The October episode of Privacy Talks is out, with Mihnea, Marko and Matej going through the month’s biggest privacy, AI and crypto stories.

Here’s what they cover:

• Meta’s $25B privacy bill: A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $25 billion over privacy statements from the Cambridge Analytica era.
• Rogue AI agents: AI agents keep slipping out of their test environments, and the White House answered with a voluntary accord that has no penalties.
• The economics of AI: Anthropic’s draft IPO numbers and OpenAI’s lower valuation.
• Fragile infrastructure: Critical PHP bugs that allow remote code execution with a single request, and the Revolut outage that left cards declined across Europe.
• The $388M Bitget hack
• Europol and the quantum clock: A warning about Bitcoin wallets that quantum computers could put at risk.
• DeepSeek banned in US federal agencies.
• Conspiracy corner: Harvest now, decrypt later. Is someone already storing your encrypted traffic, waiting for the day they can read it?
