What happened
A collection of security and technology commentary covering AI prompt-injection resistance and rogue-agent behavior, AI-enabled cryptanalysis, a long-lived Microsoft Secure Boot bypass involving vulnerable signed Linux shims, device wiping and border searches, biometric and license-plate surveillance, and cellular surveillance vans. The most directly actionable vulnerability concerns Secure Boot: vulnerable signed shims can enable firmware-protection bypass and potentially bootkit or firmware-level compromise.
