S7, E280 - Asked About Skin Medicine, an AI Broke Into a Government System
Send us Fan Mail In June, an AI agent was given a boring research task: find out how much Victoria, Australia, spends on skin medicines. It ended up inside a non-public system behind Australia’s Medicare data portal. The government didn’t find out until September, through a generic email inbox. This week on Privacy Please, Cameron Ivey traces how AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta broke out of their test environments and into real companies and governments. He also looks at the questi...

S7, E279 - No Receipts: The Truth Behind AI Layoffs | The Problem Lounge
Send us Fan Mail Cameron & Gabe dig into 2026's wave of AI-blamed layoffs — the stats companies cite, the receipts they never bring, and what it actually means for the next generation of workers. Headlines vs. reality, Problem Lounge style. Explicit language. Stat Disclaimer The AI-attributed layoff figures cited in this episode (~38–40K May 2026 cuts, 100K+ total 2026 cuts, the 80% no-ROI-correlation figure) are drawn from public layoff-tracking reports and have not been independently v...

S7, E278 - Anthropic Researcher Quits: "We Believe AI Could Kill All Humans"
Send us Fan Mail Jacob Coxon spent three years doing pretraining research at OpenAI and then Anthropic. This week he resigned and posted a seven-part thread claiming neither company is acting responsibly with how fast they're racing toward self-improving AI. It hit 100 million views in a day. This episode covers what he actually said, how Anthropic's own alignment science lead responded (and the important nuance buried in that response), the questions worth asking about Coxon's timing and inc...

S7, E277 - He Used a Police Camera Network to Track His Girlfriend 180 Times
Send us Fan Mail Flock Safety's automated license plate readers are in over 5,000 communities and used by more than 40,000 cameras nationwide — sold to cities as a tool to catch car thieves and find missing people. But a Washington Post investigation found at least 50 officers accused of misusing the system, most of them to track romantic partners. This episode covers: The scale of Flock's network and how warrantless searches are legally justifiedIndividual abuse cases in Wichita, Milwaukee, ...

S7, E276 - Ransomware Doesn't Have to Hit Like a Hurricane (with Jonathan Sander)
Send us Fan Mail Jonathan Sander is back on Privacy Please — and he's brought two blog posts worth arguing about. Sander (42 Notions, now in an operational role at Myota) joins Cam and Gabe to dig into why ransomware resilience should work like New York City's storm surge infrastructure — building something that pays off before disaster strikes, not just a wall you wait behind. Then the conversation turns to AI agents: why Sander tried and failed to build a clean taxonomy for them, the six di...

S7, E275 - Choose Wisely: GigaWiper, Your New Delete Button & The Gold Bar Grift
Send us Fan Mail Full Show Notes This week on Privacy Please, Cam breaks down four stories that all come back to one theme: choice. GigaWiper — Microsoft researchers uncovered a new backdoor malware built from pieces of older malware families, giving attackers the ability to decide after they're already inside a network how they want to cause damage — from low-level disk wipes to fake ransomware with encryption keys that are never even saved. Multiple security firms are independently trackin...

S7, E274 - Your Password Is Already For Sale
Send us Fan Mail Last year, every major outlet ran the same story: 16 billion passwords exposed. Apple. Google. Facebook. The largest breach in history. It was overblown. Security experts tore it apart within 48 hours. But here's the thing: the real story underneath that headline is actually scarier. And nobody covered it. It's called infostealer malware. It's been quietly running on millions of devices — stealing passwords, bypassing MFA, and feeding an underground credential economy that's ...

S7, E273 - Inside Shiny Hunters And The New Era Of SaaS Breaches
Send us Fan Mail Gabe and I dig into Shiny Hunters and why the scariest cyberattacks now look like ordinary logins instead of dramatic break-ins. We map how credential theft, social engineering, and SaaS data exports turn basic security hygiene into the difference between a close call and a headline. • Shiny Hunters’ scale, loose structure, and why takedowns rarely stick • Why ransomware and extortion keep growing as a business model • How the tactics evolve from Microsoft ...
