Hello and welcome to Patch Notes Weekly, I am Reza Pratama, and this is the technology news filtered for what actually matters. This week there is a data breach that I am going to ask you to act on, because most of them you can ignore and this one you cannot. I will tell you what was taken, how to check if you are affected and the three things to do today. Then a rule change that will alter how your bank app checks that you are you, which is arriving quietly in several countries at once. There is a chip announcement that I will translate into the only question that matters, which is when it reaches your pocket. And we have listener questions from Manila and Lagos about cheap phones and updates. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
