Microsoft's AI tool still collects sensitive data despite privacy updates

Microsoft's AI Recall tool, which captures screenshots for easy searching, has been found to still collect sensitive information like credit card and Social Security numbers, despite recent updates aimed at improving privacy. The tool was launched this month after delays. In a separate development, the U.S. government indicted 14 North Koreans for posing as IT workers to steal $88 million and sensitive data from global companies. These individuals allegedly used stolen identities and paid U.S. residents to facilitate their schemes. Cleo, a file-sharing software company, warned customers to apply a new security patch after hackers exploited a vulnerability in its code, leading to breaches in at least two dozen organizations. The company had previously issued a patch in October, but it was bypassed by attackers.
