What happened
Collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts (June–July 2026) covering: cybersecurity mission creep and policy/oversight risks; pervasive surveillance and privacy harms (Papa Johns ad targeting via Instacart/NBCU, AI-enabled video surveillance, Meta testing facial recognition for police/military); a large data breach exposing ~1M passports and the associated credential reuse/authentication risk; a new class of weak RSA keys with many zero bits found in the wild (practical factoring risk); robotics/drones used in policing; and research on LLM prompt-injection and legal developments around AI content
