What happened
A batch of Wired security stories covering major privacy, surveillance, and vulnerability developments: a DHS demand used a 1930s trade law to force Google to hand over a Canadian’s location/activity tied to anti‑ICE posts; Disneyland has deployed face‑recognition on visitors; a widespread Linux privilege‑escalation exploit dubbed “CopyFail” (CVE‑2026‑31431) can give attackers root access—patches exist but many systems remain unpatched; OpenAI launched an Advanced Account Security option for at‑risk accounts; Anthropic’s Mythos suffered unauthorized access via Discord sleuthing; a spyware leak
