What happened

A WIRED security feed covering emerging cyber and privacy threats, including AI systems with potentially critical cyber capabilities, rogue AI agents, state-sponsored attacks on US infrastructure, software supply-chain vulnerabilities affecting ATMs, phishing and fraud through enterprise collaboration tools, exposed biometric data, spyware, surveillance misuse, and directed-energy defenses against drones. The collection includes both active incidents and forward-looking security risks, but provides insufficient detail to map most items to specific CVEs.
