Locator housing emerging as key differentiator in ecozone dev’t

MORE economic zone (ecozone) developers are integrating locator housing to gain an edge over the competition, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) said.

“From our experience, we see more developers integrating dormitory and residential facilities in their ecozone projects,” PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga said via Viber.

“Locator company executives and workers will benefit most from this setup, including employer companies that see these facilities as an imperative to ensure business continuity, especially during disasters,” he added.

He said housing is deemed a best practice in other countries with freeports and ecozones.

“For developers of township projects like Aboitiz, it is a must that they provide as well for residential facilities to make their ecozones more viable and competitive,” he added.

Aboitiz Economic Estates, the developer behind ecozones such as LIMA and TARI Estates, is also closely working with Aboitiz Land to integrate housing in its projects.

“With these two business units, we look forward to the integration of the full real estate offering. We will now be the Aboitiz real estate arm,” according to Farrah Nina L. Mayol, senior assistant vice-president for corporate branding and communications at Aboitiz Economic Estates.

“We see this integration as something that strengthens our organization more because we offer the full spectrum of real estate solutions,” she added.

Aboitiz Land currently has developments in Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Cebu.

“Our strategy moving forward is to build residential developments within the estate … to serve the residential needs of the estate,” she said.

“It could be houses and lots; we will also be building more workforce housing, because within our estates we serve around 1,000 employees, and those people need housing, so that will be the role of Aboitiz Land moving for-ward,” she added. — Justine Irish D. Tabile

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
