ElevenLabs Hits $330M ARR Milestone

The company, which recently achieved unicorn status, continues to dominate the market with its realistic voice cloning and text-to-speech tools, even as competition from Big Tech intensifies.

Popular fintech platform Betterment has confirmed a security breach after users received suspicious notifications about a cryptocurrency giveaway. Attackers reportedly gained access to internal systems to send these fake notifications.

Betterment advises users to be cautious and has disabled the affected features while investigating the full extent of the data exposure. No customer funds are reported stolen at this time.
