All users, however, are urged to be vigilant, update passwords and enable two factor authentication. TikTok parent company ByteDance plans a new employee share buyback program, valuing the company at over 330 billion doll up from $315 billion six months ago. The increase is due to 25% year on year revenue growth in the second quarter reaching $48 billion, mainly from the Chinese market. The buyback, expected to come sometime this fall, reinforces ByteDance's status as the top social media company by revenue, despite pressure to sell its US operations.

YouTube TV and Fox have reached a temporary agreement to keep Fox channels, including Fox News and Fox Sports available to subscribers.

Credit reporting agency TransUnion announced a data breach impacting over 4.4 million customers due to an unauthorized access to a third party application. While TransUnion states no credit information was accessed, they haven't provided proof or specified the type of personal data stolen.

Though the Transusion perpetrators are unknown, the US Commerce Department is now distributing US GDP data on public blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. This initiative, which places a cryptographic hash of the data on the blockchains for integrity verification, is an additional channel for publishing economic data, not a replacement. This move signifies the US Government's endorsement of blockchain technology. Mike Cahill, CEO of Doro Labs, noted that this development means government data now lives on blockchains allowing real time market participation.
