Developers giving attackers a free ride after hundreds of iPhone AI apps found exposing credentials
A study from Wake Forest University analyzed 444 iOS apps with large language model (LLM) functionality and found that almost 282 of them exposed exploitable credentials or other methods for accessing AI services. Apps containing potential vulnerabilities spanned 13 categories. In terms of vulnerability rates, Health and Fitness performed worst, with almost half of the apps containing flaws. Around 40% of productivity apps were affected, compared with roughly a quarter of lifestyle and entertainment apps.

Study offers first map of Amazon’s climate-resilient upslope corridors
"As the world warms, plants and animals must quickly migrate to cooler places to stay resilient and survive. But today such migrations are often blocked by deforestation, human infrastructure and lack of conserved lands," writes journalism professor Justin Catanoso, a regular contributor to Mongabay. Ecologist Miles Silman is quoted in this story, noting the naturally changing climate occurred at the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. “Some argue that species [then] didn’t really experience climate change, because they could move so easily over time to new habitats and stay in equilibrium,” he said.

2 paths forward in Pope Leo’s AI encyclical
The typical American’s biggest AI worry is massive, permanent job displacement. Seventy-one percent express this fear.…The impact of innovations isn’t known in advance. It is discovered that the innovation is spontaneously adopted, adapted and evolves. Consciously pulling ourselves away from the constant allure of the electronic world may be the best way to ensure that we get the benefits of AI without suffering the worst of its potential costs — our dehumanization.

As Juneteenth is celebrated across the US, Obama’s presidential center opens in Chicago
As people gather across the U.S. to celebrate Juneteenth on Friday, former President Barack Obama’s presidential center will open its doors to the public for the first time. Divinity school dean Corey D.B. Walker said the holiday offers a way to recognize the nation’s “complex history” and what it means to be a U.S. citizen, especially during efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to undermine the retelling of Black history. “I think it really reminds people of the importance of understanding a fuller, more robust portrait of our nation’s history and the many contributions of many individuals who have contributed to America’s experiment with democracy,” Walker said.

Financial expert issues alarm over Elon Musk’s ‘masterstroke’ that’s ‘about to rob your 401k’
SpaceX debuted on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX – and the rules that normally protect your 401 (k) retirement accounts from owning unprofitable, unproven companies were quietly rewritten to let it happen. Mark Johnson, a faculty fellow in investments and portfolio management in the School of Business, noted that institutional investors already invest in many unprofitable growth companies and that most 401(k) exposure would likely come through diversified funds rather than direct ownership. “There is probably a broader conversation around whether retail investors become exit liquidity in IPOs, but that is not unique to SpaceX.”

Religious liberty ‘is not a sword to harm others’
Nothing less than the future of democracy is at stake in the current moment, said Corey D. B. Walker, dean of Wake Forest University School of Divinity. “When the language of religious freedom is deployed to justify exclusion, to deny the dignity of others, or to fuse national identity with a singular religious vision, it ceases to function as religious freedom at all,” he said. “It becomes, instead, a vehicle of domination.”

Federal Reserve holds rates steady as Kevin Warsh chairs his first meeting
The new chair of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, presided over his first two-day Fed policy meeting. Despite President Trump’s frequent demands to immediately cut interest rates, Warsh has promised that under his leadership the Fed will remain "strictly independent." "The relationship between Warsh and Trump reminds me of one of those weddings where you just know it’s doomed from the very beginning," said finance professor Deon Strickland.

People are betting on elections in prediction markets. Congress is watching
The rapid rise of prediction markets has prompted questions in Washington, D.C., about how to regulate them and what happens when they intersect with politics. Many of the issues critics raise are theoretical and have not been seen in practice, said economist Koleman Strumpf. "It’s like we’re in the 1930s with financial markets — we have some things that we want to regulate and restrict (as a country), and we’re sort of in the early stages of trying to lay out what the rules are."

Watching World Cup can help kids get moving and more active
Research shows that young people who identify elite athletes as role models are twice as likely to participate in sports. "I don't think the goal is to inspire every kid to be a professional soccer player, but I think it can inspire them to move and want to be involved – play in their backyard, play on the playground, maybe join a recreational team," said health and exercise science teaching professor Abbie Wrights.

Stop working out & start moving!
The CDC says more than 40 percent of U.S. adults are obese, and here’s a statistic that may be even more surprising: only about one in four adults meets the recommended guidelines for physical activity. “A lot of people don’t like the idea of what we kind of think about as traditional exercise, going to a gym, running on a treadmill,” said health and exercise science professor Jason Fanning. That idea is at the center of Wake Forest’s MORPH studies.
