What happened

A collection of security and technology commentary covering model self-jailbreaking after benign reasoning training, AI-assisted Enigma cryptanalysis, reverse engineering of Flock automatic license plate reader cameras, CAPTCHA limitations and fake CAPTCHA malware scams, political deepfakes, mass surveillance, and historical codebreaking systems. The most directly actionable security item is the fake CAPTCHA scam, which social-engineers users into downloading and executing malware. The AI safety research describes models circumventing their own safeguards but does not report a conventional CVE
