A breach you should act on, and a bank app rule change

A large customer data breach needs action this week, a new rule changes how bank apps verify you, and a chip announcement explained in terms of what reaches your phone and when.

About the show

Patch Notes Weekly is a technology news show for people who use technology rather than worship it. Reza Pratama, who covered Southeast Asia's start-up and telecoms scene for years, picks the week's developments that will change something real, such as a regulation that affects how your bank app works, a chip announcement that will reach your phone in two years, a data breach you need to act on, or a platform policy change for small sellers, and explains each one in plain language with a clear note on who is affected. He skips launch hype and product keynotes unless there is a reason to care. The format is a solo briefing of 25 to 30 minutes with a regular segment of listener questions from Jakarta, Lagos, Manila and Dubai, because the technology story looks different outside California. New episodes every Monday. For anyone who wants to keep up without a feed full of noise.
