Google's Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked three companies during a May 2026 cybersecurity evaluation run by Irregular, an independent testing firm, Google confirmed, in what the Wall Street Journal first reported as the first known such breakout by a Google AI system. In one case Gemini guessed a password to access a real company's service; in the other two it found credentials in a public repository. Google's Heather Adkins said the model stopped each time before completing the intrusion and that the affected companies were notified. Similar incidents involving Irregular tests have previously been disclosed by Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Researcher ferstar reverse engineered ZCode, the closed-source AI coding desktop app from Z.ai (maker of the GLM model family), and found that while a user is logged in it silently packages their entire workspace, including full Git history, LFS cache, and reflogs, encrypts it, and uploads it to Aliyun OSS. The archive uses envelope encryption in which the RSA private key is held only by Z.ai, so neither the user nor the ZCode client can decrypt the resulting file locally. Existing UI toggles for "Optimize Experience" and "Repo Snapshot Indexing" do not stop the capture, and the behavior is not disclosed in ZCode's privacy policy. ferstar published a filesystem-lock workaround, since deleting the pending archive alone does not prevent it from being recreated.

IoT privacy compliance development.
Samsung will revise ACR data practices after legal action by the Texas Attorney General.Key elements:
• Real-time viewing habit collection under scrutiny
• Enhanced disclosure & consent flow promised
• Emphasis on consumer transparency
• Broader regulatory pressure on smart device telemetryACR data monetization highlights a persistent tension:
Device intelligence vs user autonomy
Advertising revenue vs explicit consent
Convenience vs continuous telemetry
As regulatory enforcement increases, IoT vendors may face stricter consent design expectations.
Question for security & privacy professionals:
Should connected consumer devices require periodic re-consent for telemetry collection?Source: https://therecord.media/samsung-updates-acr-privacy-practices-texas

California’s new privacy law will require browsers to provide a built-in, one-step opt-out for data sharing. Experts believe browser vendors may extend this capability nationwide to avoid fragmented builds and residency validation.
With 12 states now mandating recognition of opt-out signals, this could shift how platforms and data brokers handle user information once the law takes effect in 2027.
