What happened

A collection of security commentary covering surveillance through connected cars and unauthorized cameras, abuse of device-linking features to access WhatsApp and Signal accounts, AI-assisted cybercrime and misuse, malicious npm packages that evade installation defenses, and a high-cost RSA signature-forgery attack against improperly padded or pure RSA signatures. The items are primarily analytical and do not describe a single incident; the most actionable topics are messaging-account takeover, software supply-chain malware, AI-enabled phishing and cloud compromise, and RSA implementation risk
