What happened

ZDNet round-up: Motorola will preinstall GrapheneOS (a privacy-focused Android fork) on select phones starting in 2027, marking a notable vendor embrace of privacy/open-source OS options. Several security-focused pieces highlight emerging risks around generative AI: enterprise AI agents can behave like insider threats (able to launch agents, spend money, modify systems), AI-driven ransomware is evolving to corrupt recovery points and target backup systems, and organizations must adopt specific security tactics when rolling out AI. Related privacy concerns include easy transfer of AI “memories”
