T-Mobile fined $60M for unauthorized access to data
Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) fined T-Mobile $60 million, its largest penalty ever, for failing to prevent and report unauthorized access to sensitive data during its post-merger integration with Sprint. The fine was imposed due to T-Mobile's violation of a mitigation agreement tied to its $23 billion acquisition of Sprint in 2020.
The breaches occurred in 2020 and 2021, affecting data from a small number of law enforcement requests.

Google Messages is adding support for dual SIM RCS, once again
Back in January, there were some reports of dual SIM RCS support in Google Messages, but it was eventually pulled. The capability looks to be rolling back out again, with one new report from a Messages beta user on the Nothing Phone 2.
There are two SIM cards “Connected” in RCS setting, while there’s a new “Backup format for sending attachments” setting that says “SMS with a link.” This sounds like the Google Photos video upload feature that was quietly removed last year. A return would be unexpected.

[Brazil-only] Problems downloading Proton and other VPNs from the iOS app store
Proton VPN users in Brazil are experiencing issues downloading the app from the iOS App Store, along with multiple other VPNs in the Brazilian App Store. Proton said that the issue is not on their end but likely with Apple's App Store. The issue is either accidental, or Apple is secretly implementing a censorship order.
As a workaround for iOS users, Proton suggests trying the iOS beta version via Testflight, or a manual WireGuard setup can be used to access the VPN servers. Proton VPN apps are still available on all other platforms in Brazil, and other Proton apps like Proton Mail, Drive, and Pass remain unaffected.

Google Play will no longer pay to discover vulnerabilities in popular Android apps
Google has decided to wind down the Google Play Security Reward Program. In an email to participating developers, such as Sean Pesce, the company announced that the GPSRP will end on August 31st, after nearly seven years.
The reason they gave is that the program has seen a decrease in the number of actionable vulnerabilities reported. Google credits this success to the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.”

Amazon considers moving Amazon Pay into a standalone app in India
Amazon is considering launching a standalone app for its payments service, Amazon Pay, in India to increase its usage and recognition. Currently integrated within Amazon's e-commerce app, Amazon Pay offers various financial services but hasn't gained significant traction, ranking sixth in the market.
The idea of decoupling the service has been under consideration for about a year, but the plan is not yet finalized. Amazon faces tough competition in India, with rivals like Walmart's PhonePe and Google Pay dominating the market.

Instagram is testing vertical profile grids — and knows that might mess up layouts
Instagram is testing a change to profile grids, switching squares to vertical rectangles to better fit modern content. The test is limited, and Instagram will consider user feedback before a wider rollout.

Instagram is testing a change to profile grids, switching squares to vertical rectangles to better fit modern content. The test is limited, and Instagram will consider user feedback before a wider rollout.
Here’s a trannoscription of Mosseri’s story:
We’re actually testing a vertical grid, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, for your profile, instead of squares. Now, squares are from way back in the day when you can only upload square photos to Instagram. I know this can be annoying for some of you who really spent a lot of time curating and making sure everything lines up, but I would really like to do better by the content today. The vast majority of what is uploaded to Instagram today is vertical. It’s either 4 by 3 in a photo or 9 by 16 in a video, and cropping it down to square is pretty brutal. So, I’m hoping we can figure out a way to manage this transition.
