retain the app on their device, as opposed to useful financial tools.

These unending delays cause concerns over adherence to consumer protection laws. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulate the digital financial service providers in the Philippines. Financial analysts observe that the use of services to advertise ones that are always unavailable can be a breach of the rules of transparency to the consumer. OneNETnews projected our investigation into the so-called "Ghost Financial Products" (GFP). The affected users, including right here in Negros Oriental, have been advised to send official complaints to the BSP Consumer Protection Department to establish whether the marketing strategies used at Atome comply with the Philippine financial laws.

With the 2025 holiday season approaching, Filipino users are changing their mood to resignation. What some might have thought was a potential credit and savings alternative is currently being termed a partial scam by some users who have been disappointed by the service, which insists on providing a barrier to financial inclusion instead of a service that provides this type of inclusiveness. By the time of our inquiry, Atome Philippines had already declined to comment on this particular set of delays. At present, users are encouraged to keep their expectations in check and turn to the time-tested banking organizations to satisfy their short-term cash loaning and savings requirements.

PASIG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- Fifteen (15) years on, the lights went out in an era for the late-night hours. A pioneering voice of alternative rock format in Metro & Mega Manila, particularly in some selected areas of National Capital Region (NCR). Quad Cities' newspaper outlet 'The Brighton Bugle' is on site in 'Garnet Road, Pasig City', the said region. The station's former studios were previously expected to be reoccupied and newly vacated by mid-2010 onwards, as rock fans commemorate this sad milestone in history.

First hitting the airwaves in the wake of the Marcos Sr.-era's Martial Law, NU 107 was soft-launched at the end of August 1987, officially also following at the end of October, that same year, initially championing new wave and punk music radio format. Throughout the 1990s, the station solidified its identity as "The Home of New Rock", becoming the essential soundtrack for a generation by featuring global acts in grunge and alternative rock, alongside the rise of seminal Original Pilipino Music (OPM) bands. As the new millennium of the 2000s came up, the programming had evolved to include nu metal and a continued commitment to local talent.

On that fateful Sunday night in early mid-November of 2010, a massive crowd of listeners and artists gathered outside the AIC Gold Tower for an impromptu candlelight vigil. The official playlist of the final hour at 11pm onwards (Manila local time) was a poignant reflection of its history, featuring The Beatles' cover of Grandaddy's Revolution, Sandwhich sang an OPM song of Masilungan, Simple Mind's anthemic "Don't You (Forget About Me)", then followed by Modest Mouse's Float On. Pearl Jam spun a soundtrack of "Spin the Black Circle", alongside The Smith's "There is a Light That Never Goes Out". Lastly, "Ang Huling El Bimbo" wraps up with the iconic Filipino rock band 'Eraserheads'.

Cris Hermosisima, station manager and final disc jockey (DJ) of DWNU-FM, which is known on board as "Cris Cruise" said in his farewell message to radio listeners: "For the [final] time [tonight], it's a minute before 12 [midnight]. NU 107 is DWNU-FM at 107.5 megahertz in Pasig [City]. Once the loudest and proudest member of the [Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster sa Pilipinas]. This has been NU 107, the Philippine's one and only home of new rock. This was NU 107, we are signing off", concluded Cris. This year in 2025 marks the 15th commemorative anniversary on the 1st floor of 'AIC Gold Tower' in Ortigas Center, where NU 107 broadcast before in Pasig City on November 7th, 2010. Progressive Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) owns the airwaves of 107.5mhz DWNU after 23 years in the FM band at 12:08am the next day on November 8th.

It was later reoccupied and rebranded as Win Radio for over 3 years under ZimZam Management Incorporated (ZZMi), the same frequency after ceasing operations of NU 107. And in early mid-August 2014, Wish 107.5 was born as an all-hits FM station under the new management of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions Incorporated (BMPi). Years passed in the early mid-2010s, they currently remodeled into a Chinese fast-food restaurant 'Chowking', which stands directly next to an 'EastWest Bank' branch, marking a complete physical transformation from its rock origins. We do reach out to one of Eraserheads' rock band member via social media for a statement regarding the station's closure, but the band member has yet to issue a message, respecting the gravity of this significant anniversary.

The Brighton Bugle thoroughly grasps the issue, where one of the definitive major factors behind the sudden closure was financial considerations, specifically a lack of advertiser support and poor commercial ratings against competitors for listeners. The listener demographics in Manila and parts of the NCR are no longer appealing and have economically become unviable for alternative rock, which may have led to an abuse of dominant market position and other unknown challenges, which in due respect were not independently verified. PBC made the difficult decision to switch to a more popular, mass-market radio format.

Whether you're a founding listener of the new wave, especially nu metal and alternative, or listened to the current OPM rock sensation, the passing of NU 107 leaves a cultural gap that remains palpable 15 years later. It is a stereotypical music radio business, a success of commerce over historical arts. But that is the cost of improvement, Fandreas!

Rock and roll, however, is not meant to be simple. It has a spirit that is too large to be within a radio signal. Thus, we say, keep those memories alive, keep the music playing on your own music streaming platforms such as Spotify, or switch to something similar in its transistor radio sets, and never forget the soundtrack of a generation! That's the kind of legacy in our purpose back home in America that truly deserves to trend to listen on free radio.
