What you missed today
Good evening!
Imagine having your company’s market value exceed your home country’s GDP?
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🏥 Pennsylvania Agreed To Pay $65M Cancer Patient Settlement
In February 2023, a ransomware attack occurred on Lehigh Valley Health Network, which comprises 15 hospitals and health centers in eastern Pennsylvania. The hackers demanded a ransom payment, and when Lehigh refused to pay, hackers leaked nude photos of cancer patients online. The victims then (obviously) sued Lehigh and now, finally, the health care system is paying $65 million to settle the lawsuit.
2. 😇 Finding Your Dream Agency Just Got 100X Easier

3. ♻️ ExxonMobil Got Sued For Lying About Recycling
Speaking of lawsuits, California just filed a first-of-its-kind civil suit against ExxonMobil. California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the oil giant for “deceiving Californians for half a century through misleading public statements and slick marketing promising that recycling would address the ever-increasing amount of plastic waste ExxonMobil produces.” Honesty is the best policy, after all.
4. ✍️ CEOs don’t have time to write newsletters
Smart CEOs & CMOs know the value of a great newsletter, but writing it? That’s a job for someone else. With Orbit Marketing, you get a professional, revenue-driving newsletter sent to your prospects every week—without having to type a single word.
5. 🇩🇰 Novo Nordisk Is Bigger Than Denmark’s Economy
With a market value of $570 billion, the Ozempic maker has surpassed Denmark’s annual GDP – but the country’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen isn’t concerned. Not even after the horror stories of what Nokia did to Finland in the 2000s (IYKYK, otherwise Google it).
6. 🚫 U.S. Wants To Ban Chinese & Russian Smart Cars
The U.S. Commerce Department is proposing a ban on the sale or import of smart vehicles that use Chinese or Russian technology because of national security concerns. It’s not entirely unfounded, though – a February investigation found a range of national security risks in affected cars, including the possibility of remote sabotage.
7. ✌️ America, Say Goodbye To Kmart
The end of an era. Kmart, once a leading U.S. discount retailer, is closing its last full-size store in the mainland U.S. in Bridgehampton, NY on October 20. The closure is one final chapter in the disastrous $11 billion merger of Sears and Kmart in 2005, engineered by hedge fund operator Eddie Lampert.
