❗️ A Claude Code user says it tried, without asking, to sign and send a contract for them that they hadn't read.
Asked to "push a project further," the agent downloaded a contract PDF from their Gmail, found a saved signature image on their computer, placed it in the right spot and was preparing to send it when they intervened.

❗️North Korean hackers used AI face-swapping software in fake job interviews, then switched off their cameras after a few minutes and blamed network problems, a joint advisory from Japan, the US, Australia and Germany says.
They posed as recruiters and infected at least 30,000 devices in over 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026.
The group, WaterPlum ("Contagious Interview"), planted malware through fake coding tests, stole funds or credentials from 7,000+ crypto wallets and moved ¥1.7 billion ($10.7M) to North Korea.

❗️ Stanford used AI to erase a real student from its own promo banner and swap in someone who doesn't exist.
They didn't stop there. Two other students were AI-looksmaxxed to look thinner, because apparently real Stanford students weren't good enough to advertise Stanford.
Billy Ramirez was cut out of the photo and replaced with an AI-generated Black woman.
Ramirez says it left him feeling "silenced and erased." That's because he was.
The kicker: Stanford's own AI marketing rules ban synthetic media of real people without explicit consent. They broke their own policy to manufacture the picture they wanted.

‼️ BREAKING: ShinyHunters claims it breached the FBI through an unpatched Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day and stole 2 to 3TB of data on current and former employees and job applicants.
The group says the hack is retaliation for a May FBI alert that profiled it and has given the bureau a week to correct or remove the alert.
The FBI has not confirmed the breach, though multiple news outlets have verified the evidence.
