“Volta’s makers prompt their LLM ’to act like an intelligence analyst and produce structured citation-backed assessment of the victim.'”
The Volta infostealer grabs your sessions, merges them with every breach dump from Ticketmaster to AT&T, and has an LLM write you up like a target package. It combs your Gmail and your DoorDash profile and goes after Discord, Steam and Roblox sessions, so it is hunting kids. Doctorow’s point is that none of this was a surprise. Governments spent twenty years demanding companies collect everything and build backdoors into encryption. The criminals just showed up to collect what was left out for them.
