Meanwhile, the San Francisco City Attorney\u2019s Office sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google this week demanding that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/san-francisco-demands-apple-and-google-delete-ai-nudify-apps-from-app-stores\/\" class=\"text link\">tech giants delete 13 AI nudifying \u201cface-swap\u201d apps<\/a> from their app stores that are almost exclusively used to target women and girls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Since WIRED <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/meta-smart-glasses-face-recognition-nametag-connections\/\" class=\"text link\">first reported<\/a> in June about Meta\u2019s NameTag face-recognition system, company executives have made opaque and conflicting comments about whether the feature even exists. We took a step back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/heres-the-truth-about-whether-metas-nametag-face-recognition-exists\/\" class=\"text link\">lay out both the claims and the facts<\/a> about the very real system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In a speech on Thursday, President Donald Trump continued to push <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/conspiracy-theorists-think-trumps-speech-paves-the-path-to-the-insurrection-act\/\" class=\"text link\">unsubstantiated and thoroughly debunked claims<\/a> about interference in the 2020 US election. He even promised massive revelations in a trove of documents posted to the White House website, but the files did not prove his assertions\u2014and in some cases actually contradicted Trump\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As adoption of AI tools rapidly expands and their capabilities increase, the tech giant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/why-anthropic-is-pushing-states-to-regulate-ai-faster\/#intcid=_wired-verso-hp-trending-bktb_efc3a10b-a12d-451f-807d-161d01d20f44_cygnus-personalized\" class=\"text link\">Anthropic continued a push to get US states to regulate AI<\/a>. Speaking about AI transparency requirements in California and New York from last year, Anthropic\u2019s head of US state and local government relations, Cesar Fernandez, told WIRED this week, \u201cThe transparency-focused safety bills of 2025 were a really important start, but as the capabilities of AI systems continue to advance quickly\u2014the policy responses need to match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And there\u2019s more. 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\">The astrology-themed period tracker Stardust sends users\u2019 reproductive health details\u2014birth control type, pregnancy status, moods, and symptoms as specific as tender breasts and stomach cramps\u2014to a data firm not named in its privacy policy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/future\/article\/20260715-how-period-trackers-share-womens-private-details\" class=\"text link\">according to the BBC<\/a>, which first reported a Mozilla Foundation audit of six popular trackers produced in partnership with Harvard&#8217;s Berkman Klein Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/stardust-privacy-review\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/stardust-privacy-review\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/stardust-privacy-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stardust scored 2 out of 10<\/a>, the worst of the group. Mozilla researcher Shoshana Wodinsky found the app pings third-party trackers from the moment it opens, before a user enters anything; the instant she logged a symptom, the details went to analytics firm RudderStack alongside a persistent user ID, with no in-app way to shut the sharing off. RudderStack is built to route data onward to destinations Mozilla couldn&#8217;t observe. Stardust also hands Facebook an ad identifier that ties in-app behavior to the platform&#8217;s existing profiles. The company <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/07\/16\/period-tracker-stardust-shares-users-health-data-with-analytics-firm-says-mozilla-research\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/07\/16\/period-tracker-stardust-shares-users-health-data-with-analytics-firm-says-mozilla-research\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/07\/16\/period-tracker-stardust-shares-users-health-data-with-analytics-firm-says-mozilla-research\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told TechCrunch<\/a> it has never received a legal demand for user data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/euki-privacy-review\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/euki-privacy-review\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillafoundation.org\/en\/nothing-personal\/euki-privacy-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Euki, a nonprofit-run tracker, earned a perfect 10<\/a>: no account required, health data never leaves the phone, and users can set a PIN, schedule automatic deletion, or pull up a decoy screen if someone forces the phone open. Its one soft spot is an in-app browser for educational pages that loads the usual web trackers, but it also resets identifiers between visits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Russia\u2019s FSB has long had a reputation for highly sophisticated cyberespionage, leaving disruptive cyberattacks to its fellow hackers in the country\u2019s GRU military intelligence agency. But sanctions from the EU and UK this week, along with an advisory from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the FBI, and the NSA, pinned a cyberattack against the Polish electric grid on Center 16 of the FSB, a rare example of the Kremlin agency carrying out a cyberattack that nearly caused outages in the country\u2019s electric and water utilities. The attack, which the Polish government has said came \u201cvery close\u201d to causing a blackout, was initially attributed by cybersecurity firms Dragos and ESET to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/sandworm-kremlin-most-dangerous-hackers\/\" class=\"text link\">Sandworm<\/a>, also known as Unit 74455 of the GRU, a more usual suspect in infrastructure hacking given its active role in Russia\u2019s long-running cyberwar against Ukraine. But the Polish computer emergency response team at the time disputed that finding and tied the attack to the FSB, a conclusion now supported by a wide consensus of Western governments. The incident suggests that the FSB may be taking on some of the reckless, highly aggressive tendencies\u2014and targeting\u2014of its GRU coworkers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For years, the Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has been alleged to have ties to the Russian government, including by US officials who banned use of the company\u2019s products within the US government and eventually by all American customers. Yet overt evidence of those connections has been scarce. Now Reuters reports that Denis Obrezko, a Russian man facing hacking charges in Boston and an alleged member of a hacker group known as Void Blizzard or Laundry Bear, spent two years working at Kaspersky. His stint at the company took place just before he joined another cybersecurity company, Yutek-NN, where he allegedly took part in the group\u2019s hacking campaign that stole data and communications from numerous NATO governments and at least 11 US companies, according to US prosecutors. Prior to Kaspersky, Obrevko also allegedly worked at the FSB, neatly bookending his time at the company with apparent work for Russia\u2019s intelligence services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Obrevko has pleaded not guilty to the hacking charges. Kaspersky responded in a statement to Reuters that \u201cthe offenses charged cannot be related to the individual\u2019s role or responsibilities during the employment at Kaspersky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In an incident that will induce anxiety in anyone responsible for assessing suspicious network activity, DHS officials ruled\u2014twice\u2014that signs of a hacker breach in its data-sharing Homeland Security Information Network platform were false positives when they were, in fact, signs of a very real intrusion. HSIN, used for sharing unclassified data between state, local, and federal agencies, as well as foreign partners, was breached by hackers two months ago, according to reporting from Nextgov\/FCW. Analysts at the Federal Emergency Management Agency spotted signs of hacker activity in mid-May\u2014altering files and code, hijacking a legitimate web server, and deleting logs of their behavior\u2014but the findings were dismissed as a false positive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In the weeks that followed, the hackers returned, were again detected, and were again dismissed as a mirage. It\u2019s not clear why the signs of the breach were misjudged, but the incidents may represent federal analysts\u2019 increasing challenges in detecting \u201cliving off the land\u201d hacking techniques that use legitimate features of networks to access target assets on a network rather than planting more easily spotted malware. While the HSIN houses only unclassified data, the information is \u201chighly sensitive,\u201d Senate Intelligence Committee vice chair Mark Warner said in a statement following the report of the breach, and \u201cits exposure risks national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The AI music startup Suno scraped millions of songs, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, and a string of stock-audio libraries to train its models, according to 404 Media, which reviewed internal data provided by a hacker who breached the company. The intrusion also exposed account information for hundreds of thousands of customers, including emails, phone numbers, and Stripe payment records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Dataset notes in source code apparently from 2023 and 2024 tally 113,879 hours of YouTube Music audio alone, plus tens of thousands more from Pond5, Deezer, and other libraries\u2014decades of music in total. Other files show Suno routing its YouTube scraping through Bright Data proxies and using PodcastIndex to target roughly 1 million hours of podcasts. The hacker, who goes by ellie.191, says they broke in by compromising an employee with the Shai-Hulud worm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The files seemingly corroborate the record industry\u2019s central allegation that Suno pulled songs directly from YouTube. The company, which argues that its training qualifies as fair use and settled with Warner Music Group last November, said the breach involved outdated code and no sensitive personal information\u2014though customers whose data appeared in a sample shared with 404 Media said they were never notified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/security-news-this-week-your-period-tracker-is-probably-spying-on-you\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hours of San Francisco Police Department drone video footage exposed on the open web illustrates a new era of incredibly granular\u2014and consequential\u2014urban surveillance.
