Flock Safety allows police to continuously search camera footage using AI for individuals matching a written description, such as clothing, color, or objects. WIRED reconstructed the interface and found that officers can geofence areas and receive automatic alerts as soon as the AI detects a potential match. Although Flock is introducing new controls, such as […]
Around 241,000 Uber drivers across Europe and the UK are represented in a landmark collective action filed in Amsterdam over AI-driven pay and job allocation. Drivers allege Uber’s opaque algorithm profiles their behaviour to determine the lowest fare an individual driver may accept, potentially offering different pay for the same trip. The lawsuit claims this […]
The FBI warns of highly targeted OAuth consent phishing attacks aimed at prominent figures, their families, and acquaintances. Attackers impersonate government officials, media personnel, or known contacts, luring victims with fake file shares or meeting invitations. Granting permission to a malicious OAuth application gives attackers long-term access to emails, files, and other sensitive account data. […]
DIDAS warns that age verification alone cannot solve harmful content, addictive design, profiling or commercial exploitation of children online. Where verification is necessary, it should reveal only what is required, such as a simple “over/under age threshold”, without exposing identity, birth date or biometrics. DIDAS proposes six principles: privacy by design/default, unlinkability, data minimisation, open-source […]
97% of S&P 500 companies mention AI in their annual filings, but only around 1 in 5 document a process for managing AI-related cyber risk. Even more striking: fewer than 4% describe a genuinely governed process with clear accountability and controls. Guardrail Technologies found a 77-percentage-point gap between talking about AI and demonstrating how its […]
Cyberattackers have stolen personal data belonging to 8.7 million customers of three major UK airports. The breach affects Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands airports, exposing emails, phone numbers, vehicle registrations and postcodes. The compromised information came from services including parking, lounges, Fast Track bookings and airport Wi-Fi. Manchester Airport Group temporarily disabled its “Manage My […]
Phocuswright sees that the EU Digital Identity Wallet is gaining ground, but adoption differs strongly between France, Germany, and the UK. Awareness is growing, France leads with 25%, while Germany shows the largest increase from 13% to 21%. Trust is decisive: 54% of Germans trust the Personalausweis, while trust in digital identity systems is clearly […]
Security researchers uncovered severe vulnerabilities in Belgium’s Connective eID signing software, used by more than 2 million citizens. The technology is deployed by 8 of Belgium’s 10 largest banks, more than 60 government agencies and over 1,000 enterprises. A fundamental weakness was that the software failed to properly verify which website was communicating with the […]
U.S. security agencies warn of active cyber threats targeting Siemens S7 PLCs, used across energy, water, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure. Attackers are leveraging AI-generated exploits and internet scanning to identify and target exposed or poorly secured industrial control systems. AI makes ICS attacks faster and more accessible, reducing the level of specialized OT expertise […]
Researchers have uncovered new attack vectors that can undermine passkey authentication, challenging the idea that passwordless automatically means attack-proof. The attacks focus on weaknesses around the authentication flow and implementation, rather than breaking the underlying cryptography. Manipulation of WebAuthn processes, fallback mechanisms and compromised environments can potentially allow attackers to bypass or weaken passkey protection. […]
