  • Data from 73 Million AT&T Accounts Leaked: What You Can Do to Protect Yourself

    Data from 73 Million AT&T Accounts Leaked: What You Can Do to Protect Yourself

    AT&T on Saturday said the data of 73 million current and former customers is on the dark web. The data, including Social Security numbers, appears to be from 2019 or earlier, AT&T said in a statement, and includes personal information for approximately 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former customers.

    The leak first came to light in 2021, when hackers claimed they’d stolen customer data from AT&T and would put the information up for sale. Fast forward to March 2024, the stolen customer data — which may include customer names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers and dates of birth — was discovered on the dark web, according to Troy Hunt, creator of Have I Been Pwned.

    In response, AT&T said it has contacted the 7.6 million current customers and reset their passcodes. Whether you’re in the smaller set of current customers or the larger group of former account holders who think you’re data been stolen in the breach, you can take steps to potentially lessen the damage. Read on for what you can do. AT&T didn’t immediately respond to CNET’s request for comment.

    For more, here’s our picks for the best identity theft protection and monitoring services and how Consumer Report’s permission slip can help you take control of your online data.

    What to know about the AT&T data breach

    AT&T on March 30 said that personal information of 73 million current and former customers — including Social Security numbers — was leaked in the middle of the month to the dark web. Bleeping Computer’s 2021 report of the leak said the stolen information also includes names, addresses, phone numbers and birth dates. AT&T said the information doesn’t appear to contain personal financial information or call history.

    AT&T said the stolen information appears to from 2019 or earlier and does not know if the information came from AT&T or one of its vendors.

    How to see if your information was part of the AT&T leak

    AT&T said it is contacting the 7.6 million current customers whose data was stolen and has reset their passcodes. The company said it is also communicating with the 65.4 million former account holders whose data was stolen.

    You don’t have to wait for AT&T to contact you, however. Using Have I Been Pwned, you can see check if your data has been leaked. If you use store your password information in a Google account, its Password Checkup tool can alert you if your account information has been exposed. And the premium version of our favorite password manager, Bitwarden, can check for leaked passwords.

    How to monitor your credit report for fraud

    If you think your personal information was part of the AT&T breach you can also watch your credit reports for signs of potential fraud.

    Monitor your credit reports. You get one free credit report a year from the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. On your report, look for unusual or unfamiliar activity, such as the appearance of new accounts you didn’t open. And watch your credit card accounts and bank statements for unexpected charges and payments.

    Sign up for a credit monitoring service. Pick a credit monitoring service that constantly monitors your credit report on major credit bureaus and alerts when it detects unusual activity. To help with the monitoring, you can set fraud alerts that notify you if someone is trying to use your identity to create credit. A credit-reporting service like LifeLock can start at $7.50 a month — or you could use a free service like the one from Credit Karma.

    What to do if you suspect you’re a victim of fraud or identity theft

    As soon as you suspect your personal information has been stolen you can take action to stop unauthorized charges and start to recover your identity.

    Place a fraud alert. If you suspect fraud, place a fraud alert with each of the credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. The alert notifies creditors that you have been a victim of fraud and lets them know to verify that you’re making new credit requests in your name. You can place an initial fraud alert, which stays on your credit report for 90 days, or an extended fraud alert, which stays on your credit report for sevenyears. Placing a fraud alert won’t affect your credit score.

    Contact fraud departments. For each business and credit card company where you think an account was opened or charged without your knowledge, contact its fraud department. While you’re not responsible for fraudulent charges to an account, you need to report the suspicious activity promptly.

    Freeze your credit. If you want to stop anyone from opening credit and requesting loans and services in your name without your permission, you can freeze your credit. You will need to request a freeze with each of the three credit reporting companies, which again are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. To apply for new credit, you need to unfreeeze your credit, again, through each of the credit reporting companies. You can either request a temporary lift of the freeze or unfreeze it permanently.

    Create a recovery plan. The Federal Trade Commission has a valuable tool that helps you report identity theft and recover your identity through a personal recovery plan and Identity Theft Report, which may help you dispute charges.

    Document everything. Keep copies of all documents and expenses and records of your conversations about the theft.

  • iOS 17: Easily Turn Off Inline Predictive Text in Just 4 Steps

    iOS 17: Easily Turn Off Inline Predictive Text in Just 4 Steps

    Apple released iOS 17.4 on March 5, and the update brought new features, including podcast transcripts and more stolen device protection options, to your iPhone. An earlier release — iOS 17.2 in December — introduced long-awaited features such as the Journal app and the ability to disable inline predictive text in iMessage.

    CNET Tech Tips logo

    When Apple launched iOS 17 in September, one of the new features was inline predictive text. This predicts what you’re going to write as you type (although not always accurately) and if you hit space, you add the suggested text automatically. But if you accidentally hit space, you may have to delete the word or phrase and start over if the feature got your message wrong. Some people — myself included — found the feature annoying, and Apple seemingly heard the complaints and allowed people to turn this feature off with iOS 17.2.

    Here’s how to turn inline predictive text off.

    Turn inline predictive text off

    1. Open Settings
    2. Tap General
    3. Tap Keyboards
    4. Tap the switch next to Show Predictions Inline

    Now, when you type a message, you won’t run the risk of adding a word you don’t intend to add. You’ll still see predictive text, the suggested words and emoji, over your keyboard.

    Turn all predictive text off

    A text message that reads hey I'm going to the gym and i'll be back around

    If you find all predictive text annoying, you can easily turn that off, too. Here’s how:

    1. Open Settings
    2. Tap General
    3. Tap Keyboard
    4. Tap the switch next to Predictive Text

    When you type a message now, you won’t see a box over your keyboard with suggested words or emojis. Turning predictive text off also disables inline predictive text, so you won’t see any suggestions whatsoever. You can type without interruption.

  • Liverpool vs. Brighton Livestream: How to Watch English Premier League Soccer From Anywhere

    Liverpool vs. Brighton Livestream: How to Watch English Premier League Soccer From Anywhere

    Having seen his dream of a historic quadruple in his final season as Liverpool boss bite the dust, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will be determined to see his side return to winning ways in the Premier League as they host Brighton on Sunday.

    Liverpool went into the international break nursing their wounds after a stinging FA Cup quarterfinal defeat to old rivals Man United, a result which ended a superb run of nine wins across all competitions for the Merseysiders.

    Brighton have lost just once in their previous seven encounters against Liverpool, but indifferent results in the EPL, coupled with recent exits from both the FA Cup and Europa League means the pressure is on Roberto De Zerbi’s side to get a positive result today at Anfield.

    Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

    Liverpool vs. Brighton: When and where?

    Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, March 31. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. GMT, which is 9 a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 12 a.m. AEDT in the early hours of Monday, April 1, in Australia.

    How to watch the Liverpool vs. Brighton game online from anywhere using a VPN

    If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

    With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

    Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

    Sunday’s Liverpool vs. Brighton match is streaming on USA Network, which you can access as part of your cable package or at the NBC Sports website with a valid login, and can be streamed via Sling TV and other more expensive streaming TV services.

Liverpool vs. Brighton is exclusive to Sky Sports, showing on its Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and Ultra channels. If you already have Sky Sports as part of your TV package, you can stream the game via its Sky Go app, but cord-cutters will want to get set up with a Now account and a Now Sports membership to stream the game.

    Livestream the Liverpool vs. Brighton game in Canada

    If you want to stream Liverpool vs. Brighton live in Canada, you’ll need to subscribe to Fubo. The service has exclusive rights for this Premier League season.

    Football fans Down Under can watch this EPL fixture on streaming service Optus Sport, which is showing every single Premier League game live in Australia this season.

    Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN

    • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
    • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
    • If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
    • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
    • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.

  • March Madness 2024: How to Watch, Livestream the Elite Eight Today Without Cable

    March Madness 2024: How to Watch, Livestream the Elite Eight Today Without Cable

    March Madness started with 68 teams and now only eight remain. This weekend’s action will determine the Final Four in a tournament marked with excitement, upsets and broken brackets galore.

    During the Sweet 16 two of the four top seeds were eliminated when No. 4 Alabama knocked off No. 1 North Carolina and No. 4 Duke beat No. 1 Houston. In the West Region, No. 6 Clemson took down No. 2 Arizona to set up a 6-vs.-4 Elite Eight battle today. And the lowest seed remaining in the tournament, No. 11 NC State, continued its magical run with a win over No. 2 Purdue.

    Tonight will bring two of the four Elite Eight games, both on TBS. First up is No. 1 UConn, still the favorite to win it all, against No. 3 Illinois. Tip-off for this game is called for 6:09 p.m. ET. Immediately afterward is the matchup between No. 4 Alabama and No. 6 Clemson, scheduled for 8:49 p.m. ET.

    Here’s everything you need to know for this year’s March Madness, from Elite Eight to the Final Four and the National Championship game. The short of it is you need only two apps costing $22 per month combined to stream every game of the tournament: Max (with Ads) and Paramount Plus with Showtime.

    Cam Spencer of UConn dribbles the ball in the NCAA Tournament.

    How can I watch or stream March Madness?

    As in past years, the tournament will be shown across four channels: CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. The time has come again to find TruTV on your dial.

    You can watch these channels with a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service, but the most affordable option is signing up for a pair of streaming services for a month: Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime. If you have the cheaper Paramount Plus Essential plan, you won’t be able to watch March Madness unless you step up to the pricier option.

    For just $22, you can watch every March Madness game live. With the cheaper, ad-supported $10-a-month Max streaming service, you can watch the games broadcast on TBS, TNT and TruTV. With the $12-per-month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, you’ll be able to watch the CBS games.

    You’ll have to juggle between both apps but this is the cheapest way to catch all the action.

    Which devices can I use to watch March Madness?

    You’ll find an app for each service to watch on an iPhone or Android phone as well as an iPad, Android tablet or Amazon Fire tablet. Max and Paramount Plus are also available on mainstream streaming platforms including Roku, Apple TV, Android TV/Google TV and Fire TV, as well as smart televisions from major manufacturers LG, Samsung and Vizio. Both services are also accessible through Xbox and PlayStation game consoles.

    For more specifics, check out the full list of supported devices for Max and Paramount Plus.

    Can I stream March Madness for free?

    Go to the NCAA’s March Madness Live site or use its March Madness Live app and you’ll be able to watch games for free. You can watch March Madness Live on iOS and Android devices along with Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Xbox. The app also supports AirPlay and Chromecast.

    As with most things that are free, there’s a catch. Without proving you’re a pay TV subscriber, you get only a three-hour preview, after which point you’ll need to log in to continue watching.

    What is the March Madness schedule for the Elite Eight?

    Here is the schedule for this weekend’s remaining games (all times ET).

    Saturday, March 30

    • No. 3 Illinois vs. No. 1 UConn, 6:09 p.m. on TBS
    • No. 6 Clemson vs. No. 4 Alabama, 8:49 p.m. on TBS

    Sunday, March 31

    • No. 2 Tennessee vs. No. 1 Purdue, 2:20 p.m. on CBS
    • No. 11 NC State vs. No. 4 Duke, 5:05 p.m. on CBS

    What is the March Madness tournament schedule?

    Here’s the remaining schedule, round by round:

    • Elite Eight: March 30 to 31
    • Final Four: Saturday, April 6
    • NCAA championship game: Monday, April 8

    What does the March Madness bracket look like?

    You can check out the official bracket to see all the matchups and attempt to identify potential upsets and which teams will make it to the Final Four.

    What’s the best live TV streaming service for March Madness?

    Three of the five live TV streaming services offer the four channels needed to watch every tournament game but keep in mind that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries CBS in your area.

    We recommend YouTube TV to college basketball fans for its relatively low monthly charge and multi-view capability that lets you watch multiple games at once. It’s also one of the three services that offer all four of the channels needed to watch every game. At $73 per month, it’s significantly pricier than getting Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime.

    Sling TV lacks CBS but is a good, low-cost option if you don’t need to watch every game of the tournament but want to be sure you can watch the Final Four and national championship game. At $40 per month, it costs nearly twice as much as it would to sign up for a month of Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime which would let you watch every game.

    Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream have every channel needed as well, but both are pricier than YouTube TV and lack features like multi-view. Fubo offers multi-view but doesn’t offer the Turner networks (TNT, TBS and TruTV), making it a poor choice for March Madness.

    All of the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.

  • You Can Snag a Lifetime License to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional for Just $40

    You Can Snag a Lifetime License to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional for Just $40

    There are a lot of IDEs out there, but possibly one of the most popular ones is Microsoft Visual Studio, but if you want to get your hands on one from Microsoft, it would cost you $45 per month. Luckily, there’s a great deal from StackSocial that will let you snag a lifetime copy of Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2022 for just $40. That’s a significant 91% discount on the usual $499 price, so be sure to snag it as soon as you can since the deal ends in four days on April 3.

    When you’re writing and editing code on a large scale, basic rich text editors probably aren’t going to cut it. Having an IDE, or integrated development environment, will allow you to not only write and edit but also run your code so you can debug it all in one platform. Microsoft Visual Studio is a 64-bit IDE with advanced tools and built-in integrations that can make it much easier to handle a sizable workload or a particularly large project.

    Visual Studio Pro will allow you to build across languages and platforms, and with IntelliCode to help you complete lines or blocks of code, you should be able to increase your speed and accuracy on the whole. CodeLens is another great feature that allows you to see recent changes, tests, authors and more. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll be able to collaborate in real time and make sure your team’s code stays consistent.

    There are a couple of caveats when it comes to choosing this deal over paying for the full subscription version. First, the code provided can only be used once, meaning you will have access to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 on only one device and will not be able to install it on multiple machines or transfer it if your current device crashes. You also won’t get the Azure access and credit that the Microsoft subscription includes. The good news is that updates are included with your purchase, so this should serve you well for as long as you have your current device. Just be sure to check the system requirements to ensure your device is compatible with this program before checkout.

    Quick tips for streaming the Bundesliga using a VPN

    • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Bundesliga matches may vary.
    • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
    • If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
    • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
    • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
