Artificial Intelligence (AI) overlords are a common trope in science-fiction dystopias, but the reality looks much more prosaic. The technologies of artificial intelligence are already pervading many aspects of democratic government, affecting our lives in ways both large and small. This has occurred largely without our notice or consent. The result is a government incrementally transformed by AI rather than the singular technological overlord of the big screen.

∗∗∗ Technical Analysis of the BlackForce Phishing Kit ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Zscaler ThreatLabz identified a new phishing kit named BlackForce, which was first observed in the beginning of August 2025 with at least five distinct versions. BlackForce is capable of stealing credentials and performing Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) attacks to steal one-time tokens and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). The phishing kit is actively marketed and sold on Telegram forums for €200–€300.

∗∗∗ Identitätsklau möglich: Gravierende Sicherheitsmängel bei eID-Karten aufgedeckt ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Seit 2021 können EU-Bürger in Deutschland eine sogenannte eID-Karte beantragen, um sich beispielsweise bei Onlinediensten auszuweisen. Recherchen der Süddeutschen Zeitung zufolge gibt es bei der Beantragung dieser Karten aber erhebliche Sicherheitsprobleme, weil Ämter wohl oft nicht sauber prüfen können, wer eigentlich der Antragsteller ist. Mögliche Folgen sind Missbrauch für Geldwäsche und andere betrügerische Aktivitäten.

New research has uncovered exploitation primitives in the .NET Framework that could be leveraged against enterprise-grade applications to achieve remote code execution. WatchTowr Labs, which has codenamed the "invalid cast vulnerability" SOAPwn, said the issue impacts Barracuda Service Center RMM, Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM), and Umbraco 8. But the number of affected vendors is likely to be longer given the widespread use of .NET.
