Twilio, an online communications company, was the subject of a cyberattack earlier this month, but today the company has confirmed that the attack was bigger in scope than it initially announced. The announcement from early August said that 100 Twilio customers had their information accessed by outside sources as a result of Twilio employees being phished. Now the company has announced that 93 Authy app users have also had select information compromised.
Authy is a two-factor authentication app owned by Twilio, so a breach can’t get much worse for consumers than having their security information compromised. Following an internal investigation, Twilio says that 93 accounts were accessed and had additional unauthorized devices added to them. The company confirmed that it had “identified and removed unauthorized devices” from all impacted accounts.
The reason these devices were added was essentially to create devices capable of bypassing specific users’ two-factor authentication in order to gain even more information about their various other accounts that rely on Authy for security. Other than providing the number of accounts that were breached, Twilio didn’t give any specific details regarding what user information may have been accessed through Authy accounts.
The attack seems to be tied to the hacker group “Oktapus” which has laid claim to numerous company information breaches over the last six months, including a breach of DoorDash, which was reported earlier this week.
Twilio says that it has already reached out to all 93 account owners to let them know that were affected by the breach and that their information is at risk. If you didn’t hear from the company, you’re likely a part of the roughly 75 million Authy users that got through the breach unaffected. It’s still not a bad idea to check your Authy account information to make sure that nothing suspicious is going on there.
In addition to changing any passwords associated with your Authy account, Twilio recommends looking in your account settings to “review all devices tied to (your) Authy account” in order to make sure that only authorized devices are connected. The company also advises users to disable the “Allow Multi-Device” setting in their account to restrict the devices linked to it.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
