How does F1 turn data into insights at 200 mph? AWS is how fans get inside the strategy AWS powers next level innovation for millions of businesses here's your afternoon TNB Tech minute for Wednesday, October 15th. I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal. A security breach linked to Salesforce escalated over the weekend as hackers claimed they published the data of more than 5 million Qantas Airline Airways customers, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth, but not financial data. Hackers claim to have compromised dozens of companies by gaining access to their Salesforce accounts over the summer, including Qantas, Disney, Ikea and Toyota. Hackers threatened to publish customer data unless Salesforce paid a ransom. A Salesforce spokesperson said the company wouldn't engage, negotiate with or pay any extortion demand. The leak appears to be one of the first confirmed data dumps from the hackers. Qantas said it's continuing to investigate. Bank of America highlighted continued momentum from its technology and artificial intelligence investments. In the latest quarterly results, the bank's CEO said digital innovation is driving both client engagement and operational efficiency. The bank pointed to strong growth in loans and deposits alongside rising revenues from fees. ASML posted better than expected orders of its chipmaking equipment for the third quarter amid continued spending in the AI frenzy. The Dutch group reported orders of the equivalent of $6.27 billion. That's more than double from a year earlier. ASML is Europe's largest company by market value. Shares are up nearly 30% so far this year, and Workday plans to invest the equivalent of $202.5 million to set up an AI focused research center in Ireland. The move would create 200 jobs specialized in AI in the country. The business software giant has been working to boost its AI offerings. Last month, it unveiled a slew of human resource and finance agents who can perform tasks for human clients. And that's a wrap on your TNB tech minutes. Check back tomorrow morning for another quick tech update.
