Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A database of personal information stolen from AT&T last year has appeared online after hackers appeared to sell it to Russian cybercriminals, according to Jasdev Dhaliwal, a consumer security and online privacy at antivirus software developer McAfee, told AT&T customers that they were at risk of having their phone numbers, email addresses, and even social security numbers accessed by hackers, and that "now is the time to take action." In a statement shared with McAfee, AT&T said: "After analysis by our internal teams as well as external data consultants, we are confident this is repackaged data previously released on the dark web in March 2024. Affected customers were notified at that time. We have notified law enforcement of this latest development."

Ukraine's outgoing ground forces chief says his command was mired in 'managerial stagnation' when he joined
The outgoing chief of Ukraine's ground forces said on Wednesday that his command was in a "state of managerial stagnation" when he first took his post in November. Writing on social media on Wednesday, Mykhailo Drapatyi listed a slew of issues he discovered last year, including an "atmosphere of fear, lack of initiative, closure to feedback, indifference to personnel problems, a facade of discipline, a deep gap between headquarters and units." Drapatyi wrote that he replaced half of the leaders under him, slamming what he said was systematic abuse, staffing decisions based on connections, and chaos within the officer ranks. "There was not even a trace of a developmental spirit in command," Drapatyi added. The remarks from Drapatyi, who led Kyiv's land forces for roughly six months, reflect an oft-discussed frustration in Ukraine's military that it was thrown into war with an outdated structure and culture that cleaved to old Soviet habits. Ukraine has urgently tried to initiate changes as it battles Russia on its own borders. Drapatyi, a 42-year-old general, was appointed command in November as part of a younger wave of leaders aimed at facilitating reform. "I worked to break this system," he wrote on Wednesday. Drapatyi said one of his focuses was reshaping Ukraine's training divisions, which he said also saw half of its leading officers removed. Additionally, the general said he had to bring digitalization to training management and logistics systems, and introduced "psychological support tools" for soldiers. "The Command of the Ground Forces is only at the beginning of change. A system does not change in a few months, but the vector has already been set, the team assembled, and the approaches revised," he added. Drapatyi stepped down from his post on June 1 in the aftermath of a Russian strike on a Dnipro training ground that killed 12 Ukrainians. While announcing his resignation, Drapatyi blamed himself for the deaths of the soldiers, calling them young Ukrainians who were "supposed to learn, live, fight— not die." "The behavior of fighters matters, but the main responsibility always lies with the command," he wrote. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy summoned Drapatyi for a meeting on June 3, after which the latter was reassigned to the commander of the Joint Forces of Ukraine, another military branch that reports to the General Staff. Zelenskyy said that in his new role, Drapatyi would focus "exclusively on combat issues." Shortly after Zelenskyy's announcement, Drapatyi wrote that he would "remain in the ranks" and take on the new position assigned by the president. "I am stepping down with a clear conscience," he wrote on Wednesday.
