Odido Hack Data Leaked

/in /tarafından

A hacking group has begun releasing customer information following a major cyberattack on Dutch telecom provider Odido.

The breach reportedly involved personal data linked to millions of users, including contact details and identification-related information. Authorities and cybersecurity specialists are currently investigating the incident.

Odido stated that it will not enter into negotiations with the attackers, aligning with guidance from law enforcement agencies that advise against ransom payments.

Officials noted that compliance with such demands does not guarantee the deletion of compromised data and may encourage further criminal activity.

The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by telecommunications providers in safeguarding sensitive information amid rising cyber threats.

Telekom Criticises EU Reforms

/in /tarafından

Deutsche Telekom’s leadership has voiced concerns over the European Union’s proposed overhaul of telecommunications regulations, arguing that the changes do not go far enough in reducing regulatory burdens.

Executives stated that the planned reforms introduce additional requirements rather than delivering meaningful deregulation. While the proposal includes measures to extend the duration of radio spectrum usage—seen as beneficial for investment planning—it stops short of introducing new financial obligations for large digital platforms that generate significant network traffic.

Telecom operators have long advocated for mechanisms requiring major technology companies to contribute to infrastructure costs. Instead, the EU has proposed a voluntary cooperation approach.

Company representatives expressed uncertainty over how effectively the reforms will address industry priorities, emphasizing the need for clearer policies that encourage long-term network development.

The discussion reflects ongoing tensions between telecom providers and policymakers as Europe seeks to balance investment incentives with regulatory oversight in its digital infrastructure strategy.

OpenAI, Samsung SDS and SK Telecom to Begin Korea Data Center Build

/in /tarafından

OpenAI, Samsung SDS, and SK Telecom are preparing to begin construction of artificial intelligence data centers in South Korea as early as March, according to Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon.

The South Korean government previously said the U.S. startup would form joint ventures with the two Korean firms to develop two facilities with an initial combined capacity of 20 megawatts. The planned infrastructure is intended to support AI model training and deployment, reinforcing South Korea’s role in the global AI supply chain.

SK Telecom confirmed it is in discussions with OpenAI regarding a data center project in the country’s southwest, though the exact timeline for construction remains under review. The collaboration reflects increasing partnerships between U.S. AI developers and Asian technology firms to expand computing capacity amid surging demand.

The initiative comes as major AI companies race to secure power, land, and advanced hardware to support rapidly scaling models. South Korea’s strong semiconductor ecosystem and digital infrastructure make it an attractive base for AI expansion, particularly as governments compete to host next-generation data facilities.
