97% of AI breach victims lacked access controls, IBM finds
This story was originally published on To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily newsletter. About one in eight organizations has already experienced an AI-related data breach, according to an IBM-commissioned research report released on July 30. While the 13% of organizations that reported breaches of AI models or applications might seem like a relatively modest proportion, consider that among those compromised, 97% said they did not have AI access controls in place. As a result, according to IBM, 60% of the AI-related security incidents led to compromised data and 31% led to operational disruption. About a quarter (23%) suffered financial losses. The research, which studied data breaches experienced by 600 organizations globally from March 2024 through February 2025, was conducted by Ponemon Institute. 'The data shows that a gap between AI adoption and oversight already exists, and threat actors are starting to exploit it,' said Suja Viswesan, vice president of security and runtime products for IBM. The average cost among all types of data breaches during the study period was $4.44 million, representing a 9% decrease from the prior 12-month period and a return to 2023 cost levels. Breach costs rose in the United States, though, to an average of $10.22 million from an average of $9.36 million. According to the report, driving the overall global cost decrease was faster identification and containment of breaches, 'much of it from organizations' own security and security service teams, with help from AI and automation.' However, a majority (63%) of organizations that suffered an AI breach said they either didn't have an AI governance policy or were still developing one. Even where there was a policy, less than half (45%) had an approval process for AI deployments, and 61% lacked AI governance technologies, according to the report. The threat posed by AI is not, of course, entirely related to lax internal governance and controls. The reported noted that one in six data breaches, or 16%, involved attackers using AI themselves, most often for AI-generated phishing (37%) and deepfake impersonation attacks (35%). Almost a third (29%) of organizations that experienced a security incident involving an AI model or application reported that the source was a software-as-a-service product provided by a third-party vendor. Additionally, 30% of such security incidents involved supply chains, including compromised apps, APIs and plug-ins. One in five surveyed organizations said they experienced a security incident involving unsanctioned, 'shadow' AI. The average global cost of a shadow AI breach, at $4.63 million, was about 4% higher than the overall average data breach cost.

Mark your calendars — iPhone 17 release date may have just leaked
Thanks to the German site iPhone Ticker (spotted by AppleInsider), we may know when Apple's iPhone 17 will be revealed. Based on information from German mobile providers, iPhone Ticker reports the iPhone 17 event will take place on Tuesday, September 9. It fits with Apple's usual September schedule. Last year's iPhone 16 'Glowtime' release was also on September 9, which was a Monday. Typically, preorders for Apple's newest devices start on the following Friday, which would be September 10 if this report proves true. From there the first shipments could start arriving around September 20. September 20 is also the date the German site reported the iPhone 17 will be available in stores. This year, we expect Apple to debut the usual four phones in the iPhone 17 lineup with one big change. Alongside the base model iPhone 17, the Pro model iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, it's been rumored that Apple is dropping the Plus model in favor of the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air. Beyond the super-thin phone, the Pro models should feature a redesigned camera array that's more Google Pixel-esque. They also might feature aluminum frames, a better telephoto lens and 12GB of RAM. This might be the last time Apple releases those four models together. We've seen rumors that Apple might split the iPhone 18 launch in two with the vanilla model and the budget-friendly iPhone 17e launching in the spring of 2027. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It would reserve next year's iPhone 18 launch for the Pro models including a potential iPhone Fold. In addition to the phones, we could also see the new Apple Watch Series 11, and potentially a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 and SE 3. We're hoping for some big upgrades. A leaked Apple timeline indicated the Apple Watch 11 and Ultra 3 are coming this year, but it didn't have information about any SE models. Both the Ultra 3 and Series 11 could be the first Apple Watches to get blood pressure monitoring, though the Masimo lawsuit is still ongoing as of this writing. We also might see the third-generation AirPods Pro. Though that same timeline suggested we won't see those until 2026. However, the headphones have been teased in iOS 26 code hinting at a sooner release. Potentially, Apple might debut the AI-powered HomePod 3, though its just as likely the smart home hub won't launch until later in the fall.

The Wiretap: Lack Of AI Oversight Increases Data Breach Risks
The Wiretap is your weekly digest of cybersecurity, internet privacy and surveillance news. To get it in your inbox, subscribe here . As more companies adopt AI without oversight, the more they risk their own security. That's one of the implications of IBM's annual report on data breaches, which looks at the impact of AI for the first time this year. The tech giant found that 16% of breaches in the past year involved the use of AI tools. Additionally, 20% of organizations reported that they'd experienced a breach due to an employee using unsanctioned AI tools on company the organizations that saw AI-related breaches, 97% didn't have any access controls in place and 63% didn't have an AI governance policy. "The data shows that a gap between AI adoption and oversight already exists, and threat actors are starting to exploit it," Suja Viswesan, IBM's vice president of security said in a statement. The stakes are high: In the United States, the average cost per data breach has reached a record $10.22 million–even as the average cost globally has declined to $4.44 million. Healthcare is the most expensive sector when it comes to a data breach: the average incident costs about $7.42 million, though that is a big decline from 2024's $9.77 million figure. Companies are also getting better at managing data breaches: the average lifecycle of a data breach incident–from discovery to recovery–dropped to 241 days, compared to last year's 258 and the 280 days IBM identified in 2020. This is in part because more companies are discovering breaches on their own rather than hearing it first from their attackers–in part, because more companies are using AI to monitor their networks and keep them secure.

Illustration by Samantha Lee for Forbes; Photos;F or college students looking for jobs or internships, the standard advice about social media has been this: Build up your professional profile on LinkedIn, but scrub other social media accounts (the ones displaying your political opinions or party antics) or just make them private. Yet recent developments could make that playbook obsolete as students face a potential Catch-22: What they've said on social media can hurt them when they are job hunting. But students erasing or cloaking their public online presence could also backfire in less predictable ways. Some prospective employers are adopting AI tools to screen social media to determine if applicants are real, because AI has led to an explosion of fake (or stolen) identities by scammers. Those tools screen for things like age of social accounts, posting and liking activity as well as LinkedIn connections, which makes scrubbing your profile a riskier proposition.
