Your AI shopping agent can use your card. Who protects you if a scammer fools it?
Several banks, including NatWest, Bank of America, ING, and Capital One recently warned that AI shopping agents increase the risk of scams, fraud, and data privacy breaches. Their report says the technology is moving faster than industry standards and consumer protections.
Adoption is already rising. One retailer reported that searches from AI agents grew to 2.5% of its total, up from 0.3% a year earlier, according to Reuters.
Agents can enter card details directly into websites or steer shoppers toward payment methods with weaker protections. Shoppers don't know who to turn to when something goes wrong. Worse, scammers can phish agents or herd them towards fake storefronts, just like people.
Limit what your agent can buy. Choose payment methods with strong fraud protection. Review every purchase. Better yet, don't trust AI agents for shopping until the right protections are in place.

Is privacy dead? Not yet, but it’s in serious trouble.
In this episode of What the Hack, privacy expert Jen Caltrider talked with host Beau Friedlander about how even our cars and smart glasses collect data we never agreed to share.
Even if you do your best to protect your privacy, someone else wearing a camera or sharing their list of contacts with an app can make the choice for you.
Control what you can. Review which devices in your life record you, and read what they do with that footage and audio before you buy or turn them on. Ask relatives to make better privacy choices, and maybe keep smart glasses out from under the Christmas tree this year.

What did you agree to the last time you tapped “Allow” on your phone? It was probably more than you realized.
In this episode of What the Hack, privacy expert Jen Caltrider talked about holiday gifts and privacy. She also talked about smartphone apps.
Every app you install asks for permissions, and many want access to your camera, microphone, and contacts, even when the app has no obvious need for them. As Jen and host Beau Friedlander discussed, apps also track what you click and play, then guess your interests and group you with people who seem similar.
Those guesses rarely stay inside one app. Data brokers gather and sell these profiles, so check your app permissions today and turn off anything that doesn’t match what the app actually needs.

Even if you’ve decided to keep your kid’s info off your socials, someone else might have decided differently.
Influencer Kalie Robins joined us on What the Hack to discuss how Meta AI identified one of her daughters and shared her birthday and other information, even though that daughter wasn’t in the video. Some of the details came from grandparents and aunties who shared birth announcements, not from her account.
Data brokers and AI tools pull from everything connected to you, including your family’s feeds. Talk with your relatives about consent before they share photos or details about your children. Ask them to leave out names, birthdays, and locations. Your child’s safety may depend on it.

Meta may know you have cancer before you do.
This episode of What the Hack, featuring influencer Kalie Robins, looks at how much Meta AI can learn about people. One family video led to a child’s name and birthday being surfaced. Now the same platform may collect far more, from health details to biometric information.
The risk goes beyond your own data. What the Hack producer Andrew Steven pointed to reports that hackers used Meta’s help AI bot to reset more than 20,000 passwords, and that personal data has appeared in the Discover feed.
Once the data leaks, there's no undo button. Review what you share now. Limit the data you give platforms, and treat health details and family information as sensitive. Data brokers compile these pieces, and AI makes that faster.

Crunchbase is a legitimate site that collects and posts information on organizations and individuals. Investors use it for research.
The problem is, attackers can use it too. Cybercriminals can research employees and executives, then write spearphishing messages that sound informed and credible.
Contact details raise the stakes. Crunchbase shares them with clients for sales outreach, and exposed contact info can easily become a resource for phishing and scams.

Once your kids’ details are online, what’s your next move?
Influencer Kalie Robins recently talked to What the Hack about what she did after she found out Meta AI was digging up information on her kids and sharing it with anyone who asked.
Her advice to parents: don’t post your kids. If you do, make them hard to find. Skip the back-to-school board, the scoreboard in the background, and the team jerseys with names on them. Each detail looks harmless alone, but data brokers and AI systems can combine those small pieces into a full profile.
Assume anything shared can be pulled together, and act on that now.

Ever wondered why you might not be seeing the same price as someone else?
Surveillance pricing uses your personal data to adjust what you pay. Experts recently told Inc.com how to fight back:
1. Compare prices within the same brand. Check logged in and logged out, in the app, on the website, and in the store.
2. Team up. Ask a friend or spouse to shop for the same item on a different channel. Buy from whoever gets the better price.
3. Pay cash in stores. Cash doesn't leave a data trail.
4. Clear your cache. Some experts say browsing data can influence the price you see.
5. Try a VPN. Your location can change your price, so mask it.
6. Wait a few minutes after you add an item to your cart. A discount may appear.
We would add: Talk to your representatives. Fighting back starts with advocating for yourself.

Think current laws are enough to protect your kids’ data? Think again.
Influencer Kalie Robins recently shared an innocent video of herself and her daughter in the car on her Instagram account. Meta AI suggested a question about the child passenger, and one tap later it surfaced her name, birthday, and photos. Robins says some of the details came from posts she’d already deleted.
Federal rules like COPPA limit how online services collect children’s personal information, and some states go further. But these protections aren’t enough to stop AI tools from pulling together everything you willingly share to build a profile you never expected to go public.
Start treating every family post as a potential safety concern, and review what Meta can see and share.

Did you know your X posts may be training Grok right now?
By default, X shares your public posts, Spaces, and profile details with xAI to train its AI models. Your bio, display name, and engagement data are all in play.
You never explicitly agreed to it. Opting out only stops future use, not data already collected. Public content can reveal more about you than you think, from your job to your habits to your opinions
The fix takes about a minute. Read the full opt-out guide at the link in our bio.

What could a threat actor do with everything a data broker knows about you?
Chris Parr, aka Chris the Producer, recently rejoined the podcast and talked about how he spent just $9 on his own data and came away alarmed. Imagine what someone with real money and bad intentions could do. The market for personal data is worth billions, and the information brokers sell can be used for far more than ads.
Submit opt-out requests to the brokers that list you. Lock down privacy settings on every social account. Delete accounts you no longer use. Think before you post, because anything public is up for grabs.
Go to the link in our bio to hear more about what Chris found.
