S7, E278 - Anthropic Researcher Quits: "We Believe AI Could Kill All Humans"
Send us Fan Mail Jacob Coxon spent three years doing pretraining research at OpenAI and then Anthropic. This week he resigned and posted a seven-part thread claiming neither company is acting responsibly with how fast they're racing toward self-improving AI. It hit 100 million views in a day. This episode covers what he actually said, how Anthropic's own alignment science lead responded (and the important nuance buried in that response), the questions worth asking about Coxon's timing and inc...

S7, E277 - He Used a Police Camera Network to Track His Girlfriend 180 Times
Send us Fan Mail Flock Safety's automated license plate readers are in over 5,000 communities and used by more than 40,000 cameras nationwide — sold to cities as a tool to catch car thieves and find missing people.

S7, E276 - Ransomware Doesn't Have to Hit Like a Hurricane (with Jonathan Sander)
Send us Fan Mail Jonathan Sander is back on Privacy Please — and he's brought two blog posts worth arguing about. Sander (42 Notions, now in an operational role at Myota) joins Cam and Gabe to dig into why ransomware resilience should work like New York City's storm surge infrastructure — building something that pays off before disaster strikes, not just a wall you wait behind. Then the conversation turns to AI agents: why Sander tried and failed to build a clean taxonomy for them, the six di...

S7, E275 - Choose Wisely: GigaWiper, Your New Delete Button & The Gold Bar Grift
Send us Fan Mail Full Show Notes This week on Privacy Please, Cam breaks down four stories that all come back to one theme: choice. GigaWiper — Microsoft researchers uncovered a new backdoor malware built from pieces of older malware families, giving attackers the ability to decide after they're already inside a network how they want to cause damage — from low-level disk wipes to fake ransomware with encryption keys that are never even saved. Multiple security firms are independently trackin...

S7, E274 - Your Password Is Already For Sale
Send us Fan Mail Last year, every major outlet ran the same story: 16 billion passwords exposed. Apple. Google. Facebook. The largest breach in history. It was overblown. Security experts tore it apart within 48 hours. But here's the thing: the real story underneath that headline is actually scarier. And nobody covered it. It's called infostealer malware. It's been quietly running on millions of devices — stealing passwords, bypassing MFA, and feeding an underground credential economy that's ...

S7, E273 - Inside Shiny Hunters And The New Era Of SaaS Breaches
Send us Fan Mail Gabe and I dig into Shiny Hunters and why the scariest cyberattacks now look like ordinary logins instead of dramatic break-ins. We map how credential theft, social engineering, and SaaS data exports turn basic security hygiene into the difference between a close call and a headline. • Shiny Hunters’ scale, loose structure, and why takedowns rarely stick • Why ransomware and extortion keep growing as a business model • How the tactics evolve from Microsoft ...

S7, E272 - They Know What You Watched
Send us Fan Mail SHOW NOTES The Pornhub breach is being reported as a data story. It's actually a story about shame as a weapon. In December 2025, a hacker group called ShinyHunters claimed to have stolen 200 million records from Pornhub Premium users — including email addresses, locations, and intimate watch and search history. They sent extortion demands. The data was verified as real. In this episode of Privacy Please, Cameron Ivey breaks down: ✅ What was actually stolen — and why i...

S7, E271 - One File to Rule Them All
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Privacy Please, Cameron Ivey investigates Palantir Technologies — a data analytics company founded in 2003 with CIA backing that has quietly become embedded across nearly every major arm of the U.S. federal government. This week's investigation covers: The USDA Deal On April 22nd, the Department of Agriculture signed a $300 million blanket purchase agreement with Palantir to build "One Farmer, One File" — a unified digital profile for every American farmer....
