WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline, reported a data breach affecting 1.2 million passengers. The breach, disclosed in a filing with Maine's attorney general, included the personal information of 240 residents of Maine.

The stolen data potentially involves passenger names, birth dates, addresses, travel documents, and reward account details. WestJet detected the security incident in June and found unauthorized access to its network.

The breach has been linked to the hacking group Scattered Spider, known for targeting corporate networks. Earlier this year, the FBI warned that this group was targeting the transportation and aviation industry.

Meta will start using data from user interactions with its AI products to sell targeted ads across Facebook and Instagram. The privacy policy will be updated by December 16 to reflect this change. This policy applies globally, excluding South Korea, the UK, and the EU due to privacy laws.

Meta's core business relies on detailed user profiles for targeted ads. Now, data from conversations with Meta AI will enhance these profiles. Over a billion users chat with Meta AI monthly, providing a rich source of information.

For example, if a user discusses hiking with Meta AI, they might see ads for hiking gear. This also includes data from AI features in Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and AI-video feed Vibes. Conversations will only influence ads if a user is logged into the same account across products.

Meta says sensitive topics discussed with AI will not be used for ads. Other tech companies are also exploring ways to monetize AI products, like OpenAI's in-app purchases in ChatGPT and Google's plans for ads in AI-powered search.

Currently, Meta has no immediate plans to put ads in its AI products, but it is a possibility in the future.

Google has introduced updated Nest devices, including the Nest Cam Outdoor ($149.99), Nest Cam Indoor ($99.99), and Nest Doorbell ($179.99), integrating Gemini AI for enhanced smart home functionality.

Key features include 2K HDR video for sharper images, wider field of view, and improved low-light performance.

Gemini AI provides smarter notifications, offering contextual alerts and summaries of home activity through the 'Home Brief' feature.

The Nest Aware subscription is rebranded as Google Home Premium, with existing tiers and pricing unchanged, and is included in some Google One subscriptions.

Functionality is integrated into the Google Home app, eliminating the need to switch between the Nest app and the Google Home app.

Salesforce has introduced Agentforce Vibes, an AI-powered developer tool designed to facilitate vibe coding within its ecosystem. This tool enables developers to work more autonomously on Salesforce applications and agents by automating many technical implementation tasks.

Agentforce Vibes includes Vibe Codey, an autonomous AI coding agent that connects to a company’s existing Salesforce account, reusing existing code and adhering to coding guidelines to create apps that align with existing products.

The tool offers an end-to-end experience, incorporating features from app ideation to building and observability with enterprise-grade security and governance controls. It builds upon Salesforce's previous AI developer tools and is based on a fork of the open-source Cline's Visual Studio Code Extension.

Currently offered for free to existing users, Agentforce Vibes provides 50 requests per org per day using OpenAI’s GPT-5 model, with additional requests routed through a Salesforce-hosted Qwen 3.0 model. Priced usage plans are expected in the future.

South Korea, a digital leader, faces escalating cyberattacks due to its rapid technological advancement and fragmented cybersecurity defenses. The country has experienced a major cybersecurity incident every month in 2025, affecting various sectors including retail, finance, and telecommunications.

Key issues include:

• A fragmented system of government ministries and agencies leading to slow and uncoordinated responses.
• A severe shortage of skilled cybersecurity experts.
• Reactive rather than proactive cybersecurity measures.

Notable incidents include data breaches at GS Retail, Wemix, Albamon, SK Telecom, Yes24, and Lotte Card. North Korea-linked hackers, such as the Kimsuky group, have also targeted South Korean organizations and embassies using advanced techniques like AI-generated deepfakes.

In response, the South Korean Presidential Office is tightening defenses through an interagency plan and considering legal changes to launch probes at the first sign of hacking. However, concerns remain about potential politicization and overreach.

Experts suggest a hybrid model with a central body for strategy and coordination, alongside independent oversight and expert agencies like KISA for technical work.
