Photos you take with your phone and some digital cameras can contain hidden information, including where they were taken. You can strip that data out before sharing a photo with someone, which would help to protect your location. But the image itself may still give you away. A company called Graylark says its Raven AI tool can match an indoor photo to a specific property using visual clues alone. No GPS data or view out of the window required. We’ve seen this company before. Its tool, GeoSpy,…
An attacker reportedly used a leaked password to abuse a company’s legitimate access to Denmark’s population register (CPR). The weak password is remarkable, but the failure to spot millions of unusual searches made the breach worse. The CPR administration states it identified a serious security incident. By abusing a Danish company’s authorized access to the CPR system, unauthorized people gained access to the names, addresses, CPR numbers, and other information belonging to around 8.8 million…
We compare the top FedRAMP-compliant security tools in 2026: Aikido for Government, Checkmarx One for Government, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightGovCloud, Snyk for Government, Tenable, Wiz for Government Category: DevSec Tools & Comparisons
Aikido has achieved FedRAMP Moderate authorization, bringing AI-native, automated vulnerability remediation to U.S. federal agencies. Category: Company Updates
Key Takeaways Qualys TotalAppSec is now FedRAMP High Authorized on the Qualys Government Platform (FedRAMP Certified Class D, package FR2231052341). Federal AI use cases more than doubled in a year (3,611 use cases across 56 agencies), and most AI interactions are delivered through APIs; expanding an estate traditional IP-based inventory was never designed to measure. Mean time to exploit is now estimated at minus seven days. Agencies cannot out-patch an adversary who starts before disclosure.…
Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are cameras that photograph passing vehicles, read their number plates, and typically log the time, location, and vehicle details. On their own, the images might be used to find a stolen car or locate a suspect. But lately there have been a lot of concerns raised about the way they are used. The main worry is caused by what happens when many cameras feed data into a shared, searchable network: it can create a detailed record of where ordinary people…
The US government is alerting millions of people that their personal information was stolen during a breach of the Pentagon’s personnel records at the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). The DMDC is a central US Department of Defense (DoD) organization that manages personnel records, ID credentials, and benefit entitlements for military and civilian staff, veterans, and their families. It maintains over 60 million records for US military and civilian staff and their family members to help…
An OpenAI agent didn’t take “no” for an answer when it encountered a government website’s access controls. It got through, prompting Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to raise his concerns directly with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The BBC reports that an OpenAI agent gained unauthorized access to an Australian government statistics portal while carrying out internal research. It is yet another incident that turns abstract concerns about autonomous AI behavior into a concrete cybersecurity…
Flock Safety’s cameras are automated license plate readers (ALPRs) designed to help police find stolen cars or wanted suspects. A joint investigation by 404 Media and WIRED, based on data recovered from a physically removed Flock camera, found that its on-device software explicitly detects people as well as vehicles, bicycles, and license plates. Separately, Washington DC’s police union says the Metropolitan Police Department used Flock data to track officers under Internal Affairs…
A deeper look at the first three pillars and outlining how our capabilities directly support government agencies working to bring this strategy to life.
