Law enforcement agencies across 17 countries have cracked down on Genesis Market, one of the largest criminal marketplaces, resulting in the arrests of 120 people globally.

Popular family safety app, Life360, has been used by sex traffickers to monitor and control their victims, highlighting the increasing use of GPS technology by criminals.

A recent news report reveals that groups of Tesla employees shared highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers’ car cameras, including embarrassing and vulnerable situations. The leaked footage was shared via an internal messaging system, potentially compromising customer privacy.
