India's top digital payments company Paytm said on Tuesday (23) its consumer data was safe after police arrested three people, including the company's spokeswoman, over allegations that they tried to blackmail its founder and extort nearly $3 million by threatening to leak personal data.

"This is a case of personal data theft of Vijay Shekhar Sharma, where three arrests were made yesterday," the company said in a statement. "Paytm would like to reiterate that all our consumer data is protected with the highest & most impenetrable levels of security."

The company said it would not comment further, pending the police investigation.

Anthropic rolls out Claude for Small Business with 15 pre-built workflows

Highlights

  • Claude for Small Business integrates with QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva and Google Workspace.
  • Includes 15 workflows for finance, HR, marketing and operations.
  • Anthropic will run free AI training workshops in 10 US cities, starting in Chicago.
Anthropic has launched Claude for Small Business, a new product built to help smaller companies handle everyday tasks without needing any technical know-how.
It was introduced on 13 May and works through Claude Cowork, Anthropic's business platform that can browse the web, manage files and carry out tasks on a user's behalf.

The product connects Claude to apps that small businesses already use, such as QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

The way it works is simple. A business owner connects their apps, asks Claude to handle a task, and checks the result before anything goes out. Nothing is sent, posted or paid without the owner's approval first.
