🗞️ News

23andMe agrees to $30 million settlement

Genetic testing company 23andMe has reached a $30 million settlement in response to a class-action lawsuit linked to a data breach that exposed the personal information of 6.9 million users. The breach, attributed to credential stuffing, allowed hackers to access accounts using reused passwords.

The settlement, pending judicial approval, will provide compensation for affected individuals and cover expenses related to identity theft and mental health treatment. 23andMe denies any wrongdoing but aims to enhance security measures moving forward

Policy shift in Telegram

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has announced a significant policy shift, stating that the messaging app will now share user IP addresses and phone numbers with authorities upon valid legal requests. This decision aims to combat criminal activity on the platform, which has faced scrutiny for its previous resistance to government data requests.

Durov's announcement follows his recent arrest in France on charges related to facilitating illegal activities, including child exploitation. He highlighted that this change is intended to protect the majority of users from the negative impact of a small number of offenders.

OpenAI rolls out Advanced Voice Mode

OpenAI has launched its Advanced Voice Mode (AVM) for ChatGPT, enhancing the conversational experience for Plus and Teams subscribers. The new feature, which includes five additional nature-inspired voices, aims to make interactions feel more natural and fluid. Users will notice a revamped design with a blue animated sphere replacing the previous interface.

AVM is rolling out gradually, with Enterprise and Edu users gaining access next week. However, the feature is not yet available in several regions, including the EU and the UK.

That’s it for now!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s edition! See you next week.
