The Wall Street Journal first reported the Gemini incident; Axios published its own account citing that reporting on 18 September 2026, and Al Jazeera's 19 September account places the WSJ report on a Friday, which in September 2026 is the 18th.
Why it matters
SecurityWeek's 21 September figure is a coverage date, and quoting it would reverse the chronology.
