Experto en ciberseguridad alertan del impacto de la nueva IA de Meta en WhatsApp y advierten: "La inteligencia artificial puede mentir". La inteligencia artificial ha llegado definitivamente a las aplicaciones que usamos cada día. Y según expertos en ciberseguridad, no lo ha hecho solo para ayudarnos. El despliegue de los asistentes de Meta en WhatsApp, Facebook e Instagram abre la puerta a un nuevo nivel de recopilación de datos personales que, para muchos usuarios, puede pasar desapercibido. Rafael López, portavoz de la firma de seguridad Check Point Software, advierte de que la integración del modelo LLaMA en WhatsApp supone un cambio significativo en la forma en la que se procesan conversaciones, imágenes y patrones de comportamiento dentro de la plataforma. "Meta sabe dónde estás, cómo te sientes y qué te interesa. Su IA interpreta tus conversaciones y actúa en consecuencia", explica. Desde abril, WhatsApp incluye un icono azul que activa el asistente de inteligencia artificial. Su objetivo principal es ayudar al usuario, pero Rafael López insiste en que su capacidad para analizar mensajes, fotos, ubicaciones y hábitos emocionales también plantea un riesgo para la privacidad."No nos quitan datos: los entregamos sin darnos cuenta" El especialista señala que muchos usuarios desconocen qué información comparten realmente cuando interactúan con estos sistemas. No solo se recopilan mensajes o archivos: la IA puede aprender del tono, la urgencia y los intereses detectados en cada conversación. En algunos sectores ya se han detectado consecuencias económicas. Según Check Point, existen compañías, incluidas aerolíneas, que ajustan precios en función del nivel de necesidad que perciben tras analizar el lenguaje del usuario.Deepfakes y estafas: la otra cara de la inteligencia artificial Además del uso corporativo, los expertos alertan de un riesgo creciente: los ciberdelincuentes también están utilizando inteligencia artificial avanzada para suplantaciones, estafas y creación de contenido falso. "La IA siempre responderá, aunque no sea verdad. Por eso hay que verificar todo", señala López. Los ataques ya no se limitan a correos fraudulentos. Deepfakes de figuras conocidas —incluidos creadores digitales populares entre jóvenes— comienzan a aparecer en estafas que buscan generar confianza inmediata.Meta y la privacidad: una frontera cada vez más fina El modelo de negocio de las grandes plataformas vuelve a estar en el punto de mira. Meta ha ofrecido opciones de pago para limitar el uso de datos personales, una práctica cuestionada por expertos en privacidad. Aunque la normativa europea ofrece garantías, López asegura que no es suficiente para impedir que anuncios fraudulentos o sistemas abusivos permanezcan activos semanas antes de ser eliminados. También recuerda que el asistente en WhatsApp puede desactivarse, pero muchos usuarios desconocen cómo hacerlo.Un consejo para usuarios: información, no miedo El mensaje final no es una llamada a abandonar las plataformas, sino a entender lo que implican: "No contamos nuestra vida en voz alta en la calle, pero sí en redes. La clave no es dejar de usarlas: es saber qué compartimos y con quién".

Alan Nichol, Brian Edwards, Mark Lee, Phillip Loving, Graeme Rabbits and Allan Ranapia. These six men have died in incidents involving cardan shaft parking brakes since 2010. A coroner investigating Graeme Rabbits' death has declared the brakes inherently unsafe. It's an assessment the N-Z Transport Agency doesn't agree with. But key transport industry figures are backing the coroner, and Graeme Rabbits' father Selwyn is campaigning for change so no one else is killed. Checkpoint's Louisa Cleave and Jimmy Ellingham report.

Firefighters say they no longer have confidence in their ageing vehicle fleet, and fear they could let them down in life or death situations. They say they have learned to get by, but worry they won't be able to continue plugging the gaps. Fire and Emergency New Zealand says new trucks are on the way, and insists the current trucks are being well maintained. Despite this, the firefighters' union is planning further industrial action, saying FENZ needs to do more. On what's typically one of the busiest nights of the year for firefighters, Guy Fawke's, Checkpoint's Evie Richardson tagged along with one of the country's largest fire crews to see what they're up against.
Tens of thousands of trucks in New Zealand are fitted with unsafe brakes that could fail at anytime. That is according to a damning coroners report into the death of an Auckland worker nearly eight years ago. Graeme Rabbits was crushed to death in 2018 when the brakes failed on a telehandler and it rolled down the slope it was parked on and pinned him against a concrete mixer. His death is one of six known fatalities caused by vehicles with cardan shaft brakes since 2010. There are up to 70,000 vehicles with the same brakes in New Zealand. Now a Coroner is urging NZTA to do more to warn people about the inherent danger these brakes pose. Checkpoint's Louisa Cleave and Jimmy Ellingham filed this report.

It can be revealed concerns about the head of a government advisory group on crime are being kept secret. A Checkpoint investigation has found three staff members contracted to the Ministerial Advisory Group for Victims of Retail Crime are earning over $1000 a day.

“We're in the first inning right now.

The two discuss the open-platform concept and runtime security as AI reshapes how cybersecurity is deployed. Zafrir also explains his rationale for acquiring Lakera and how consolidation could unfold in SASE and browser security as enterprises look to deploy more AI agents.

This episode kicks off Across the Divide's Monthly Book Club. Here Jen has a conversation with Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac about his book "Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and the Genocide in Gaza." They discuss how the book emerged from Isaac's pastoral work and activism after October 7th. Together they reflect on the theology of a God who dwells amid the rubble in Gaza and Munther's hope on the impact this book will have on the global Christian church.We invite you to read Christ in the Rubble along with the ATD community and consider joining our virtual Book Club conversation on the book for our Patreon supporters on Sunday, October 26, 2025. To learn more and become a Patreon supporter, visit https://www.patreon.com/c/AcrosstheDivideSign up to join the Palestine solidarity delegation: https://forms.gle/asNkGWXgVB5MRAuZ8About the book: “Writing from Bethlehem with close-up knowledge of conditions on the ground, and rooted in a commitment to nonviolence and just peace, Isaac urges readers to recognize that support for Zionism's genocidal project entails a failure to bring a properly Christian theological criticism to bear upon colonialism, racism, and empire. He calls on Christians to repent of their complicity in the destruction of the Palestinian people. And he challenges them to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ—who can be found not among perpetrators of violence, but with victims buried under the rubble of war.”You can purchase the book here: https://www.eerdmans.com/9780802885548/christ-in-the-rubble/Rev. Munther Isaac is a Palestinian Christian theologian who serves as pastor of Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in Ramallah.

His PhD dissertation at the Oxford Center for Mission Studies was published as From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth: A Christ-Centered Biblical Theology of the Promised Land.

No support and a lot of stress. That's how some clients of K9 Search Medical Detection feel after getting disability assistance dogs from the Manawatu trainer. As previously revealed by Checkpoint, it was last year stripped of its right to train such dogs, which have access rights to public places. But the dogs it certified before are allowed to keep their assistance status. While some clients feel abandoned, there is also support for the organisation's work. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
'They've started to have the attitude women should go back to the kitchen and shouldn't work.' That from a 13 year old student who says she left school due to a rise in misogynistic and extremist behaviour by some boys in her class. Checkpoint recently spoke to the author of a report about the concerning rise of this sort of toxic masculinity in schools. Since then we've been contacted by teachers and students who've told us first-hand what it's actually like to fall victim to it. A warning, some of the details in Louise Ternouth's report are confronting.

AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern. Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.
