* Pirates invade BaaS island: Evolve Bank & Trust, partner to dozens of fintech programs, hacked by Russian ransomware group LockBit
* Elsewhere in BaaS news: Thread’s consent order
* Apple drops Apple Pay Later, will partner with issuers and BNPL firms instead
* Chevron decision drops (disclosure: neither Alex nor Jason are lawyers)
