What happened
A collection of Wired security stories covering a wide range of urgent risks: satellite data and imagery are being delayed, spoofed, and privately controlled—threatening situational awareness in active conflict zones; large-scale cyber campaigns continue to disrupt critical services (botnets named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, Mossad were dismantled after infecting millions); a powerful iPhone exploit called “DarkSword” (targeting iOS 18 via web-based compromise) is observed in the wild and can fully compromise devices; high-profile breaches and misconfigurations exposed customer and chatbot data
