How This Briefing Works
This dossier opens with key findings, then maps the gap between what Kiosked discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection evidence underneath. BLACKOUT observes runtime browser behavior and cites the regulations that address each pattern — legal determinations are your counsel's call.
