One million T-Mobile customers have had their information stolen by hackers

T-Mobile says an ongoing investigation into a cyberattack is continuing, following customers data being exposed online.

The company was made aware of the attack late last week after an online forum claimed that personal data of its users were leaked.

The breached data included customers’ first and last names, date of birth, social security numbers, and driver’s license information.

The telecom operator had acknowledged the data breach, stating that it was confident the entry point used to access the data had been closed.

OpenAI targets $280 billion revenue by 2030, prompting market fears despite some executives’ confidence in traditional software.

OpenAI has revealed plans to replace major software providers with its own AI-driven products, signalling a dramatic shake-up across the tech industry. The company is targeting an eye-watering $30 billion in revenue by 2026 — and a staggering $280 billion by 2030 — underscoring just how aggressive its expansion strategy has become.

The announcement has rattled markets, with Atlantean’s stock sliding sharply amid fears that AI agents could reduce the need for traditional software licences. Investors are now questioning whether established providers can withstand a shift toward automated, AI-powered platforms.

OpenAI is doubling down through partnerships with major consulting firms to embed AI deeper into business operations. Still, some executives insist traditional software won’t disappear overnight — arguing it will evolve rather than collapse in the face of disruption.

Anthropic CEO to meet Defense Secretary Hegseth on ethical AI deployment and DOD contract discussions.

Anthropic’s CEO is scheduled to meet Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon to discuss the use of the startup’s artificial intelligence models in military applications. The meeting comes as the Department of Defense seeks clarity on how Anthropic’s AI can be integrated into its operations.

Negotiations between Anthropic and the DOD have recently faced challenges over terms of use. Anthropic is pushing for safeguards to ensure its models are not used for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance, while the DOD wants full flexibility to deploy the technology for all lawful purposes.

Currently, Anthropic is the only AI company deployed on the DOD’s classified networks, holding a $200 million contract. This meeting could be pivotal in resolving tensions and strengthening collaboration between the AI startup and the U.S. government.
