Security News This Week: Your Period Tracker Is (Probably) Spying on You
Hours of San Francisco Police Department drone video footage exposed on the open web illustrates a new era of incredibly granular—and consequential—urban surveillance. Meanwhile, the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google this week demanding that the tech giants delete 13 AI nudifying “face-swap” apps from their app stores that are almost exclusively used to target women and girls.
A Leak of San Francisco Police Drone Footage Exposes the New Reality of Urban Surveillance
The SFPD’s exposure of hours of videos from drone platform Skydio reveals how broadly it’s watching the city from above—and how the results can spill online. Just after noon on a Saturday last month, a Skydio X10 quadcopter hovered about 200 feet over a San Francisco apartment complex, watching police chase a man hiding behind a parked car. The target of this manhunt lay down on the pavement, apparently unaware that he remained in full view of the flying eye overhead.

What Happens if China Hacks the US Water Supply? I Went to a Secret War Game to Find Out
It’s around an hour and 10 minutes into the role-playing game I’ve been invited to observe, a simulated catastrophic cyberattack on US water utilities, when the whole thing begins to feel less like a fun afternoon playing Dungeons & Dragons and more like a plausible threat to civilization. A full 24 hours of in-game time have passed since hackers disrupted 5,000 water utilities across the United States in this imagined scenario.

Claudeが見つけたチケット販売網の重大な脆弱性──米音楽フェスのVIPパスも発行可能に
人工知能（AI）が自律的にハッキングを行なえるようになったときの脅威として、核ミサイルの発射コードの窃取や銀行口座残高の改ざんなど、悪夢のようなシナリオがしばしば語られる。 だが、実際に起こりうるのはもっと身近な被害かもしれない。AIにチケット販売サイトの最上位の管理者権限を奪取させ、自分や友人全員に音楽フェスのVIPバックステージパスを無料で発行させる──そんな事態のほうが、はるかに現実味がある。 そのことを示したのが、セキュリティ研究者のイアン・キャロルだ。キャロルは4月、AnthropicのAIツール「Claude Opus 4.7」を使い、米国の主要な音楽フェスの大半でチケット販売を手がけるFront Gate Ticketsのシステムに侵入し、完全なアクセス権を取得できる手法を発見した。同社はTicketmasterと同じくイベント運営大手Live Nation Entertainment傘下にある。 キャロルは、Front...
Claude Helped a Hacker Find a Way To Issue Tickets to Almost Every US Music Festival
Fears about AI tools capable of autonomous hacking usually involve nightmare scenarios like the theft of nuclear launch codes or zeroed-out bank reserves. Far more plausible, it turns out, is asking AI to gain super-administrator access on a ticketing website and then issuing yourself and all of your friends free VIP backstage passes to Bonnaroo.
Claude destapó un fallo que permitía obtener boletos para los grandes festivales de música de EE UU
Los temores sobre las herramientas de IA capaces de hackear de forma autónoma suelen implicar escenarios catastróficos, como el robo de códigos de lanzamiento nuclear o el vaciado de las reservas bancarias. Resulta que es mucho más plausible pedirle a la IA que obtenga acceso de superadministrador en una web de venta de entradas y, a continuación, expedirse a uno mismo y a todos los amigos pases VIP gratuitos para el backstage del Bonnaroo.

Security News This Week: The FCC Wants to Kill Burner Phones
After WIRED reported last week that Meta’s smart glasses app contained code that would enable the company to activate face-recognition features on the devices, the company removed the code this week without commenting on why or whether it plans to add such functionality back into the app later. Another WIRED investigation this week found that xAI’s Grok is still hosting sexualized deepfakes, including “nudified” images and videos, of celebrities and at least one prominent US politician.

Signal Alums Reveal ‘Encrypted Spaces,’ a System for Making Private Collaboration Apps Original
End-to-end encryption, in which data is encoded so that only users on either “end” of a conversation can decrypt their communications—and not the server that relays that information or any other interloper—has become the standard for modern privacy on the internet. But its very name suggests a kind of simple pipe with two openings.

Security News This Week: Crypto-Funded Chinese Peptide Labs Are Booming
Meta has been quietly stashing dormant face recognition code on more than 50 million phones, WIRED reported this week, tucked inside the companion app that pairs with its Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. If activated, the feature—known internally as NameTag—would let wearers identify people in front of them by matching captured faces against a biometric gallery sitting on the user’s device.
Un grupo de hackers está envenenando el código abierto a una escala sin precedentes
Los ataques a la cadena de suministro de software, en los que los hackers corrompen un programa legítimo para ocultar su propio código malicioso, eran antes un suceso relativamente raro, pero que aterrorizaba al mundo de la ciberseguridad por su insidiosa amenaza de convertir cualquier aplicación inocente en un punto de entrada peligroso en la red de la víctima.
バイブコーディングでつくられたアプリ、数千件で機密情報露出の恐れ
人工知能（AI）が開発者の仕事をますます肩代わりするようになっている。そんななかサイバーセキュリティ業界は、自動コーディングツールを使った開発でソフトウェアに悪用可能な脆弱性が大量に生じることになると警告してきた。 しかし、バイブコーディングツールを使い、誰でもクリックひとつでウェブ上にホストされたアプリケーションをつくれるようになったことで、こうしたバグの混入以外の問題も明らかになっている。企業や個人の極めて機密性の高いデータが、何の保護もない状態で公開されてしまっているケースが増えているのだ。 セキュリティ研究者のドール・ズヴィは、自身が共同創業したサイバーセキュリティ企業RedAccessのチームとともに、AIソフトウェア開発ツールであるLovable、Replit、Base44、Netlifyを使って作成された何千ものバイブコーディング製ウェブアプリケーションを分析した。その結果、事実上セキュリティ対策も認証機能も備わっていないアプリが5,000件以上あることを発見したのである。...

A hacker group is poisoning open source code at an unprecedented scale
GitHub is just the latest victim of TeamPCP, a gang that has carried out a spree of software supply chain attacks. A so-called software supply chain attack, in which hackers corrupt a legitimate piece of software to hide their own malicious code, was once a relatively rare event but one that haunted the cybersecurity world with its insidious threat of turning any innocent application into a dangerous foothold in a victim’s network.

”監視の時代”に市民組織を権力から守るには
米国の歴史を振り返ってみても、これほど多くの国民が連邦政府の行動に反対し、しかもトップダウンの政治的解決が望めない状況はほとんどなかった。そのため、多くの国民がボトムアップの抗議方法を模索している。草の根の組織化だ。 米国民はいま、移民を保護・支援するため、市街地を急襲する国土安全保障省（DHS）の危険な行為に抵抗したり、人権や政策の変化を求めて抗議したりしている。だが、そうした運動を組織しようとする米国民の前に、連邦政府が立ちはだかる。強大な監視能力を手中に収め、国民のデータを握るシリコンバレー企業の圧倒的な協力をも味方につけた存在だ。 つまり、政治的・社会的・経済的な組織化には、高いリスクを伴うジレンマがつきまとうのだ。政府による監視や標的化を回避しながら、あらゆる年齢やバックグラウンド、技能をもつ人々を大衆運動に結集するにはどうすればよいのか。 しかも、立ち向かう相手は移民・関税執行局（ICE）と税関・国境警備局（CBP）だ。軍隊と変わらない目的をもち、法律違反さえいとわず、一国の軍事予算すら上回る資金に支えられた連邦機関だ。...

As AI increasingly takes over the work of modern programmers, the cybersecurity world has warned that automated coding tools are sure to introduce a new bounty of hackable bugs into software. When those same vibe-coding tools invite anyone to create applications hosted on the web with a click, however, it turns out the security implications go beyond bugs to a total absence of any security—even, sometimes, for highly sensitive corporate and personal data.

暗号通貨が人身売買を爆発的に増加させている
国境を越えて手軽に決済できる暗号通貨は、世界中の誰もが使え、あらゆる支払いに利用できるという触れ込みで普及してきた。規制もほとんどされていない。そしていま、この「あらゆる支払い」の対象に「人間」までもが含まれるようになった。 人身売買の被害者となった人々は、詐欺拠点（詐欺団地とも呼ばれ、犯罪者が被害者を監禁して違法な詐欺行為を強制する施設）や性産業に大量に送り込まれ、暗号通貨による取引を通じて公然と売買されている。 2026年2月12日に公開された新たな調査報告で、ブロックチェーン分析企業「Chainalysis（チェイナリシス）」は、暗号通貨を使った人身売買が25年に爆発的に増加したと発表した。 東南アジア各国に点在する詐欺拠点に閉じ込められ、オンライン詐欺に加担させられる強制労働者や性風俗・売春ネットワークが主な取引対象となっている。 Chainalysisがこうした犯罪組織の使用する暗号通貨をブロックチェーン上で追跡したところ、人身売買に関連する暗号通貨の利用額は前年比で少なくとも85％増加していた。...
Newly Deciphered Sabotage Malware May Have Targeted Iran’s Nuclear Program—and Predates Stuxnet
In the history of state-sponsored hacking, the spectrum of cyber operations bent on sabotage have ranged from crude “wiper” attacks that destroy data on target computers to the legendary Stuxnet, a piece of malware the US and Israel first deployed in Iran in 2007 to silently accelerate the spinning of nuclear enrichment centrifuges until they destroyed themselves.

AI Tools Are Helping Mediocre North Korean Hackers Steal Millions
The advent of AI hacking tools has raised fears of a near future in which anyone can use automated tools to dig up exploitable vulnerabilities in any piece of software, like a kind of digital intrusion superpower. Here in the present, however, AI seems to be playing a more mundane, if still concerning, role in hackers’ toolkit: It’s helping mediocre hackers level up and carry out broad, effective malware campaigns.

Un mercado negro chino de criptoestafas y trata sigue activo en Telegram
Durante los últimos seis meses, la plataforma de mensajería Telegram ha servido de base para un extenso mercado negro conocido como Xinbi Guarantee, un bazar anárquico en chino que ofrece servicios de lavado de dinero a estafadores de criptomonedas, productos como bastones eléctricos y pistolas Taser para las operaciones de trata de personas de esos mismos estafadores, e incluso, en ocasiones, otros servicios delictivos que van desde el acoso por encargo hasta la prostitución de adolescentes.
