OPINION - Tech & Science Daily podcast: Cybercrime gang’s ultimatum to major British companies

The cybercrime gang, Clop, has warned major British companies such as the BBC, Boots and BA to email them before 14th June, or stolen data from over 100,000 staff will be published.

Earlier this week the UK’s leading payroll provider Zellis said that eight of its customers have been impacted by the “global issue”, which may have exposed personal information, including names, addresses, and banking details.

The BBC, BA and Aer Lingus have all issued statements regarding the data breach.

Netflix users have discovered a way to bypass the platform’s password-sharing ban.

The trick was first shared on Reddit’s Unethical Life Pro Tips channel, but has since surfaced on other places online.

The release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Series 3 is just a few days away and developers Epic Games have dropped a new teaser clip.

We also look at some of the rumours about what to expect from the next big era of the game franchise.

And the rest

Scientists spot organic molecules in a galaxy 12 billion light-years away, AI can now summarise your Zoom calls for you, and a piece of timber discovered by chance is thought to be the oldest carved wood found in Britain.

Plus, scientists may have found a way for psychedelic drugs to treat depression without causing hallucinations, and what happened when Charlie Brooker got ChatGPT to write a Black Mirror episode.
