What happened

A Wired Security feed covering major cybersecurity and privacy developments, including suspected state-sponsored attacks on critical infrastructure, exposed biometric data, aviation and communications vulnerabilities, insecure IoT devices, AI-agent and AI-browser security failures, surveillance misuse, phishing, ransomware, and cybercrime. Several items describe potentially severe risks to public safety and critical systems, but the feed is a collection of news reports rather than a single confirmed incident or vulnerability advisory.
