Scammers using AI-generated images of missing pets to demand reward money

BBC News

When Stephanie Young's cat Buddy went missing from her garden in September last year, she flooded pet rescue sites and social media groups with information about him. Her hopes were raised when an image of him was sent through by a woman named Melissa, who claimed to have fed her cat and wanted reward money for her autistic grandchildren. The foster carer from Birmingham was 100% certain she had found her cat and remembered thinking Buddy had picked a lovely garden to sit in as she got money out of the bank to pay for his return. Within hours, she had agreed to meet Melissa nearby to collect him, but the individual never turned up, refused a cash payment and pushed for 100 Apple gift cards as a reward. Threats to sell or murder her pet soon followed when she discovered the images of Buddy were AI-generated and questioned the woman's authenticity.

Spooky New Infostealer Malware Uses AI to 'Autodox' Victims

WIRED

Named "Volta-Autodoxer," the recently uncovered malware uses AI tools to collect troves of data about victims, from login credentials and credit card numbers to Discord sessions and UberEats receipts. Welcome to Kernel Panic, a weekly newsletter by Lily Hay Newman and Matt Burgess from inside the new world of privacy and digital security. To receive this newsletter in your inbox each week, sign up here. New research shared exclusively with Kernel Panic shows that hackers have started adding AI functionality into a new strain of infostealer malware, making it possible for the system to automatically profile victims and quickly surface the highest value targets and their information. Dubbed "Volta-Autodoxer" because of how the malware refers to itself internally, the finding by Cisco Talos researchers sheds light on the ways that commercial LLMs are being used to augment and enhance the capabilities of established types of malware.

UK Politician Jess Asato Got Deepfaked. Now She's Taking xAI to Court

WIRED

Jess Asato's public campaigning for victims of online abuse put her in the crosshairs of Grok's deepfake scandal. Then the UK member of parliament became a victim of the abuse herself. Few people understand the current deepfake epidemic better than Jess Asato. The British Labour MP has spent years campaigning against the use of technology to abuse women and girls. Then, after calling out Elon Musk during the notorious Grok Deepfake Scandal of 2025, Asato found herself caught in the very crisis she had been trying to prevent. Disturbing and degrading deepfake images of the MP circulated widely. One appeared to depict a sexual assault. When Asato reported them to X, the platform repeatedly dismissed her complaints. So she decided to take the fight somewhere else: the courts. She is now pursuing legal action against Musk's xAI, arguing that it unlawfully used her image without her consent. The case could help establish a precedent for holding AI companies accountable when their products cause harm. For Asato, this is personal, but it is hardly new territory.

AI Hacks Leave a Mess That AI Companies Aren't Paying For

WIRED

AI Hacks Leave a Mess That AI Companies Aren't Paying For Powerful AI models continue to cause chaos, but their targets aren't widely seeking justice. Instead, they're being encouraged to adopt those same tools. When Philadelphia police criticized Anthropic last week for submitting a false tip about an unsolved murder, I thought it might become one of the first cases where an AI company faced legal consequences for misconduct by their agents . The incident occurred on July 18, when Anthropic said it was testing its Claude Haiku 4.5 model's ability to perform "example tasks on randomly selected webpages." The model was instructed not to "submit anything destructive," and yet, Claude filed a tip to police looking for information about an ongoing murder investigation.
