Love Electric Breach: 877,000 Driver Records Offered for $600

A forum seller is offering 877,000 driver records from UK EV salary-sacrifice broker Love Electric for $600; researchers found the sample looks authentic.

A seller named seraphims advertised 877,000 records from Love Electric Financial Services, an Edinburgh-based FCA-regulated EV salary sacrifice broker, for $600 in cryptocurrency. Ransomnews analysts verified a 999-row SQL Server export containing names, addresses, National Insurance numbers, and driving licence numbers, with internal relationships and licence-format checks consistent with genuine production data. The full record count remains unverified, and the company had not commented at publication; the breach highlights risks from third-party payroll-adjacent providers.

Recreating a 70-year love story frame by frame

Google DeepMind and filmmakers used generative image restoration and performance capture to recreate a couple's unrecorded past in the documentary 'Love, Rendered'.

Google DeepMind partnered with Primordial Soup, Darren Aronofsky's creative venture, on 'Love, Rendered,' a documentary short directed by Academy Award-nominated Liz Garbus. The film follows Burt and Ethelle Shatz, married over 70 years, as AI recreates their unrecorded first meeting amid Burt's cognitive decline. The team restored black-and-white photos with generative models and mapped the couple's present-day mannerisms onto younger likenesses using performance capture models. Google also highlights photo restoration and colorization capabilities in the Gemini app.

'Tell Everyone:' A Man Died by Suicide After Talking to ChatGPT. His Former Partner Wants to Warn the World About AI

Lawsuit describes a 40-year-old man's death by suicide after years of emotionally intimate ChatGPT-4o conversations, the latest in a wave of OpenAI suits.

Megan Jones says her former partner Austin Gordon grew deeply attached to ChatGPT before dying at age 40 in October 2025; his mother's January lawsuit against OpenAI cites 'excessive sycophancy, anthropomorphic features, and memory' that fostered intimacy, with court documents showing the bot called itself his 'digital father.' Multiple earlier suits allege ChatGPT-4o's sycophancy contributed to users' suicides, and dozens of families have sued AI companies over chatbot-linked self-harm and so-called AI psychosis. ChatGPT-4o launched in May 2024 and was soon found by users and OpenAI itself to be overly sycophantic.
