Scammers hacked her phone and stole thousands - so how did they get her details? 6 hours ago Share Save Joe Tidy Cyber correspondent, BBC World Service Share Save BBC Sue had her digital life hijacked by scammers Data breaches are getting so common that it can be hard to know how to react when it happens to you. It's often easy to shrug it off, but there's a risk. Being a victim of a data breach increases your chances of being targeted by criminals and scammers. Sue told the BBC how scammers went after her. We found her details had been leaked online. She was a victim of what's known as a Sim swap attack - where scammers trick a network operator into thinking they're the account holder to get a new Sim card for a mobile device. They used it to take over almost all her online accounts through her phone. She said the experience was "horrible". "The scammers took over my Gmail account and then locked me out of my bank accounts because they failed security checks," she said. Sue also had a credit card opened in her name and the criminals purchased more than £3,000 in vouchers. It took multiple trips to the branches of her bank and mobile phone provider to get her accounts back. And the thieves weren't done. "The criminals also did a sinister thing after breaking into my WhatsApp," she said. "They sent messages to horse riding groups I am in warning there were people on their way to stab the horses." We searched hacker databases using online tools like haveibeenpwned.com and Constella Intelligence to see if Sue's details were previously compromised. Her phone number, email address, date of birth and physical address were all exposed in data breaches at gambling platform PaddyPower in 2010 and email validation tool Verifications.io in 2019. Other compilations of hacked records also included her details. Hannah Baumgaertner, from cyber firm Silobreaker, said attackers likely used the personal data leaked in previous breaches to conduct the Sim swap attack.

Vinted blocks 'sickening' sexually explicit ads 5 days ago Share Save Shiona McCallum Senior Tech Reporter Share Save Getty Images Online marketplace Vinted says it has removed sexually explicit adverts, after a mum reported seeing a video depicting what she believed to be a pornographic scene while browsing for clothes. Kirsty Hopley, 44, from Carlisle, said she was searching the app for a dressing gown when the ad popped up. She was sitting next to her teenage daughter at the time. Ms Hopley reported the content to Vinted and later contacted Ofcom. She told BBC News the video, which started playing automatically, showed a "sickening" graphic and violent sexual encounter. The law and criminology teacher said she had installed content filters on her home internet and was shocked to see such material on the e-commerce platform. "I probably won't buy anything from there again, which is disappointing as I love Vinted," she said. "But I don't want to see content like that." The platform, which has no age restrictions, has recently faced scrutiny in France after reports that some sellers were using the site to direct users to adult content.

Graduate jobs under threat from AI, PwC boss says | HovicTec
Graduate jobs under threat from AI, PwC boss says 4 days ago Share Save Nick Marsh Business reporter, Singapore Share Save Watch: 'It is a different set of people we are hiring now' The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) may eventually lead to fewer entry-level graduates being hired, the boss of accountancy giant PwC has told the BBC. However, global chairman Mohamed Kande said AI was not behind recent job cuts at the firm, adding that the company actually needed to hire hundreds of new AI engineers but was struggling to find them. But some observers say the technology itself threatens thousands of junior jobs across the professional services industry. Speaking on the sidelines of a business summit in Singapore, Mr Kande also said big changes in the global economy, such as US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, had been good for the firm's consulting business. He also addressed the company's suspension in China last year over its work on the collapsed property giant Evergrande, promising that the same mistakes "would not happen again". Headquartered in London, PwC is one of the Big Four accountancy firms. It provides a range of services, such as financial auditing, consulting and tax advice for business clients around the world. According to Mr Kande, advising them on how to integrate AI into their operations will be at the heart of the firm's future business strategy, even as the rapidly advancing technology affects its own hiring plans. Firms who would have previously hired PwC consultants to sift through data and documents may now use AI models instead, turning weeks of costly work into mere minutes. Every year, the company hires thousands of new graduates in entry-level positions - including 1,300 in the UK and 3,200 in the US last year - but it recently dropped long-term plans to continue increasing its headcount. In 2021, PwC said it wanted to hire 100,000 people over the course of five years - but Mr Kande said this would no longer be possible.

Streaming platform Twitch added to Australia's teen social m
Streaming platform Twitch added to Australia's teen social media ban 4 days ago Share Save Lana Lam Sydney Share Save Getty Images Twitch is the latest platform to be included in Australia's teen social media ban Twitch, a streaming platform popular with gamers, has been added to Australia's teen social media ban that starts next month. It joins other platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat that must ensure under-16s cannot open accounts and that existing ones are closed from 10 December. Australia's internet regulator overseeing the ban said Twitch - owned by Amazon -had been included as its main purpose was "online social interaction" where users were encouraged to chat to each other about posted content. A Twitch spokesperson said Australians under 16 will not be able to open a Twitch account from 10 December and that from 9 January existing under-16s accounts will be deactivated. On her reasons why Twitch had been included, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said it was "a platform most commonly used for livestreaming or posting content that enables users, including Australian children, to interact with others in relation to the content posted". No more platforms are expected to be added to the ban before the start date next month, Ms Inman Grant said. The government has previously said the ban was aimed at reducing the "pressures and risks" children can be exposed to on social media, including harmful content. Founded in 2007, Twitch is a popular livestreaming platform, where people typically play video games while chatting to viewers. Last year, it launched plans to share more of its revenue with creators as part of a shake-up, allowing streamers to make money through fans subscribing to their channel. The revenue is split equally between Twitch and the creator, after fees are paid. Twitch's policy forbids anyone under 13 to use its platform, and users aged between 13 and the legal age of adulthood in their country can only join if they have permission from their parent or guardian.

Why an AI 'godfather' is quitting Meta after 12 years | Hovi
Why an AI 'godfather' is quitting Meta after 12 years 5 days ago Share Save Liv McMahon Technology reporter Share Save Getty Images Prof LeCun is known for advancing the deep learning field of AI, and for his jazzy bowties Just a couple of weeks ago, one of the "godfathers" of artificial intelligence was in St James's Palace being handed an award from King Charles for his work in artificial intelligence (AI). Professor Yann LeCun was being honoured along with six other recipients for his contributions to the field, which have been credited as advancing deep learning. But Mr LeCun is at odds with some of the AI world over the future of the generation-defining technology. And now he is going all-in on his idea of "advanced machine intelligence" after announcing he is leaving his role as Meta's chief AI scientist to start a new firm. During his 12 years at the company, Prof LeCun won the prestigious Turing Award and witnessed several flurries of excitement around AI - not least the most recent boom in generative AI accelerated by rival OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. But his departure comes amid speculation the AI boom could meet an abrupt end should the so-called "AI bubble" of ballooning valuations and soaring spending burst. Investors, analysts and even big tech bosses like Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai have said a market correction to the AI sector would ripple across the wider economy. What LeCun thinks the AI world gets wrong Prof LeCun announced his planned departure from Meta on Wednesday after more than a week of rumours and reports of his exit. In a series of posts on Threads, he thanked the company's founder Mark Zuckerberg and highlighted its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) lab as his "proudest non-technical accomplishment". "As many of you have heard through rumours or recent media articles, I am planning to leave Meta after 12 years: 5 years as founding director of FAIR and 7 years as Chief AI Scientist," he wrote.

Deepfake 'nudify' site fined £55,000 over lack of age checks
Deepfake 'nudify' site fined £55,000 over lack of age checks 5 days ago Share Save Liv McMahon Technology reporter Share Save Getty Images The operator of a so-called "nudification" site has been fined for failing to put in age verification measures, which are required under online safety laws. The regulator Ofcom investigated Itai Tech Ltd, which provides AI tools allowing users to edit images to seemingly remove someone's clothing. On Thursday, Ofcom said it had fined the company £50,000 for its age check failings, plus an additional £5,000 for not responding to its information requests. BBC News has contacted Itai Tech Ltd for comment. The nudity website it runs is currently not accessible from a UK IP address., and documents on Companies House show Itai Tech Ltd recently applied to strike itself off the UK register of companies. Ofcom said its fine accounted for the company's decision to make its site unavailable to UK users, which it said occurred shortly after the investigation started in May. "The use of highly effective age assurance to protect children from harmful pornographic content is non-negotiable and we will accept no excuses for failure," said Suzanne Cater, director of enforcement at Ofcom. "Any service which fails to meet their age-check duties under the Online Safety Act can expect to face robust enforcement action, including significant fines."

Ford boss: 'Now is not the time to tax electric vehicles' 5 days ago Share Save Josh Martin , business reporter and Sean Farrington , business presenter Share Save Ford UK boss says 'now is not the time' for pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles Taxes on electric vehicles may put drivers off buying them at a time when demand has "lost momentum", Ford's UK boss has warned. It comes after the BBC reported Chancellor Rachel Reeves could be considering new levies on EVs in the upcoming Budget. Ford UK's managing director Lisa Brankin told the BBC: "It's certainly not the right time to do it." A Treasury spokesperson said: "Fuel duty covers petrol and diesel, but there's no equivalent for electric vehicles. We want a fairer system for all drivers." The chancellor has been reported to be considering a new pay-per-mile charge for electric vehicles from 2028. Ms Brankin told the BBC's Big Boss Interview podcast: "That [policy], in the face of really fragile demand for electric vehicles, is just another brake." The admin task of calculating their mileage would put potential EV owners off making the switch, she says. "It's really easy to sell people things they want," she says. "It's hard to sell people things they don't want. "Electric vehicles in some instances have gone from being a great thing to being something that we're trying to push people into."

Lack of online age verification sparks concern | HovicTech I
Lack of online age verification sparks concern 5 days ago Share Save Ammar Ebrahim Jersey political reporter Share Save BBC A review by politicians has found age verification restrictions introduced in the UK did not protect children in Jersey Politicians have expressed concern for children's safety after a review found there was no age verification on adult sites in Jersey. The UK introduced age verification on porn sites in July to make it harder for under-18s to see explicit material. The review by the education scrutiny panel found assumptions UK regulations would indirectly protect children in Jersey were not wholly correct, meaning "children in Jersey may now face fewer barriers to accessing inappropriate content than their UK counterparts". Responding to the review, Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel said legislation was being drafted that would allow people to have harmful content removed. Deputy Morel had told the children's scrutiny panel in May the government had not been looking at introducing age verification for adult sites in Jersey. "The reality is that, if the UK brings in age verification for pornography or any sites, anyone in Jersey wanting to access them is probably going to have to engage with that UK age verification system of where we sit today," he said. "That is the truth of it." In a speech to the States Assembly about the review on 11 November, deputy Catherine Curtis said: "On the day that age verification measures came into force in the UK, we checked whether they were also in place in Jersey and they were not. "The evidence shows that due to children's curiosity they will access this sort of thing at a young age. "Surveys show that one in 10 children will have accessed adult porn sites by the time they are nine years old." Responding, Morel said online safety was important and the review was "incredibly helpful". "There is legislation in progress within the government and one of those pieces of legislation... will enable people of all ages to be able to have harmful content removed," he said.

Instagram to start closing Australian teen accounts ahead of
Instagram to start closing Australian teen accounts ahead of social media ban Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the "world-leading" ban was aimed at "letting kids be kids". Meta and other firms oppose the measure but said they would comply. The ban in Australia comes into force on 10 December. It affects a number of platforms which also include TikTok, YouTube, X and Reddit. Meta, which owns the three brands, said it had begun notifying users it believes to be between 13 and 15 years old by text, email and in-app messages that their accounts would start being deactivated from 4 December. Younger Australian teenagers on Instagram, Facebook and Threads are being told their accounts will be shut down ahead of the country's social media ban for under-16s. Australia's internet regulator has estimated there are 150,000 Facebook users and 350,000 teens on Instagram in the 13-15 age bracket. From 4 December, children aged below 16 will not be able to create accounts on Meta's social media platforms. The company said it was asking young users to update their contact details so they could be notified when they became eligible to open an account. They can download and save their posts, videos and messages before their accounts are shut down. Meta said that teens who said they were old enough to use Instagram, Facebook and Threads could challenge the restriction by taking a "video selfie" to be used in facial age scans. They could also provide a driver's licence or other government issued-ID. All these verification methods were tested by the UK-based Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) earlier this year, in a report commissioned by the Australian state. While the ACCS said that all methods had their merits, it added: "We did not find a single ubiquitous solution that would suit all use cases, nor did we find solutions that were guaranteed to be effective in all deployments." Social media platforms which fail to take "reasonable steps" to block under-16s face fines of up to A$50m (£25m).

Major League Baseball signs deals with Netflix, ESPN and NBC
Major League Baseball signs deals with Netflix, ESPN and NBCUniversal The three-year agreements will help the league expand its reach, said Baseball Commissioner Robert D Manfred Jr. Media companies ESPN and NBCUniversal also have acquired rights to other MLB-related programmes. Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, will air special baseball events that draw millions of viewers each year. These include the league's opening night exclusive and its Home Run Derby, where players compete to hit the most home runs. America's Major League Baseball (MLB) has signed a slew of deals with broadcast and streaming giants to show select games for the next three seasons. Starting with the 2026 season, the new deal will grant ESPN the rights to MLB.TV, its on-demand service that lets viewers watch teams outside their local region, said MLB on Wednesday. It did not give details on the expected subscription fees for MLB.TV or on the value of the three agreements. Comcast-owned NBCUniversal, meanwhile, will take over the Sunday night games, bringing back regular games to its network for the first time in a quarter of a century. As part of the deal, Netflix will also air the World Baseball Classic in Japan. The agreements will spread MLB coverage across a variety of platforms. Fox Sports will continue to air the World Series and other games, while Apple TV will stream Friday Night Baseball's back-to-back matches. The deals were a result of ESPN reportedly opting out of the final three seasons of its contract this year, which would have given the channel the rights to many of these MLB programmes. The contract would have cost ESPN more than $1.5bn (£1.15bn) over the next three seasons. ESPN's opting-out led to drawn-out negotiations with the league and multiple platforms to show its matches.

Judge rules Meta doesn't have monopoly after Instagram, What
Judge rules Meta doesn't have monopoly after Instagram, WhatsApp acquisitions The company hailed the decision in a statement provided to the BBC, saying it "recognizes that Meta faces fierce competition." "The Court ultimately concludes that the agency has not carried its burden: Meta holds no monopoly in the relevant market," wrote Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday. The decision hands a defeat to the Federal Trade Commission, the US antitrust watchdog, which sued Meta in 2020 claiming the company secured a monopoly in social media by purchasing its rivals. A US district judge in Washington has ruled that Facebook-parent Meta Platforms did not violate antitrust laws with its acquisitions of photo-sharing app Instagram and messaging service WhatsApp more than a decade ago. In April, Judge Boasberg presided over a lengthy bench trial that featured testimony from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg who argued that TikTok and YouTube had shaken up the social media landscape. In his decision, Judge Boasberg noted that the FTC reviewed and approved of Meta's 2012 acquisition of Instagram and the 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp. The agency had argued the company overpaid when it purchased Instagram for $1 billion and WhatsApp for $19 billion. Judge Boasberg described a constantly changing social media landscape, "with apps surging and receding, chasing one craze and moving on from others, and adding new features with each passing year. Even if Meta enjoyed monopoly power in the past, he said the FTC failed to show "that it continues to hold such power now" as Meta's market share "seems to be shrinking." In a statement to the BBC, the FTC indicated it wasn't certain whether it plans to appeal. "We are deeply disappointed in this decision," said Joe Simonson, director of Public Affairs at the FTC, who added the agency was reviewing all of its options. Simonson also told the BBC that "the deck was always stacked against us with Judge Boasberg," who has clashed multiple times with the Trump administration and is facing an effort by congressional Republicans to have him impeached.

Nvidia shares rise after strong results ease 'AI bubble' concerns 5 days ago Share Save Danielle Kaye Business reporter Share Save Getty Images Chief executive Jensen Huang said sales for some of Nvidia's AI components were "off the charts" Chip giant Nvidia has reported stronger-than-expected revenues, easing investor concerns about heavy artificial intelligence (AI) spending that have unsettled markets. The company said revenue for the three months to October jumped 62% to $57bn, driven by demand for its chips used in AI data centres. Sales from that division rose 66% to more than $51bn. Fourth-quarter sales forecasts in the range of $65bn also topped estimates, sending shares in Nvidia about 4% higher in after-hours trading. "There's been a lot of talk about an AI bubble. From our vantage point, we see something very different," said chief executive Jensen Huang. In a statement, Mr Huang said sales of its AI Blackwell systems were "off the charts" and that "cloud GPUs [graphics processing units] are sold out". "We excel at every phase of AI." Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, makes chips that are crucial for AI data centres and is seen as a bellwether for the AI boom. Its latest results were under even more attention than usual on Wall Street amid mounting concern that AI stocks are overvalued - fears that may persist despite the blockbuster results. Those fears had fuelled four consecutive daily drops in the S&P 500 index leading up to Wednesday, as questions swirl about returns on AI investments. The benchmark index has fallen nearly 3% so far in November. Some analysts have compared the surge in AI stocks to the dotcom boom of the late 1990s. This saw the values of early internet companies soar amid a wave of optimism over the then-new technology before the bubble burst in early 2000. This collapse in share prices led to some companies going bust, and also hit the value of people's savings including their pension funds. The bar was high heading into Nvidia's results.

Roblox blocks children from chatting to adult strangers 6 days ago Share Save Shiona McCallum Senior Tech Reporter Share Save Getty Images Children will no longer be able to chat to adult strangers on Roblox - one of the world's most popular gaming platforms - as part of an expansion of its safety measures. Mandatory age checks will be introduced for accounts using chat features, starting in December for Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands, then the rest of the globe from January. Roblox has faced criticism for allowing youngsters to access inappropriate content and communicate with adults, and is being sued over child safety concerns in several US states. The launch also comes just ahead of Australia's social media ban for under-16s - the government is under pressure to include gaming platforms such as Roblox. In March, the chief executive of Roblox, Dave Baszucki, said in a BBC interview that the company went to great lengths to keep children safe. However he also urged parents to be guided by their own instincts. "My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox," he said. "That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions." 'Deliver change' Rani Govender, policy manager for child safety online at the NSPCC, said action had been needed because young people had been exposed to "unacceptable risks" on Roblox, "leaving many vulnerable to harm and online abuse." The charity welcomed the platform's latest announcement but called on Roblox to "ensure they deliver change for children in practice and prevent adult perpetrators from targeting and manipulating young users." The platform averaged more than 80 million daily players in 2024, about 40% of them under the age of 13.
