Breach of Confidence — 05 October 2026

A security newsletter summarizing several short incidents and trends: the alleged ShinyHunters operator continuing data-dump and WAF-bypass activity; AI jailbreaks that expose secrets (including dangerous content) and illustrate model vulnerabilities; credential vaulting limits that enable wholesale theft of secrets; fake ChatGPT Custom GPT scams pushed via ads that trick victims into running PowerShell; privacy failures at Meta and connected vehicles; and a failed facial-recognition trial — overall a collection of active threats and privacy/security failures rather than a single technical incident report.
