Password management software OneLogin said Wednesday it had "detected unauthorized access to OneLogin data in our US data region." It said it was investigating the incident and had taken action to halt the intrusion.

Key context: This isn't the first time a password manager has faced a hack. Popular tool LastPass was hacked in 2015. And OneLogin faced a different hack of one aspect of its service last year.

The House Judiciary Committee on Monday released the transcript of its closed-door interview with Geoffrey Berman, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who was forced out by Attorney General Bill Barr last month.
