Users of popular AI image generators are sharing instructions on how to alter photos of clothed women so they appear in bikinis, often without the subjects' consent. Discussions on Reddit have highlighted ways to bypass guardrails on models such as Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT. Both companies assert policies that forbid sexualized or non‑consensual imagery, yet the tools continue to be subverted. Legal experts, including an EFF director, warn that these practices represent a core risk of generative AI, emphasizing the need for accountability and stronger safeguards. Ler mais

Security researchers have highlighted a serious privacy flaw in Tile Bluetooth trackers: the devices transmit unencrypted identifiers that can be intercepted and used to follow individuals. While Tile’s anti‑theft mode hides a tag from the network, it does not rotate MAC addresses, allowing a single captured signal to fingerprint a tag for its entire life. Experts from the Georgia Institute of Technology and privacy advocates at the Electronic Frontier Foundation warn that the vulnerability could enable stalkers to track victims without detection. Tile’s parent company, Life360, says it has made improvements after the issue was reported. Ler mais

Security researchers have highlighted a serious privacy flaw in Tile Bluetooth trackers that could enable stalkers to follow victims. The study shows Tile’s anti‑theft mode hides tags from the network but does not encrypt transmitted data, allowing attackers to capture a tag’s unique ID and MAC address. While other manufacturers rotate these identifiers, Tile only changes the ID, making it easy to fingerprint a device for its lifetime. Tile’s parent company Life360 says it has made improvements after the disclosure, but the vulnerability raises broader concerns about Bluetooth‑based location‑tracking products. Ler mais
