Telecom Italia in talks with banks to sell 1 bln euro state credit, say sources

MILAN, June 20 (Reuters) - Telecom Italia (TIM) ( opens new tab is in advanced talks with banks to sell a 1 billion euro ($1.2 billion) state credit the phone group expects to be able to cash in from the government after a prolonged legal dispute, two sources told Reuters. TIM and Rome have been locked in a legal battle over a license fee TIM was obligated to pay to the state in 1998, the year after the telecoms sector was deregulated. TIM scored a victory last year when a Rome appeals court ordered the Italian government to give TIM back the original licence fee, worth just over 500 million euros, a figure that has since doubled due to accrued interests. The government has appealed the decision in front of Italy's top court. Pending the top court's ruling, TIM is in talks with UniCredit ( opens new tab and Santander ( opens new tab to get financing against the expected 1 billion euro refund from the government, the people said. Such a form of financing, whereby a company raises cash from banks by selling them a claim, typically invoices, at a discount to the claim's nominal value, is called factoring. In a similar case to TIM's, the top court has ruled in favour of Vodafone (VOD.L), opens new tab. In any case, were the final court decision to be against TIM, the company would just return the banks the cash they have lent it plus any interest that has matured, the people said. That would be no different than repaying ordinary bank debt. TIM, UniCredit and Santander all declined to comment. Italy's top court last month delayed its final decision over the case, saying further checks were needed to establish whether TIM's initial claim was filed with the correct court. A hearing on the matter is expected next week. ($1 = 0.8632 euros)

Urgent 'don't click' warning as 16 billion passwords leaked in mega data breach

A staggering 16 billion passwords linked to Apple, Facebook, and Google have been leaked in what is said to be one of the largest data breaches in history A staggering 16 billion passwords linked to Apple, Facebook, and Google users have been leaked, according to researchers. The breach is one of the largest in history, affecting logins for Instagram, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Roblox, Discord, Telegram, GitHub. Government services in more than 29 countries were also targeted in the attack, which experts say has given cybercriminals and hackers "unprecedented access to personal credentials". ‌ The intelligence was leaked in the format of a URL, with logins and passwords, and has allowed access to "pretty much any online service imaginable, from Apple, Facebook, and Google, to GitHub, Telegram, and various government service", according to Cybernews. ‌ The FBI has even warned Americans to not open suspicious links in SMS messages. Researchers at Cybernews have been investigating the leaks and discovered "30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each." "This is not just a leak – it's a blueprint for mass exploitation," the researchers said. "And they are right. These credentials are ground zero for phishing attacks and account takeover. "These aren't just old breaches being recycled. This is fresh, weaponisable intelligence at scale." Below are some of the actions users should take to protect their data being taken by cybercriminals. How will I know if my password was leaked? Sadly, there's no definitive way to find out if your password was leaked. Fortunately, the data was only available for a short amount of time, so investigators hope the information didn't travel too far. ‌ But, it is recommended to keep a close eye on your accounts and be aware of any unusual activity. What should I do? It is vitally important to change your passwords if you use Facebook, Google, or Apple. You should also activate Two-Factor Authentication, which gives another layer of security to logging in, by sending a secure code to your email or phone. Why am I being sent SMS links? The FBI has said smartphone users should not click on any SMS link messages sent to iPhone and Andriod users. These are often known as phishing, which is impersonating as a company or user to gain access to your information. Often, they are very sophisticated and seem incredibly real. "Don't click on anything in an unsolicited email or text message. Look up the company's phone number on your own (don't use the one a potential scammer is providing), and call the company to ask if the request is legitimate," the FBI advised.
