Dulaang UP Proudly Presents 40th Theater Season Opener

Wazzup Pilipinas!

For its premier offering in its 40th season, Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas proudly presents "#R</3J," a multimedial hallucination on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
 
The "#R</3J" play retells the Romeo and Juliet narrative both contrasting and adapting to the realities of our generation’s culture that revolves around multimedia and superficiality where Verona transforms into a concrete jungle at the heart of Metro Manila- teeming with corruption, revolt, advertisements, sex, and condominium units. The play captures the essence of the famous love story, juxtaposing the young lovers’ romance with our present society’s many forms of commodified love.

This is the world of "#R</3J," a radical, multimedial hallucination on Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece. Can genuine love exist in a world of alterations and foolery? Exploiting our hyper-real contemporary moment – globalization, ultra-violence, internet inanities, intergenerational alienation – this artistic experiment seeks to dramatize, through a psychedelic mix of all available arts, the postmodern tragedy of our generation. Destroy the city, the family, the government – even Shakespeare! – but never destroy the will to love.

Kaspersky Lab survey finds online account theft the most feared cyberthreat among users

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Kaspersky Lab and B2B International have conducted a survey to find out which cyberthreats Internet users are aware of and which they fear the most. It turns out that theft of online accounts is the biggest concern for users.

Hacking of accounts and malware designed to steal passwords and confidential information were cited as the biggest concerns, with approximately the same number worried about these two threats (both 68%).

Financial threats came third with 63% concerned about possibly losing money from an account, followed by phishing emails and websites. Yet another threat targeting account credentials landed in fourth place.

Threats designed to steal credentials were also among those that users are most familiar with. 86% of respondents are aware of account hacking, phishing and malware that intercepts passwords. This shows that the best known and most worrying online threat for users is the theft of their digital identity.

The threats that worry users the least are DDoS attacks and global espionage campaigns. This may be because these types of cyberattacks primarily target companies and rarely threaten ordinary users.
