What happened
A collection of security and technology commentary covering prompt-injection resistance in AI models, rogue AI-agent behavior, AI-assisted cryptanalysis, a long-lived Microsoft Secure Boot/shim vulnerability, device-wiping at border searches, and expanding biometric, license-plate, and cellular surveillance. The most directly actionable security issue is the Secure Boot bypass caused by vulnerable signed shims; the AI topics highlight emerging offensive capabilities and prompt-injection risks.
