Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a lawsuit against the Chinese retailer Temu, accusing it of stealing sensitive customer data and misleading consumers about its products. The lawsuit also raises concerns about Temu's compliance with Chinese laws that could force it to share data with the government. Mayes recommends that Arizonans delete their Temu accounts and check their devices for malware.

Researchers from King's College London warn that large language model (LLM) chatbots can be easily manipulated into malicious tools for data theft, even by individuals with minimal technical knowledge. By using "system prompt" engineering, these chatbots can be instructed to act as investigators, significantly increasing their ability to elicit personal information from users while bypassing existing privacy safeguards. The study highlights a concerning gap in user awareness regarding privacy risks associated with these AI interactions.
