Microsoft addressed 1400 security vulnerabilities in October's patch. Kudos to MS for delivering it. Looks like AI discovery of security vulnerabilities is here to stay. Now question: How many of these were fixed by AI agents? That would be the next important question!

Some companies are just keep on surprising me. Brave added bunch of features that strengthen privacy for users while they use Brave's AI Leo.

Here is the bright idea, delivering zero-click spyware through ordinary ad slots! 75,000+ apps and 120,000+ sites and one bidder was a spyware vendor. That's why my view is very simple - ads must be suppressed! Check out this story (it's bit technical though).

If Flock was not enough, now this story is even creepier. USPS to run a pilot program and put cameras on it's tracks to scan roads for "public safety" ... right... I think there is a different "s" word for it other than safety, it's surveillance ...

You gave your agent full disk access and then sends unsolicited notifications about conversations you had with your friends... Your AI assistant asking for Full Disk Access. That's not a feature. That's surveillance

Round of applause goes to Apple! I recently spoke at CYBR.SEC.CON about trackers built into apps and how you can view stats on iOS. Now with iOS 27 release finally looks like Apple taking action and delivering blocking of multiple ad platforms on OS level.

Finally federal judge called Flock for what it is: mass surveillance. Unfortunate part that it was done in drug trafficking case.
