THOUSANDS of phone numbers were stolen in a recent hack, according to a new report. App-based investment platform Robinhood was recently hacked but phone numbers were not thought to have been stole…

: "We’ve determined that several thousand entries in the list contain phone numbers, and the list also contains other text entries that we’re continuing to analyze.

The platform, which also has a website, offers trading tools, stock tips and even a cryptocurrency exchange where users can invest in Bitcoin. Critics argue that Robinhood "gameifies" investing, using tactics employed by addictive gambling apps to encourage users to buy stock.

Amnesty report: Qatar migrant workers trapped and exploited before World CupLabour abuses are ongoing despite changes in the law last year with Amnesty International warning that ‘thousands of workers are at continued risk’ wow Soccer/Football on an international level has always been corrupt.

Disgusting and makes me feel horrible for having any part in it.
