This week on The Awareness Angle, Ant Davis and Luke Pettigrew dive into the fast-moving collision between AI innovation, real-world breaches, and human behaviour. From Sotheby’s data leak to AI browsers that remember your every move, this episode explores where awareness, policy, and technology are all being stress-tested.🏭 Sotheby’s, Muji & JLR Breaches – From luxury auctions to car factories, supply chain ransomware continues to ripple through industries. JLR’s £1.9B loss now marks the UK’s costliest cyber incident.🧠 Deepfake Politics – A fake video of MP George Freeman “defecting” proves that AI-fabricated political manipulation is no longer hypothetical—it’s here and hyper-local.📹 YouTube’s Likeness Detection – Google’s new system to identify AI fakes comes with a trade-off: creators must hand over government ID and facial video. Security meets privacy in a messy middle.🎣 Phishing-as-a-Service – “Whisper 2FA” has powered over 1M phishing attacks, using AJAX to steal live MFA codes. A reminder: phishing kits evolve faster than most awareness programs.🧭 ChatGPT Atlas Browser – The new AI-integrated browser introduces “memory” and “agent” modes—but also raises massive insider and data leakage risks. Shadow AI just went mainstream.🧩 Windows Zero-Days – Legacy modem and RASMAN flaws are being exploited in the wild.
