Coinbase says cyber attack will cost $400m, Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 reviewed

One of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency firms, Coinbase, says a recent cyber attack will cost it up to $400m (£301m). The firm said it was contacted by hackers who claimed to have gained access to customer information, obtained by making payments to Coinbase contractors and employees. In blog post Coinbase said the criminals had gained access to “less than 1%” of its customer data, which they then used to impersonate the firm and trick people into handing over their crypto. The group then demanded $20m from Coinbase to keep it quiet – but it refused to pay the bribe and instead promised to pay back every person who got scammed. BBC

Tens of thousands of British businesses could have hackers waiting inside their systems – all because of a change in the business model of hacking. Luxury fashion brand Dior is the latest retailer to announce that some of its customer data has been stolen by attackers, and M&S is still suffering the effects of an attack that started in April. On Tuesday, the British retailer revealed customer data had been stolen, although “usable” payment details and passwords were not taken. Online shopping remains unavailable at M&S and recruitment has been paused while the company tries to get the effects of the attack under control. Sky News

After months of speculation, the Sony WH-1000XM6 are finally official, and the Japanese tech giant thinks you’ll like what its new flagship wireless headphones offer. At the recent European launch for the £400 / €450 / $449 / AU$699 headphones, Sony Europe’s Head of Personal Entertainment Product Group, Adrian Price-Hunt, said they were “the best noise-cancelling product in the market.” Strong words, given the market boasts some big competition from some big players – Bose and Bowers & Wilkins, to name but two.
