Sears Exposed AI Chatbot Phone Calls and Text Chats to Anyone on the Web

A collection of WIRED security stories highlighting large-scale privacy and security failures: a Sears AI chatbot exposed customer calls and texts publicly (risking phishing/fraud), widespread use of AI-driven face models and deepfakes in scams, and a likely government-developed iPhone exploitation toolkit now in criminal hands. The feed also documents state and state-adjacent cyber operations (Iranian hacktivism, attempts to hijack security cameras), GPS/electronic-warfare disruptions affecting navigation and shipping, and domestic surveillance concerns (CBP/FBI data use and proposed limits).
