Tesla spent more than a year touting that “more affordable” cars were on the way, and they finally arrived last October, with stripped-down versions of the Model Y and Model 3 starting at $39,990 and $36,990, respectively. But the new vehicles are not moving the needle much for Tesla’s overall sales, first-quarter figures show. Tesla said Thursday that it delivered 358,023 EVs globally in the first three months of the year, below analysts’ expectations of around 368,000. The company also produced far more than it sold, with the final tally built coming in at 408,386. This means Tesla only delivered…

A publicly accessible Amazon-hosted storage server allowed anyone with a web browser to access potentially hundreds of thousands of people’s personal data without needing a password. This included driver’s licenses, passports, and other personal information collected by the Duc App, a money-transfer service owned by Toronto-based Duales.

The data was also stored unencrypted, meaning anyone with a link to the data was able to view it…

That turns a cyber incident into a real world problem with immediate financial damage. The same research found that 23% of the most severe downtime incidents cost over £1m, and 6% go past £5m. Among firms that…

The airline stepped in to run the flights on a short-term basis on November 23 last year after the previous operator, Eastern Airways, announced it was on the brink of entering administration.

In a statement on its website, the airline blamed “circumstances beyond our control” for the cancellations. It added: “We…
