It’s prevalent enough that the T-Mobile subreddit has asked its users to avoid posting any further information for “security reasons.” Some T-Mobile customers have mentioned seeing information from several other accounts, but the scale of the issue isn’t yet clear. Brandon Hoffman, Chief Information Security Officer at Netenrich, was concerned about the number of successful data breaches on major wireless carriers.He wonders whether the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile was a contributing factor. Multiple T-Mobile customers on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit have reported that they’re able to see other users’ account data - including their current credit balance, purchase history, credit card information, and home address - when signing into their own T-Mobile accounts.

As a result of data breaches, it is estimated that in first half of 2018 alone, about 4.5 billion records were exposed. It was announced in May that T-Mobile suffered its second data breach of 2023, after a hack revealed the PINs, full names, and phone numbers of over 800. It is estimated that the average cost of a data breach will be over $150 million by 2020, with the global annual cost forecast to be $2.1 trillion. 95% of data breaches come from government, retail, or technology industries. The bureaus will require information to verify your identity, such as Social Security number, a copy of a photo ID and proof of residence to approve the. Most reported breaches are in North America, at least in part because of relatively strict disclosure laws in North American countries. We take the protection of our customers very seriously and we are conducting an extensive analysis alongside digital forensic experts to understand the. ![]() ![]() In addition, the various methods used in the breaches are listed, with hacking being the most common. We have been working around the clock to investigate claims being made that T-Mobile data may have been illegally accessed. Dec 28, 2021, 3:30 PM PST Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge T-Mobile has suffered another cyberattack after being rocked by a massive data breach in August. To say we are disappointed and frustrated that this happened is an understatement. Breaches of large organizations where the number of records is still unknown are also listed. Fortunately, the breach did not expose any customer financial information, credit card information, debit or other payment information but, like so many breaches before, some SSN, name, address, date of birth and driver’s license/ID information was compromised. The list includes those involving the theft or compromise of 30,000 or more records, although many smaller breaches occur continually. This is a list of data breaches, using data compiled from various sources, including press reports, government news releases, and mainstream news articles. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. Janu (Bellevue, Wash.)

CBT-e added questions on International Financial Reporting Standards to the exam for the first time along with “other sweeping and significant changes” per NASBA messaging at the time. I was working in CPA review at the time and remember it well because students were stampeding into the exam so they could sit before the big CBT-e change in 2011. ![]() So unique CPA exam candidates have decreased 34.2% since the last high in 2016 and 35% since the peak in 2010 and the number is the lowest it’s been in the 17 years included in the Trends report. Let’s look at the data going back to 2006. Uniques are probably the most important metric here as unique candidates represent overall interest in sitting for the exam. Given how ashy the pipeline is at the moment, it could be a lot worse. 2021 to 2022 that’s a 6% decrease in new CPA candidates, a 6.8% decrease in unique candidates, and a 3.6% decrease in 4th sections passed. These numbers are of course all down from 2021 - 32,186 new CPA candidates, 72,271 uniques, 19,544 candidates who passed their 4th section for 2021 - and very, very down from 2016’s high of 48,004 new candidates, 102,291 unique candidates, and 27,889 candidates who passed their 4th section that year but we expected that. ![]() In a vacuum the 2022 numbers aren’t terrible - 30,251 new CPA candidates, 67,336 unique CPA candidates, and 18,847 CPA candidates who passed their 4th section that year. Today we’re going to look at CPA exam candidate numbers. As you may already know the 2023 AICPA Trends report is out, here’s our earlier write-up on how many accounting degrees were completed for the 2021-22 period covered in the new report (saving you a click: it’s 65,035). ![]() If the rate of fusion goes up, the rate at which energy is being generated also increases, and the luminosity of the star gradually rises. For the proton-proton cycle described in The Sun: A Nuclear Powerhouse, the rate of fusion goes up roughly as the temperature to the fourth power. As the temperature gets hotter, each proton acquires more energy of motion on average this means it is more likely to interact with other protons, and as a result, the rate of fusion also increases. ![]() When a star’s luminosity and temperature begin to change, the point that represents the star on the H–R diagram moves away from the zero-age main sequence.Ĭalculations show that the temperature and density in the inner region slowly increase as helium accumulates in the center of a star. This change of composition changes the luminosity, temperature, size, and interior structure of the star. It does, however, change the chemical composition in its central regions where nuclear reactions occur: hydrogen is gradually depleted, and helium accumulates. Since only 0.7% of the hydrogen used in fusion reactions is converted into energy, fusion does not change the total mass of the star appreciably during this long period. The zero-age main sequence is a continuous line in the H–R diagram that shows where stars of different masses but similar chemical composition can be found when they begin to fuse hydrogen. We use the term zero-age to mark the time when a star stops contracting, settles onto the main sequence, and begins to fuse hydrogen in its core. The left-hand edge of the main-sequence band in the H–R diagram is called the zero-age main sequence (see Figure 21.12). Some astronomers like to call the main-sequence phase the star’s “prolonged adolescence” or “adulthood” (continuing our analogy to the stages in a human life). Thus, all stars remain on the main sequence for most of their lives. Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in stars, this process can maintain the star’s equilibrium for a long time. Once a star has reached the main-sequence stage of its life, it derives its energy almost entirely from the conversion of hydrogen to helium via the process of nuclear fusion in its core (see The Sun: A Nuclear Powerhouse). We have already used the H–R diagram to follow the evolution of protostars up to the time they reach the main sequence. One of the best ways to get a “snapshot” of a group of stars is by plotting their properties on an H–R diagram. Describe what happens to main-sequence stars of various masses as they exhaust their hydrogen supply.By the end of this section, you will be able to: |
