Each week, we round up the security and privacy news we didn\u2019t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Back in 2021, Apple launched its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/how-to-be-more-anonymous-online\/\" class=\"text link\">Hide My Email tool<\/a>, which as the name suggests, allows people to sign-up for online services using an email address that isn\u2019t linked directly to them. The privacy feature generates \u201cunique, random email addresses\u201d that will forward incoming messages to a user\u2019s personal email address\u2014reducing the amount of information you need to hand over to companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Reporting from <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.404media.co\/apple-hide-my-email-vulnerability-reveals-peoples-real-email-addresses\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.404media.co\/apple-hide-my-email-vulnerability-reveals-peoples-real-email-addresses\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.404media.co\/apple-hide-my-email-vulnerability-reveals-peoples-real-email-addresses\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">404 Media this week<\/a> revealed that a vulnerability in the system has made it possible, for at least a year, for people\u2019s real email addresses to be uncovered when they are using Apple\u2019s privacy service. \u201cApple Hide My Email is leaking email addresses that are supposed to be hidden,\u201d security researcher Tyler Murphy, who discovered the flaw in June 2025, told the publication. \u201cIn our limited tests with volunteers, 100% of Hide My Email addresses were exploitable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The exact details of the vulnerability and how it works have not been revealed as the problem hasn\u2019t been fixed. In tests conducted by 404 Media and Murphy, it was possible for a newly created Hide My Email address, which uses the @icloud.com domain, to be linked back to the real email address of its creator. Murphy said he originally reported the problem to Apple last summer and was told it had been \u201caddressed\u201d by March this year. However, when the researcher continued testing the issue, it remained exploitable, with Apple telling Murphy a couple of months ago that it was still investigating the issue. Apple did not respond to requests for comment from the publication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A nineteen-year-old has been arrested and extradited to the United States to face charges over their alleged involvement in the notorious Scattered Spider hacking group, the Department of Justice (DoJ) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cwy0we4yw1lo\" class=\"text link\">announced this week<\/a>. Peter Stokes, an Estonian-US dual citizen, was arrested in Finland in April and has been charged with computer intrusion, conspiracy and fraud, linked to the criminal gang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/alleged-member-criminal-cyber-hacking-group-scattered-spider-arrested-finland-and-extradited\" class=\"text link\">alleged<\/a> that Stokes, along with other members of the loose hacking collective, hacked into an unnamed \u201cluxury jewelry retailer\u201d and demanded a $8 million cryptocurrency ransom in May 2025. The company did not pay but still spent $2 million on the incident, according to a DoJ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/alleged-member-criminal-cyber-hacking-group-scattered-spider-arrested-finland-and-extradited\" class=\"text link\">press release<\/a>. In recent years, the Scattered Spider group, which is largely believed to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/scattered-spider-most-imminent-threat\/\" class=\"text link\">composed of young, English-speaking teenagers<\/a>, has caused havoc around the world by hacking into and disrupting dozens of businesses. The arrest of Stokes follows two British Scattered Spider members, Thalha Jubair and Owen Flowers, recently <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/jun\/22\/two-britons-plead-guilty-to-39m-2024-cyber-attack-on-transport-for-london\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/jun\/22\/two-britons-plead-guilty-to-39m-2024-cyber-attack-on-transport-for-london&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/jun\/22\/two-britons-plead-guilty-to-39m-2024-cyber-attack-on-transport-for-london\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pleading guilt<\/a>y to hacking Transport for London in 2024 and causing millions in damages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Following a move by encrypted messaging app <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/signal-launches-usersnames-phone-number-privacy\/\" class=\"text link\">Signal<\/a> last year, WhatsApp has announced it will soon roll out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/how-to-reserve-your-whatsapp-username-before-it-goes-live\/\" class=\"text link\">usernames to billions of people<\/a>. The option means it is possible for people to connect and message each other without having to share phone numbers, increasing privacy protections. However, officials in India, one of WhatsApp\u2019s biggest markets, who have previously tried to <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/faq.whatsapp.com\/1206094619954598\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/faq.whatsapp.com\/1206094619954598&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/faq.whatsapp.com\/1206094619954598\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unfurl<\/a> encryption protections on the Meta-owned app, have opposed the introduction of usernames. A letter from the Indian government, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/india\/india-asks-whatsapp-hold-usernames-rollout-pending-consultations-letter-shows-2026-07-01\/\" class=\"text link\">seen by Reuters<\/a>, asked WhatsApp to pause the rollout of usernames in the country. The letter claimed the move could increase fraud and cybercrime, citing concerns around allowing online anonymity. The letter was followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/india\/india-issues-notice-telegram-signal-concerns-over-usernames-source-says-2026-07-03\/\" class=\"text link\">separate messages<\/a> to Signal and Telegram about their use of usernames.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/us-world-cup-2026-alpr-camera-stadiums\/\" class=\"text link\">automatic license plate reader cameras<\/a>, known as ALPRs, have appeared across the United States over the last few years. The cameras, which can be deployed by cops, cities, and businesses, photograph passing cars and record details about their movements. As well as license plate numbers, the systems can log the time and location of the photos, make and model of a vehicle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/license-plate-readers-political-signs-bumper-stickers\/\" class=\"text link\">as well as bumper stickers<\/a>. Billions of images and details of car movements have been captured in vast ALPR databases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">However, an increasing body of evidence shows that when the camera systems make mistakes, innocent people can be detained by law enforcement officials and accused of crimes. A review of court records and media reports, which are likely the tip of the iceberg, by the nonprofit the Institute for Justice <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/ij.org\/dozens-of-innocent-motorists-have-been-pulled-over-detained-at-gunpoint-or-jailed-due-to-ai-license-plate-camera-errors\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/ij.org\/dozens-of-innocent-motorists-have-been-pulled-over-detained-at-gunpoint-or-jailed-due-to-ai-license-plate-camera-errors\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/ij.org\/dozens-of-innocent-motorists-have-been-pulled-over-detained-at-gunpoint-or-jailed-due-to-ai-license-plate-camera-errors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this week found<\/a> at least 24 cases of misidentification over the last eight years. These reportedly include a couple with a baby in their car being detained at gunpoint; a camera misreading an \u201cO\u201d as a \u201c0\u201d, leading to grandparents being detained; and someone being pulled over after their license plate was not removed from a wanted list.
