What happened

A WIRED Security feed covering major cybersecurity, privacy, surveillance, AI safety, and critical-infrastructure risks. Notable topics include aircraft and Zoom device compromise, exposed facial-image databases, child smartwatch stalking, attacks on utilities and suppliers, North Korean intrusions, rogue AI agents, prompt-injection and AI-browser abuse, phishing, ransomware, biometric surveillance, and government misuse of sensitive databases. The collection is primarily threat-intelligence reporting rather than a single vulnerability disclosure, and no specific CVE identifiers are provided.
