What happened
A collection of security commentary covering AI-enabled cyber misuse, surveillance, cryptographic attacks, messaging-account interception, connected-car data collection, and unidentified surveillance cameras. The most directly actionable issues include device-linking abuse against WhatsApp and Signal through physical access, phishing, or SMS interception; AI-assisted credential theft, cloud compromise, phishing, exploitation, and data theft; and a resource-intensive RSA signature-forgery attack applicable primarily to improperly implemented, unpadded signatures.
