Backstory: On Monday, the company suspended its service after it discovered it may have been hacked, and advised customers to change their passwords. Its investigation is still ongoing.

From live blogs to video chyrons and tweets, media companies are introducing new ways to fact check the presidential debates in real time this year.
Between the lines: The debates themselves are likely to leave less room for live fact-checking from moderators than a traditional news interview would.
The future seems clear to both parties: The Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade in the next few years, either gradually or in one fell swoop, and the abortion wars will move to a state-by-state battle over freedom and restrictions.
What's new: Two of the leading activists on opposite sides of the abortion debate outlined for “Axios on HBO” the next frontiers in a post-Roe v. Wade world as the balance on the Supreme Court prepares to shift.
