While it’s only been going on for a little under two weeks, the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried has already had more revelations and shockers than a whole season of Succession.
Award-winning journalist Stephanie Clifford has been in the federal courtroom each day, documenting the trial and offering an inside look at the proceedings for Fast Company. (She also has a great primer on what happened at FTX leading up to Bankman-Fried’s arrest and why his parents are being s
There’s a reason you’ve maybe been struggling to find Clorox products on store shelves: For the last two months, the consumer products giant has been struggling with a large-scale bleach breach.
On Aug. 14, Clorox—which makes not only its namesake bleach but also Glad trash bags and Burt’s Bees skin products—announced in a regulatory filing that it discovered “unauthorized activity” in its computer systems. More than a month later, on
It’s officially cozy season in Baltimore. Each night, while my son is pumping his 9-year-old brain full of loud videos of YouTube bros and my teen is busy responding to thousands of notifications on her phone—I’m on my phone watching recipe reel, after recipe reel, after recipe reel. After all, what else do I have to do in the evenings when it’s below 60 degrees?
I scroll through soups with ingredients I’ve never heard of. Instant Pot meals with pa
Microsoft’s purchase of Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard won final approval Friday from Britain’s competition watchdog, reversing its earlier decision to block the $69 billion gaming deal and removing the final obstacle for one of the largest tech transactions in history.
The Xbox maker’s quest to acquire Activision — maker of other blockbuster games like Candy Crush, World of Warcraft, Diablo and Overwatch — could close i
Most of the press surrounding the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) has been focused on its impact on VLOPs or “very large online platforms.” And indeed, platforms like Amazon, Alibaba Express, Facebook, Google, and the like bear the greatest potential liabilities under the law. But what’s forgotten most of the time in that the DSA affects your own brand experience as well.
If your brand advertises online or runs a small online store, your business will be
Ever since ChatGPT burst onto the scene last year, a heated debate has centered on its potential benefits and pitfalls for students. As educators worry students could use artificial intelligence tools to cheat, a new survey makes clear its impact on young people: They’re getting into trouble.
Half of teachers say they know a student at their school who was disciplined or faced negative consequences for using—or being accused of using—generative artificial intell
A few years ago, Nick Milo was using a folder full of plain text files for notes when he found out about Obsidian.
The app had just launched in beta, and was getting some buzz on a productivity forum that Milo liked to frequent. Obsidian gave structure to text files in a way that resembled more popular apps such as Notion and Evernote, and it didn’t take long for him to get hooked on the app.
“Immediately, I recognized that they had cracked the code,”
A week ago, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren signed as cosponsor of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which has a good chance of becoming law. The purpose of this bill is to address the youth mental health crisis that many attribute to the use of social media.
Among other proposed measures, KOSA’s duty of care would require social media platforms to design their products and services to prevent and miti
Cyberattacks are becoming more prevalent in 2023—and it’s no longer a matter of whether this year will record a record number of data breaches, it’s more a question of how high that number will be.
As of the end of September, corporations had reported 2,116 data compromises for the year, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). That’s already higher than the previous annual record of 1,862, set in 2021. And the fourth quarter is already off
Key witness Caroline Ellison wrapped up her three-day testimony against her former boyfriend and boss Sam Bankman-Fried at his federal fraud trial Thursday. Ellison, on cross-examination, proved perhaps even better than on the direct examination by prosecutors. She gave lots of crisp “Yes, that’s right” responses to defense lawyer Mark Cohen, corrected him on a couple of points about which she’d already testified, and fixed his pronunciation (on the name “Mo
