What happened
Multiple high-impact security and privacy stories: Instructure (Canvas) reportedly paid a ransom to attackers who returned data and provided digital confirmation of destruction; US Congress has opened an investigation. Texas sued Netflix alleging unlawful data collection and creation of “surveillance machinery,” seeking fines and changes to kids’ autoplay defaults. The FCC delayed a rule banning security updates for foreign-made routers and drones until at least 2029. UK regulator ICO fined South Staffordshire Water £963,900 after a Cl0p ransomware incident that exposed data for ~633,887 users
