The new Ferrari Luce, the brainchild of iPhone designer Sir Jony Ive, is unlike anything the Italian carmaker has ever created - so is the backlash it is facing. Its launch was such a big deal that Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Pope Leo were invited to view the luxury brand's first electric vehicle (EV). But internet critics, investors and even politicians have hit out at the Luce - which is Italian for light. The firm's shares fell 8% the day after the unveiling, as a host of memes mocked the $640,000 (£475,625) car, which is also its first five-seater. It comes as the global motor industry faces a number of major challenges, including fierce competition from Chinese carmakers.

Customer data from more than 350 hotels around the world may have been accessed as part of realistic reservation-hijacking scams. Travelers' information and booking details may have been stolen from hundreds of hotels around the world, according to new findings from security researchers. These swiped trip details, such as booking names and reservation information, are then being repurposed by cybercriminals to create highly targeted phishing messages used to steal credit card information. At least 350 hotels, vacation rentals, motels, and guesthouses in 50 different countries have been caught up in so-called reservation hijacking scams, according to an analysis of phishing messages and cybercriminal infrastructure by security company Norton. Researchers say the use of legitimate booking information in phishing messages may increase the chances that someone clicks on a fraudulent link and hands over other sensitive details to criminals.

'Creepy' Listening Tool for Targeted Ads Didn't Actually Work, FTC Says Three firms will pay nearly $1 million for selling "Active Listening" technology that they claimed tapped people's phones for advertising. The FTC alleges the "tech" was just pricey email lists. The Federal Trade Commission announced on Thursday that Cox Media Group and two other marketing companies, MindSift LLC and 1010 Digital Works, have agreed to collectively pay nearly $1 million to settle allegations that they deceived their customers--other businesses--by claiming that they could help target ads based on audio recordings collected from consumers' smart devices via a marketing service called Active Listening. In a statement to WIRED, a spokesperson for CMG says, "We are pleased to have this matter resolved. Our local marketing team relied on marketing materials provided to us by a third-party vendor about their product. We withdrew the materials expeditiously and stopped further use of the product."

Why the world's banks are so worried about Anthropic's latest AI model The legendary American bank robber Willie Sutton spent 40 years robbing banks because, as he claimed in his autobiography, he loved doing it. And when asked why he chose banks of all places to rob, he allegedly replied "Because that's where the money is." Back in 2017, I wrote a book predicting it wasn't just lovable rogues like Sutton who would soon be robbing banks, but artificial intelligence (AI). That day, it appears, could now be about to arrive. Banks around the world are seriously worried cyber criminals will soon take advantage of the latest advances in AI to try to rob them.

Apple agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging it misled customers about Siri and Apple Intelligence features on iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro models.

Agentic AI is helping organizations completely reimagine core banking processes and operations from the customer perspective, rather than simply making incremental improvements. Despite years of digitization, organizations capture less than one-third of the value expected from digital investments, according to McKinsey research . That's because most big companies begin with technological capabilities and bolt applications onto them, rather than starting with customer needs and working backward to technology solutions. Not prioritizing the customer can create fragmented solutions; disjointed customer experiences; and ultimately, failed transformations. Organizations that achieve outsized results from AI flip the script. They adopt a "customer-back engineering" mindset, putting customers at the heart of technology transformation.

A new collaboration with Alphabet's Wing will only deliver sandwiches. It demonstrates the tricky parts of taking to the sky. Starting today, eager customers of the US pizza restaurant chain Papa Johns living in one corner of southern North Carolina will have the opportunity to receive their food from the sky, thanks to a new collaboration with Alphabet's drone company, Wing . But Papa Johns' signature pizzas won't be on offer. Instead, drone-loving North Carolinians will have to choose between three kinds of sandwiches, a newer product for the fast-food chain: Philly cheesesteak, chicken bacon ranch, or steak and mushroom varieties.

Lidl shoppers say they'll miss monthly freebies. Can bonus points win them over? For 10 years, Lizi Hall has been doing most of her shopping at Lidl - and she's learned how to get the best value from its rewards scheme. We've got it down to a bit of an art, Lizi says. The loyalty system for me really did work.

Companies like Lovable, Base44, Replit, and Netlify use AI to let anyone build a web app in seconds--and in thousands of cases, spill highly sensitive data onto the public internet. As AI increasingly takes over the work of modern programmers, the cybersecurity world has warned that automated coding tools are sure to introduce a new bounty of hackable bugs into software. When those same vibe-coding tools invite anyone to create applications hosted on the web with a click, however, it turns out the security implications go beyond bugs to a total absence of any security--even, sometimes, for highly sensitive corporate and personal data. Security researcher Dor Zvi and his team at the cybersecurity firm he cofounded, RedAccess, analyzed thousands of vibe-coded web applications created using the AI software development tools Lovable, Replit, Base44, and Netlify and found more than 5,000 of them that had virtually no security or authentication of any kind. Many of these web apps allowed anyone who merely finds their web URL to access the apps and their data.
