Signal's Founder Turns His Attention to AI's Privacy Problem

Signal founder Moxie Marlinspike is developing an open source, end to end encrypted AI chatbot to address major privacy gaps in today’s AI tools. He argues that chatbots feel private but are not, encouraging users to share sensitive thoughts that can later be exploited. His proposed system, Confer, encrypts prompts and responses so only users can access them, aiming to prevent data harvesting, profiling, and future misuse of deeply personal information.

Dozens of Flock AI Camera Feeds Were Just Out There

More than 60 livestreams from Flock AI surveillance cameras were publicly accessible online without any login, exposing live video from multiple locations. Researchers found the feeds using Shodan, an internet connected device search engine that indexes publicly exposed systems. The exposed cameras were Flock’s Condor models, which can pan, zoom, and automatically track people and vehicles. In some cases, administrator panels were also accessible, allowing footage downloads, deletions, and configuration changes. Flock works with law enforcement and businesses nationwide and recently partnered with Ring. The company said the issue was caused by a limited misconfiguration affecting a small number of devices and has since been fixed.

Ghostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues.
