Clearview AI Is Testing an AI Tool That Would Let Cops Unearth Your Life Online

Clearview AI is prototyping InquiryIQ, an AI analyst assistant that would automatically profile individuals identified through its face-recognition searches for police.

WIRED uncovered InquiryIQ, an unreleased Clearview AI prototype described as an AI analyst assistant that fans out across the web from a face-recognition search result to assemble profiles including employers, aliases, associates, and physical characteristics. The company tested a model from xAI (merged with SpaceX), maker of Grok, and the interface accepts age, gender, and race inputs to guide searches. Clearview says the prototype was never pitched or shipped to customers and no law enforcement user has used it; the database has grown to over 70 billion images used by more than 2,000 law enforcement agencies.

Condé Nast Data of 32.8 Million Users Offered for Sale After WIRED Leak

A 32.8 million-record Conde Nast user database is offered for $15,000 on a Russian cybercrime forum, extending December's WIRED leak with millions of unseen records.

A database of 32,815,767 Conde Nast user records went on sale on 7 September 2026 for $15,000 on a Russian-language forum, containing names, addresses, birth dates and phone numbers but no passwords or payment data. Ransomnews verified a 5,000-record sample as genuine account data collected between September and late October 2025, with roughly 30.5 million non-WIRED records never previously published. The listing matches the December 2025 WIRED leak of 2,366,576 records, claimed by an actor called 'Lovely' who said 40+ million records were stolen via IDOR and broken access controls. Conde Nast has not confirmed the breach; exposed data enables credible targeted phishing and fraud.
