More WNBA games interrupted by sex toys thrown onto the court
The WNBA is still struggling with a string of sex-toy disturbances. In the past week and a half, sex toys have been thrown on court during games in Atlanta on July 29, Chicago on Aug. 1, Los Angeles on Aug. 5 and Chicago again on Thursday night, with the most recent object hitting the court in the closing seconds of the Atlanta Dream's victory over the Sky. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The sex toy that landed on the court in Los Angeles nearly hit Fever guard Sophie Cunningham during Indiana's game against the Sparks. Sex toys were also thrown at games in New York and Phoenix last Tuesday but didn't reach the court. Police say another toy was thrown at a game in Atlanta on Aug. 1, although it's unclear if that one reached the court. The distractions have created unexpected challenges for the league, the teams and the players, but also for arena security. Here's what to know. A man was arrested Saturday in College Park, Georgia, after he was accused of throwing a sex toy onto the court during the Atlanta Dream's July 29 matchup with the Golden State Valkyries, according to a police report. The report said he threw another sex toy during the Dream's Aug. 1 game against the Phoenix Mercury, but that instance did not seem to result in a delay of play. He is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, public indecency and indecent exposure. All four charges are misdemeanors in the state of Georgia, meaning that if he is convicted, the punishment for each can be a fine of up to $1,000 or jail time of up to 12 months. A misdemeanor for public indecency and indecent exposure may also require registration on the state's sex offender list. The report said the man told police 'this was supposed to be a joke and the joke (was) supposed to go viral.'` Another man in Phoenix was arrested after police say he threw a sex toy in the crowd at a Mercury game on Tuesday. Police say the 18-year-old pulled the sex toy from his sweater pocket and threw it toward seats in front of him, striking a spectator in the back. The man later told police it was a prank that had been trending on social media and that he bought the toy a day earlier to take to the game. He was later tackled by a volunteer at the arena who had witnessed the incident and began following him as the man tried to leave the arena. Police say the man was arrested on suspicion of assault, disorderly conduct and publicly displaying explicit sexual material. The New York Liberty told The Associated Press on Thursday night that there is an ongoing investigation into the throwing in New York and the team is cooperating with law enforcement. The types of sex toys being thrown onto the court generally do not include metal elements, meaning that arena metal detectors are not able to sense them. When carried on a spectator's body, they become even more difficult to detect. Arena security teams face challenges in catching these items, according to Ty Richmond, the president of the event services division at Allied Universal Security, a company that provides security services to certain NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB and MLS arenas across the country. 'Not all stadiums are using a screening process that's consistent and can detect (the sex toys) because of what it would require — pat down searches, opening the bags, prohibiting bags,' he said. 'The conflict of expediency, of getting fans into the arena and into the venue, which is an important issue, and security and safety.' The limits of arena security make legal action one of the strongest deterrents for this kind of behavior, Richmond said. 'The decision to prosecute and show examples of how people are being handled is very important,' he said. 'Without a doubt, I think it will make a difference. The application of it is important, and publicizing that is important.' There have not been any arrests made yet for the in Los Angeles and Chicago. In a statement to the AP, the Sparks said they are 'working with arena personnel to identify the individual responsible and ensure appropriate action is taken.' The WNBA has said that any spectators throwing objects onto the court will face a minimum one-year ban and prosecution from law enforcement. As the disturbances pile up, those on the court have become increasingly frustrated. 'Everyone is trying to make sure the W is not a joke and it's taken seriously, and then that happens,' Cunningham said on her podcast after nearly being hit by one of the sex toys on Tuesday. 'I'm like, 'How are we ever going to get taken seriously?'' No other professional sports leagues have faced sex toy disturbances like this. It has started a conversation online about the perpetrators' choices to throw them during games in a women's league and a league with a high-profile amount of lesbian and queer players. 'This has been going on for centuries, the sexualization of women. This is the latest version of that. It's not funny. It should not be the butt of jokes,' said Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve Thursday. 'The sexualization of women is what's used to hold women down, and this is no different.' Despite the criminal behavior leading to arrests, at least one crypto-based predictions market is offering trades essentially allowing users to wager on whether sex toys will be thrown at future WNBA games. Players have also been sounding off on social media, echoing concerns about arena security protocols. Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison posted on X last week, saying 'ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??! Please do better. It's not funny. Never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous.' [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

AT&T's Massive Privacy Settlement Could Pay Customers Up to $7,500
AT&T's data breach in 2024 was one of the year's five biggest. AT&T/CNET If you were one of the hundreds of millions of people whose personal data was exposed in either or both of AT&T recent privacy breaches, it's almost finally time to receive compensation. On Monday, Aug. 4, Kroll Settlement Administration, the firm managing the company's massive $177 million settlement, announced that the claim process has begun and that eligible customers will need to file claims by Nov. 18, 2025 in order to receive a payout. The settlement, which received preliminary approval from a federal judge in June, is meant to resolve two class-action lawsuits tied to the breaches. If your personal data was compromised in either incident, it's worth checking your eligibility. Submitting a claim could put real money back in your pocket, even if your time with AT&T is long behind you. The settlement prioritizes larger payments to customers who suffered damages that are "fairly traceable" to the data leaks. It will also provide bigger payments to those affected by the larger of the two leaks, which began in 2019. While the company is working toward a settlement, it has continued to deny that it was "responsible for these criminal acts." What happened with these AT&T data breaches? AT&T confirmed the two data breaches last year, announcing an investigation into the first in March before confirming it in May and confirming the second in July. The first of the confirmed breaches began in 2019. The company revealed that about 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former account holders had their data exposed to hackers, including names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. The company began investigating the situation last year after it reported that customer data had appeared on the dark web. The second breach began in April 2024, when a hacker broke into AT&T cloud storage provider Snowflake and accessed 2022 call and text records for almost all of the company's US customers, about 109 million in all. The company stressed that no names were attached to the stolen data. Two people were arrested in connection with the breach. Both of these incidents sparked a wave of class-action lawsuits alleging corporate neglect on the part of AT&T in failing to sufficiently protect its customers. Who is eligible to file a claim for the AT&T data breach settlement? As of now, we know that the settlement will pay out to any current or former AT&T customer whose data was accessed in one of these data breaches, with higher payments reserved for those who can provide documented proof that they suffered damages directly resulting from their data being stolen. If you're eligible, you should receive a notice about it, either by email or a physical letter in the mail. How can I file a claim for my share of the AT&T data breach settlement? On Aug. 4, the Kroll Settlement Administration announced that affected AT&T customers can now file claims against the proposed $177 million settlement. Claims can be filed online at After clicking on Submit Claim on the settlement website, you'll be asked for a Class Member ID. That number should be in the email or mailed notice you received about the settlement. You'll also be asked to provide an email address, your AT&T account number or your full name. If you don't want to file the claim online, you can download and print the PDF forms for either the first data breach announced on March 30, 2024, the second breach announced on July 12, 2024, or the overlap form if you were part of both breaches. Printed and signed forms should be mailed to: AT&T Data Incident Settlement c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 5324 New York, NY 10150-5324. Settlement claims need to be filed by Nov. 18, 2025, or else you'll be left out of the class-action settlement. If you disagree with the settlement and want to opt out so you can sue AT&T yourself, you'll need to do that by Oct. 17, 2025. The final approval process for the proposed settlement will be Dec. 3, 2025. If the settlement is approved in December, payouts to customers are likely to begin in early 2026. How much will the AT&T data breach payments be? You'll have to "reasonably" prove damages caused by these data breaches to be eligible for the highest and most prioritized payouts. For the 2019 breach, those claimants can receive up to $5,000. For the Snowflake breach in 2024, the max payout will be $2,500. Customers impacted by both breaches will be able to apply for both classes of the settlement, and it's possible that they could receive the maximum amount for both, making the maximum payout $7,500. AT&T will focus on making those payments first, and whatever's left of the $177 million settlement total will be disbursed to anyone whose data was accessed, even without proof of damages. Because these payouts depend on how many people get the higher amounts first, we can't say definitively how much they will be.

Baltimore City schools face federal probe into alleged antisemitism
The U.S. Department of Education has opened a civil rights investigation into Baltimore City Public Schools following allegations that the system 'tolerated numerous incidents of antisemitic discrimination and harassment,' the agency said Thursday. The investigation comes after the Anti-Defamation League and a law firm filed a complaint last month describing multiple alleged incidents, including a teacher accused of using a Nazi salute in class.
