Some of the most widely shared content from the Iran conflict so far has been AI-animated LEGO videos released as part of a government's messaging. This article calls it "slopaganda," and both the U.S. and Iran have been using it from official accounts.

We have laws of war for autonomous weapons, while governments posting AI-generated memes from official channels have no rules at all, and the author makes a good case that this is a form of militarized AI too. Just a non-lethal one. For years, security awareness training told people one simple thing: when in doubt, go to the official source. That advice stops working when the official source is posting memes.

A few things this changes for anyone running security or communications:

- Your employees are being trained, every day, to expect official accounts to be casual and unreliable. That makes impersonation easier and weakens the "does this sound right?" instinct.

- AI-generated content is now cheap enough that a nation-state, a scammer, and a bored teenager can produce it all at the same quality. The content itself tells you nothing about who made it.

- Verification has to move from "does this look real" to "did this come through a channel I can confirm?" That means signed messages, known domains, and a phone call when it matters.

I'd love to see the same energy that goes into AI weapons policy applied to AI messaging from official accounts. In the meantime, keep your own company's official channels boring and factual. Boring is a security feature.

From the article:

“it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana.”

Worth noting that 5 US states (e.g. Florida) have stopped issuing standard drivers licenses and effectively force their residents to obtain a “Real ID” which includes additional data – which of course makes more sensitive data available to cybercriminals.

(edit) BTW, would be useful to have a free-world venue for posts just about data breaches. Proposal here.

Brian Krebs found his own driver's license for sale on a Russian crime forum this week. The timestamp on the scan matched the day he rented a car to attend a family funeral. His mom's license was there too, scanned a few seconds after his.

The service is called Nexus. It claims over 153 million driver's licenses from the US and Canada, and the count grew by nearly 400,000 in a single day. Krebs traced the scans back to an identity verification vendor that checks IDs for rental car companies, big retailers, and over 1,000 marijuana dispensaries. The FBI opened an investigation on Tuesday.

Most of the people in that database never dealt with the vendor. They handed a license to a clerk at a counter. The clerk ran it through a scanner. Nobody mentioned that the scanner belonged to a different company, or that a copy might stick around long enough to get stolen. If your company scans customer IDs, you own the risk of how your vendor uses those images, whether the contract says so or not.

Two things worth thinking about:

- Every new "show us your ID" rule, including the ones sold as protecting kids online, pushes more license scans into more vendors. Each one is another place to lose them.

- A driver's license is still what banks use to open credit. A scan with the photo, front and back, in infrared and ultraviolet, is close to a master key.

I would love to see ID scans deleted the moment a check is done. Until then, ask whether your license will be scanned or just looked at before you hand it over. And freeze your credit at all three bureaus. It's free. It takes about ten minutes.
