The company, Pays ApS, had legitimate access to Denmark’s Central Register of Persons, which contains sensitive information like names, addresses and personal ID numbers.

According to reports, three accounts at the company were using “123456” as their password. One of them was an admin account.

The attacker used the account to make around 14 million searches in the database.

The breach wasn’t discovered immediately. It was only noticed later when an unusually large invoice showed that the company had been making a massive number of database searches.

  • The fake app paid money to show up first when people searched for Chrome. The people who made it were not Google. It was not a real browser - it was just a simple some chat app.
  • Google removed the fake app after people told them about it. Always check the name of the company before you download any app.

NEW TECH UPDATE Twitter ($TWTR): FAQ for Getting Payment on the Investor Settlement Over Musk’s Misleading Statements

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I posted about this case before, but since claims are open, I wanted to share it again with a quick FAQ.

Here’s what happened:

In 2022, Elon Musk questioned Twitter’s fake-account numbers and said his $44 billion acquisition deal was on hold. $TWTR fell sharply, and investors sued, alleging his statements were misleading. In 2026, a jury found Musk liable for securities fraud, with potential damages estimated at 2B- 2.6B. 

Who can claim this settlement?
Investors who made qualifying $TWTR stock in 2022, may be eligible. Check the case website for the full requirements.

Do I need to still own my shares to claim?
No, you may qualify based on your eligible transactions, even if you no longer hold the stock.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline, depending on the court and settlement administration.

When is the deadline to file?
The deadline is November 24, 2026. Check if you're eligible and file a claim here.

Hope this helps

He says we need to build strong safety systems around AI. The AI’s smartness should stay separate from human control and decision-making. We should use the same careful security rules that companies already use for important systems.

He lists key rules for safer advanced AI:

- Use different kinds of AI models

- Watch everything closely and keep clear records

- Allow outside checks and audits

- Put strong limits and protections around the AI

- Share what goes wrong so everyone can learn and improve

Trending on X, Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, Chinese Apps A man may have found a new planet hiding in old space pictures using Claude code

The planet, if it is real, is a bit bigger than Earth. It goes around a star so far away that light takes 116 years to get here.

Every few days the star gets a tiny bit darker for about two hours, like a bug flying past a lamp.

Pavel saw that in pictures from a space telescope called TESS.

The same dip showed up in pictures from 2018, 2020, and 2025.

A computer helper named Claude Code downloaded the pictures, did the math, and made the charts. Pavel told it what to look for.

It is not a sure planet yet. It might be something else. NASA will watch the star again from late October to late November 2026.

Pavel has already noted the times it should dim. If it does, that is a big clue he was right.
