    The first immune-cell therapy for solid tumours, Iovance Biotherapeutics’ lifileucel, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. At least 20 people with advanced melanoma will receive the treatment, which uses cancer-killing immune cells extracted from a person’s own tumour. Researchers hope that the approval will pave the way for cheaper versions —

    **lifileucel costs more than half a million dollars **

    — as well as similar therapies for other cancers, including lung and pancreatic tumours.

    Automakers Are Telling Your Insurance Company How You Really Drive

    Insurance companies have long offered discounts to drivers who'll carry GPS devices or download smartphone apps that track their driving habits. But when wary drivers refuse, insurers find other ways of monitoring their driving. Data brokers like LexisNexus are buying people's car data directly from manufacturers, such as General Motors, which are making a killing by selling it off. This data is then used to create “risk” scores for individual drivers, which insurance providers use to set premiums. The businesses claim the data-sharing is consensual, but most drivers have no idea what's happening. Drivers whose risk scores are shared with insurance providers often see their monthly insurance payments skyrocket.

    All my current vehicles were purchased used and I'm sure I signed no privacy or data agreements with the manufacturer.

    "Trump Media generated just $3.4 million of revenue through the first nine months of last year, according to filings. The company lost $49 million over that span.

    And yet the market is valuing Trump Media at approximately $13 billion."

    The guy in the middle was forced to eat his own ear after they cut it off. The agent who did it then auctioned off the knife used and make thousands of dollars.

    It's not so much what it costs to make but what people are willing to pay for the product. Look at iPhone and Samsung galaxy phones.

    It’s not what we are willing to pay if the entire market is adjusted. They made high prices the “new normal” and we are thus forced to accept it, case in point, cars and as mentioned cell phones in general.

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/att-now-says-data-breach-impacted-51-million-customers/

    When threat actor ShinyHunters first listed the AT&T data for sale in 2021, the company told BleepingComputer that the collection did not belong to them and that their systems had not been breached.

    Last month, when another threat actor known as 'MajorNelson' leaked the entire dataset on the hacking forum, AT&T once again told BleepingComputer that the data did not originate from them and their systems were not breached.

    After BleepingComputer confirmed that the data belonged to AT&T and DirectTV accounts, and TechCrunch reported AT&T passcodes were in the data dump, AT&T finally confirmed that the data belonged to them.

    While the leak contained information for more than 70 million people, AT&T is now saying that it impacted a total of 51,226,382 customers.

    "The [exposed] information varied by individual and account, but may have included full name, email address, mailing address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, AT&T account number and AT&T passcode," reads the notification.

    In an attempt to banish Western cultural influences, authorities in the Republic of Chechnya are banning music they deem too fast or too slow.

    The Chechen Ministry of Culture formally announced the new musical restrictions on April 3, specifying that all musical, vocal, and choreographic works are now required to correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) to “conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm.”
