Philippines: Rodrigo Duterte orders soldiers to shoot female rebels 'in the vagina'

President Rodrigo Duterte has been branded a misogynist and “macho-facist” after he ordered soldiers to shoot female communist rebels in the vagina.

In a speech to over 200 former communist soldiers in Malacañang last week, the Philippines president gave a directive of what to do with female guerrilla fighters.

“‘There’s a new order coming from the mayor, ‘We will not kill you. We will just shoot you in the vagina,’ ” said Duterte. He went on to say that without their vaginas, women would be “useless”.

Duterte mentioned the Visayan word “bisong”, meaning vagina, repeatedly throughout the speech, although it was later censored from an official Palace transcript, replaced simply with a dash. However, the remarks were recorded as having drawn laughter from the audience.

'Olympic Destroyer' malware may have been behind the cyber attack that disrupted servers during the opening ceremony, security researchers say

Organizers of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea confirmed on Sunday that hackers targeted the event's opening ceremony.

But, they didn't disclose who was behind the cyber attack.

Now, researchers from Cisco's Talos Intelligence Group believe they've discovered a piece of malware, referred to as the 'Olympic Destroyer,' that may have been used in the attack.

Additionally, researchers from cyber security firms CrowdStrike and FireEye confirmed similar findings in statements to Reuters.

Before the opening ceremony began, the official Pyeongchang website went down, which meant customers were unable to print tickets or access other information.
The attack also left the Olympic stadium without WiFi, while internet and television were disrupted in the press center.

The website wasn't brought back online until 12 hours after servers had been hit.

'We know the cause of the problem but that kind of issues occurs frequently during the Games,' Pyeongchang organizing committee spokesman Sung Baik-you told Reuters.
