Editor’s note: After more than a decade, this is the last WIRED Security News This Week. “The roundup,” as we call it internally, started as a way to ensure that our readers knew about the latest key cybersecurity and privacy news even if we didn’t write about it ourselves. It was a simple way to highlight our own work and the wealth of other great journalism and research published in this realm every week.
\n\nOver the years, the roundup has developed a devoted following, and some editions have even become viral hits—which is honestly weird, but the cybersecurity community is great and weird, so it feels right. Rest assured that something new and exciting is coming in the roundup’s place, so stay tuned for that! For now, as always, stay safe out there.
\n\nMeta failed to catch roughly 350 AI child abuse ads, according to new research this week, including some that included images of real kids. In one case, a child depicted in an ad was a member of a European royal family. Lawmakers have said they intend to investigate, and the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office ordered the company this week to stop “allowing” AI child abuse ads.
