Uber's computer systems are hacked

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The ride-hailing company said it was responding to a 'cybersecurity incident' and that several internal systems had been affected. Margi Murphy is cybersecurity reporter at Bloomberg News and updates us on the story. Why do we have such an attachment to some of our favourite brands? We know brand loyalty is a marketing executive's dream - but how have some of our kitchen cupboards seemingly become even more than that - more like old friends? The BBC's Dave Reid investigates. The UK competition authority has intervened after Facebook parent company Meta applied to buy out the gif platform Giphy. Technology reporter Ryan Broderick gives us the background. Will Bain is joined throughout the programme by Tony Nash, founder of the AI firm Complete Intelligence, in Houston, Texas and by Shuli Ren, Bloomberg Opinion reporter in Hong Kong.
