FBI Struggles to Access Reporter’s iPhone Data
The FBI's efforts to access data from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's iPhone were hindered by Apple's Lockdown Mode, which restricts unauthorized access to the device. Following a raid on Natanson's home earlier this year as part of an investigation into classified information leaks, the FBI's Computer Analysis Response Team reported on January 30 that they were unable to extract data from the iPhone due to this security feature. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between law enforcement and digital privacy protections.
OpenClaw Raises Alarm Over Shadow AI Vulnerabilities
OpenClaw, an open-source autonomous AI assistant, is raising concerns about 'Shadow AI' in organizations due to its ability to operate locally and coordinate tasks across systems. Following its rapid adoption, which saw over 85,000 GitHub stars within weeks, security researchers identified critical vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-49596 and CVE-2025-6514, with CVSS scores of 9.4 and 9.6, respectively. Cybersecurity experts warn that the combination of privileged access, autonomous action, and viral deployment makes OpenClaw a significant target for attackers.
