Tech Security Fears, Olympic Drama, and ICE Agents' Secrets

Password managers, increasingly relied upon by millions to safeguard sensitive data, are facing scrutiny over their security claims, while concerns about software longevity plague the automotive industry, and a new AI tool has raised alarms in the tech world. Meanwhile, a heated exchange at the Winter Olympics and internal criticisms within Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have also captured public attention.

Password managers, adopted by an estimated 36% of US adults, or roughly 94 million people, store crucial information like financial and cryptocurrency credentials, according to Ars Technica. These services often tout "zero knowledge" encryption, but the reality of their security is being questioned.

The longevity of vehicles is increasingly tied to the survival of the companies behind their software, Ars Technica reported. As cars become platforms for software and subscriptions, the potential for a vehicle's functionality to be compromised by a company's failure is growing. Imagine, for example, a car that won't start because a server is down.

In the tech sector, companies are restricting the use of the experimental agentic AI tool OpenClaw due to security concerns, Wired reported. Executives at Meta and other firms have warned employees to avoid using the software on work devices, citing the risk of privacy breaches. One Meta executive told reporters he believed the software was unpredictable.

At the Winter Olympics, a verbal altercation during a curling match between Sweden and Canada sparked widespread attention, according to Wired. After a rules debate, Sweden's Oskar Eriksson accused Canadian vice-skip Marc Kennedy of cheating, leading to a heated exchange. The incident quickly spread across social media and news outlets.

Finally, an online forum for current and former HSI officers has revealed internal criticisms within the agency, Wired reported. Users shared their thoughts on the news of the day and complained about their colleagues in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One user wrote in July 2025, "ERO is too busy dressing up as Black Ops Commandos...to do an Admin arrest of a non criminal, non-violent EWI."
