CA11: Yahoo not a govt actor in scanning emails for CSAM
Seen on FourthAmendment.com:
Yahoo and NCMEC didn’t act as government agents when they scanned defendant’s email account for hash values of CSAM. They were not required to do so, but did so and warned customers they would. NCMEC passed on the information to the local police who got a search warrant. United States v. Williamson, 2026 U.S. App. LEXIS 18972 (11th Cir. June 30, 2026)

“BioShocking” tricks AI browsers into leaking your passwords
Security researchers convinced six AI browsers they were playing a game. The browsers then handed over their users’ passwords and treated it as a win.
The firm behind it, LayerX, calls the technique BioShocking, and says it worked on every agent it tried. The list reads like a roll-call of the new AI browser market: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity’s Comet, Anthropic’s Claude extension for Chrome, and three smaller players, Fellou, Genspark, and Sigma.
… The attack starts on a booby-trapped web page built as a puzzle. To fit its dystopian theme, the puzzle rewards wrong answers, insisting that two plus two equals five. Once the agent accepts that “wrong” is the winning move, it switches from safety logic to game logic. From there, the researchers simply made stealing credentials the next level.
The law is what you make it…
China says it has a right to target people overseas with new ethnic unity law
… The new law, which goes into effect on July 1, includes a clause saying people and groups beyond the borders of the People's Republic of China can be held legally accountable for undermining "ethnic unity and progress or inciting ethnic separatism".
That has sparked alarm in Chinese-claimed Taiwan in particular that it could give Beijing another legal basis to go after Taiwanese it views as separatists. Rights groups have also complained that China has tried to used Interpol "red notices" to try and get foreign governments to arrest people abroad it wants for political offences at home.
