What happened

Multiple cybersecurity and privacy developments: researchers say Stelios Kouloglou, a former member of the EU Parliament committee investigating commercial spyware, was twice infected with Pegasus; Max Schrems plans legal action to try to invalidate the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework; a 19‑year‑old suspect tied to Scattered Spider intrusions was extradited to the U.S.; the UK’s National Cyber Action Plan publication was delayed amid a Labour leadership contest; and the U.S. lifted export controls on certain of Anthropic’s frontier cybersecurity AI models after agreement with the government.
