Hello, cyber fellows!

Are you preparing for your summer getaway? Be cautious! Recently, Cybernews researchers reviewed some of the most popular hospitality apps, and guess what? Every travel app we tested knows your whereabouts. However, half of them, including Booking.com, won’t even tell you that they collect your location data. You'll find our exclusive research with all the apps listed in this edition down below.

This year deserves to be named the “election year,” with 49% of the world's population voting in 2024 across 64 countries. In this edition, we'll discuss how governments are planning to utilize AI in organizing election events. Then, we talk about the possible negative sides of leveraging AI in election administration, especially how different AI technologies, such as deepfake, can impact election integrity and voters' opinions, particularly in the US election campaigns.

There are plenty of reads for your brains, so scroll down and choose where to start.

Stay secure, stay curious ??

See you next time!
