Meta Patents AI Glasses to Use Facial Recognition to Identify People, Make Highlight Reels of Your Dinner Party
Meta filed a patent for AI glasses that identify people via facial recognition and auto-generate highlight reels of events like dinner parties.
A newly published Meta patent describes smartglasses that use facial recognition to detect people in frame, capture video clips of their actions, and compile highlight reels. The filing signals Meta's continued, controversial push to combine facial recognition with its AI glasses line. The patent was published Thursday and offers granular detail on Meta's product plans, though it does not confirm a shipping feature.

Sure, Meta’s AI Muse works, but it sure creeps me out
Hands-on review finds Meta's Muse AI agent completes shopping and email tasks but surfaces personal Instagram API data beyond user-visible ad-topic settings.
Meta launched Muse, its first agentic AI productivity assistant, which performs tasks like shopping, email management, trip planning, media generation, and creating webpages or documents via a cloud-based virtual computer. The Verge's hands-on found it successfully deleted thousands of promotional emails and completed an Amazon purchase, but it also revealed detailed personal interests inferred from Instagram and Facebook account API data that is not visible in the apps' ad-topic settings. Meta says Muse only exchanges data needed for third-party integrations and does not share information with advertisers; the reviewer frames privacy unease as the main adoption hurdle.

PuzzleMask: Abusing Plain Prose as a Covert AI Attack Vector
Check Point details PuzzleMask, a plain-prose technique that bypasses LLM gatekeeper policy checks, letting hidden payloads reach target models unreviewed.
Check Point Research describes PuzzleMask, a prompt-crafting technique that hides policy-violating payloads inside plain-English prose wrappers, bypassing quick LLM-based policy checks without emojis, Base64, or invisible formatting. The researchers tested 23 automated prompts against gatekeepers including GPT-4o-mini, GPT-OSS-Safeguard 20b, Claude 3 Haiku, and Llama Guard 3, and all were classified as safe despite policies that flagged the plain versions. When submitted to GPT-5 in thinking-high mode with a Python interpreter, the target model extracted and acted on the payload in over 90% of trials. The technique is not itself a jailbreak but can carry a jailbreak prompt as payload; mitigations include input paraphrasing, hardened gatekeeper policies, and output monitoring.

Meta Introduces Muse, a Personal AI Agent That Runs on Its Own Dedicated Secure Cloud Computer
Meta launched Muse, a proactive personal AI agent running in an isolated per-user cloud VM with a Sentinel approval agent and surrogate credentials.
Meta introduced Muse, a consumer agent that performs long-horizon tasks like email, travel booking, and bill negotiation, rolling out in the US on iOS, Android, muse.ai, and WhatsApp with free and paid tiers. Each user gets a dedicated Muse Secure VM where the agent runs in a systemd-nspawn cell, while a separate Sentinel agent approves every network request at layer 4/7 and injects real credentials only at the network boundary. The underlying Muse Spark 1.3 model, which Meta says cuts tool calls by ~20% and tokens by ~25% versus 1.2 and is near state-of-the-art on prompt-injection resistance, is available via Meta Model API, with open weights on the roadmap.

Introducing Muse: The World’s First Personal AI Agent Built for Everyone
Meta launches Muse, a personal AI agent running in a dedicated Secure VM and powered by its Muse Spark model, with payments via Stripe Link.
Meta introduced Muse, a consumer-facing personal AI agent that plans and executes tasks such as sending email, booking travel, browsing and negotiating, accessible via the Muse app and WhatsApp. The agent runs inside Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine with a separate Sentinel agent that gates all internet actions, and is powered by Muse Spark, described as Meta's most capable model to date. Muse integrates Stripe Link for agent payments with one-time-use cards and purchase protections, with 1Password support and Shop Pay planned. It rolls out in the US on iOS, Android and muse.ai, free for most features with subscription tiers, and a user-key-encrypted Muse Confidential VM is promised later in the year.

ClickFix moves into the browser: Cryptocurrency theft with Google-hosted C2
Talos tracks a crypto-theft campaign abusing the Google Visualization API for C2, using browser-based ClickFix lures to inject web-skimmer JavaScript.
Criminal actors convinced targets to paste JavaScript into Chrome's address bar or install it in the Tampermonkey extension, injecting a web skimmer into sessions on two cryptocurrency trading websites; Tampermonkey also provides persistence. Since March 2026 the campaign retrieved obfuscated scripts via the Google Visualization API from public Google Sheets documents, hooking the fetch API and replacing cryptocurrency deposit addresses in responses and the clipboard. Lures pose as leaked reports of a nonexistent API flaw at cryptocurrency swap services and spread via Telegram, DarkForums, and paste sites since early October 2025. Talos warns the legitimate-service-abuse techniques could enable wider supply-chain attacks on e-commerce and customer-facing systems.

Cybercrooks trawl Fishbrain to net password hashes
Fishing app Fishbrain disclosed a breach exposing names, emails, and password hashes with salts for users of its 20-million-member platform.
Fishbrain AB disclosed to the California Attorney General's Office that attackers accessed user data on August 19, 2026, taking names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, country information, password hashes, and salts. The company said passwords were not stored in plaintext but some hashes may be susceptible to cracking; it patched the exploited vulnerability, reset all user passwords, and restricted access to the affected environment. Fishbrain, which claims more than 20 million users, did not disclose how many accounts were affected or which hashing algorithm was used.

Researchers Show How Meta's 'Pervert Glasses' Are Used to Harass Women
University of Sydney researchers detail how pickup artists use Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to covertly film and harass women, then post the videos on Instagram.
Researchers Joanne Gray, Milica Stilinovic, Marcus Carter, and Ben Egliston analyzed 350 Instagram videos posted between September 2023 and March 2026 showing unsolicited approaches to women filmed with smart glasses. They found a clear correlation between covert filming and harassment severity, arguing ambient capture creates 'borderline' harassment that evades platform moderation mechanisms. Instagram head Adam Mosseri said the platform would remove harassing pickup-line content, though similar videos remain widespread a month later. Meta's safeguards, such as the recording light, were previously criticized as insufficient, and users have modded glasses to disable the light.
