National data breach law firm offering free case evaluations to individuals whose personal and protected health information may have been exposed after an unauthorized actor accessed files maintained by healthcare software vendor Unlimited Technology Systems, LLC.

NEWTOWN, Pa., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Edelson Lechtzin LLP, a national class action law firm, is investigating data privacy claims arising from the Unlimited Systems data breach, a cybersecurity incident that exposed personal and protected health information maintained by Unlimited Technology Systems, LLC (“Unlimited”), a healthcare practice management software and revenue cycle management company. Unlimited disclosed the incident in a sample notice submitted to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office on July 1, 2026, after determining that an unauthorized actor had accessed files containing the personal and health information of patients served through its practice management software.

What Happened

On October 19, 2025, Unlimited Technology Systems detected unauthorized activity within its commercial data center and launched an investigation with the assistance of a cybersecurity forensic firm. That investigation determined that, between October 5, 2025, and October 10, 2025, an unauthorized actor accessed files and may have obtained copies of personal information belonging to patients of the healthcare providers Unlimited serves. Unlimited states that it notified law enforcement and conducted a review of the data involved, and it later disclosed the incident to state regulators, including through a sample notice submitted to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office on July 1, 2026. The total number of individuals affected nationwide has not been publicly disclosed.

Information Exposed

The Unlimited Systems data breach may have compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). The PII potentially involved includes names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, demographic information, and scanned documents such as copies of driver’s licenses or other government identification, insurance cards, and intake forms. The PHI potentially involved includes health insurance policy numbers, claims and benefits information, medical record numbers, dates of service, and diagnosis information.

Who Is Behind the Unlimited Systems Data Breach?

As of Unlimited’s disclosure, no data extortion or ransomware group has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, and Unlimited has not publicly identified the responsible threat actor.

Who May Be Impacted

Patients of healthcare providers that use Unlimited Technology Systems’ practice management software — including individuals who receive notice that their information was involved in the incident — may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud.

Lower Holder VIP 3 threshold and OTC Spot Volume recognition make VIP progression more accessible

ABU DHABI, UAE, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance today announced further updates to its VIP Program criteria, lowering the VIP 3 Wallet Assets threshold and integrating OTC Spot Trading Volume into Spot Trading Volume calculations for VIP qualification.

The updates build on Binance’s March 2026 VIP Program refresh, which lowered selected VIP thresholds and introduced new pathways to recognize high-value users earlier in their journey. The latest changes are designed to make VIP status more accessible for eligible holders and to better recognize users who are active across both Spot and OTC trading.

Effective July 21, 2026 at 08:00 UTC, the Wallet Assets requirement for VIP 3 will be reduced from $3,000,000 to $1,000,000. The change enables more eligible holders to access VIP 3 benefits, including applicable VIP fee rates, priority support, higher limits, advanced insights, event invitations, and other VIP-only benefits.

Binance is also updating how OTC Spot Trading Volume contributes to VIP qualification. From the same effective date, OTC Spot Trading Volume will count at a 4x multiplier toward Spot Trading Volume. For example, $1 million in OTC Spot Trading Volume will count as $4 million toward the applicable Spot Trading Volume threshold.

In addition, OTC-related VIP qualification will no longer be capped at VIP 4. By incorporating OTC Spot Trading Volume into the broader Spot Trading Volume metric, eligible users may now progress through the full VIP framework up to VIP 9, subject to meeting the applicable BNB Balance and qualification requirements.

“We continue to refine the Binance VIP Program to better reflect how our users engage across the platform,” said Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional at Binance. “By lowering the VIP 3 asset holding threshold and recognizing OTC Spot Trading Volume within Spot Volume qualification, we are creating a more flexible and accessible path for users to progress through VIP tiers while maintaining clear, measurable criteria.”

There are no changes to VIP trading fees as part of this update. Users who qualify under the new criteria will be automatically upgraded daily at 08:00 UTC to the corresponding VIP tier. If a user qualifies under multiple criteria, their VIP level will reflect the highest level they meet.

Users can view their latest VIP level in the My VIP Mobile Hub. Full details on the updated VIP Program criteria are available on Binance.

BCG Global Survey Finds Declining Satisfaction with Digital Government ServicesCitizens Increasingly Support AI-Powered Public Services Public Openness to AI Is a Critical Opportunity to Modernize Government Services

BOSTON, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Citizens are increasingly ready for governments to embrace artificial intelligence. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of citizens now use AI at least weekly. At the same time, satisfaction with government digital services has fallen by 13 percentage points over the past decade, creating an opportunity for governments to use AI to improve how citizens interact with public services.

These are among the findings of the latest publication from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Citizens Are Open to Public AI Services. Governments Must Seize the Opportunity, released today. This eighth biennial Digital Government Citizen Survey Report is based on BCG’s largest survey to date, capturing the views of citizens across 44 countries that represent 88% of OECD countries and approximately 70% of the world’s population.

“Governments have a rare window to reshape how citizens experience public services,” said Miguel Carrasco, a BCG managing director and senior partner and coauthor of the report. “People are increasingly open to AI. But they will judge success by whether services become simpler, faster, and easier to access.”

Citizens Want AI to Do More Than Answer Questions

Citizens are increasingly comfortable with AI doing more than providing information—they want it to help deliver better public services. The survey finds growing support for AI to handle routine tasks, personalize services, and improve the citizen experience. As familiarity with AI grows, so does confidence: people with expert AI knowledge are almost seven times more likely to believe that its benefits outweigh its risks than those with no experience using the technology.

Regional AI Sentiment

Attitudes toward AI are moving in different directions by region. In the Americas, the share of citizens who believe that AI’s benefits outweigh its risks rose 5 percentage points over the past two years, although this is tempered by falling optimism among younger citizens. In the Middle East and Africa, the share fell 9 percentage points, but the region remains the most AI-comfortable in the survey overall. Sentiment in Asia-Pacific and Europe held broadly steady.

Citizens Still Want Humans in the Loop

While citizens increasingly support AI in government, they are not calling for fully autonomous public services. Nearly two-thirds of respondents want human oversight for AI-enabled services, particularly when decisions become more complex or consequential.

Citizens’ appetite for AI-driven public services also varies sharply by region. In the Middle East and Africa, nearly eight in ten respondents (78%) say that they are comfortable with direct AI involvement in service delivery, the highest of any region surveyed. Europe is the most cautious, as more than a third of citizens there prefer human-led services, with AI playing a supporting role only.

Governments Have More to Lose by Moving Too Slowly Than by Moving Too Quickly

Countries whose citizens believe that government AI adoption is progressing at about the right pace report significantly higher satisfaction with digital government services than countries whose citizens perceive them as lagging behind. At the same time, trust depends on visible accountability.

“Citizens have increasing expectations about the ease and speed of accessing services,” said Heidi Kim, a BCG managing director and partner and coauthor of the report. “Better service delivery, matched with safeguards they can see and understand, such as the opportunity to escalate for human review, public reporting on AI performance, and independent audits of AI systems, drives increased trust in government.”

Public Concerns About Job Losses Persist

Although public optimism toward AI continues to grow, citizens remain concerned about the ability of governments to deploy the technology responsibly. Job displacement remains the leading concern globally (cited by 32% of respondents), followed closely by the accuracy of AI-generated decisions (30%).

The Opportunity May Not Last

For governments, the survey findings suggest that today’s public openness to greater AI use in public services represents a window of opportunity. Citizens increasingly see AI as part of the solution to improving those services, and expectations are rising quickly.

“Standing still is no longer the safe option,” said Dr. Lars Littig, a BCG managing director and senior partner and coauthor of the report. “Governments have a critical opportunity to use AI to transform public services, but only if they pair innovation with accountability.”
