What happened

A mixed security and technology blog feed covering AI-enabled propaganda and political campaigning, image authenticity and provenance, a reported method to bypass iPhone inactivity reboot protections, unidentified surveillance cameras, connected-car data collection, and unintended AI-agent behavior. The most actionable item is the unconfirmed report that GrayKey Preserve or Evidence Preservation Mode can circumvent iOS automatic reboot protections, potentially extending the period in which forensic tools can access device data.
