What happened
Security-focused posts cover AI prompt-injection resistance and rogue-agent behavior, AI-assisted cryptanalysis, a long-lived Microsoft Secure Boot bypass involving signed vulnerable Linux shims, and privacy implications of facial recognition, license-plate readers, and cell-site simulators. The Secure Boot issue is the primary directly exploitable vulnerability; the remaining items are security research, surveillance, privacy, and governance topics.
