Anthropic recorded over 16 million interactions with Claude from about 24,000 fake accounts, which are reportedly linked to Chinese companies trying to cheaply copy the model. Google faced more than 100,000 attempts to copy Gemini. OpenAI reports that most distillation attacks they find come from China. This is not an isolated event. It is a repeatable and scalable strategy. Breaking the terms of service isn't enough to stop people when the reward is closing a years-long gap in AI technology. The House Select Committee on China wants to label 'adversarial distillation' as industrial espionage under the Economic Espionage Act, which makes sense. At the moment, getting caught just means losing an account. That is hardly a real punishment. The Trump-Xi summit is approaching, and the White House is reportedly considering sanctions. However, Trump has previously traded away export controls for other deals. If that happens again, AI companies may have to protect their intellectual property by themselves. When laws fail to keep pace with new types of attacks, attackers automatically have the advantage. If your company is developing anything unique using advanced AI models, your API access logs are now part of your security risks. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/us-accuses-china-of-industrial-scale-ai-theft-china-says-its-slander/ #AI #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity #IntellectualProperty #Geopolitics #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #Espionage

@ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social @Infoseepage@mastodon.social @thatdnaguy@genomic.social also with the whole Export Restictions BS demand gets up. Not to mention even if these cards - like Mining GPUs - can't plug in a display, they propably can still be used for #VDI (#Desktop #Virtualization) setups like "#Cloud" #Gaming & #CAD VMs...Worst-case some low- to mid-budget #animation studios & spechalized #datacenters will just gobble them up for @Blender@mastodon.social /@blender@video.blender.org workflows in #Flamenco.

Trying to be secure... You deleted the app. You turned on disappearing messages. You did everything right. The FBI can still read your Signal messages. Huh? This wasn't a Signal failure. Signal did its job. iOS didn't. The phone was storing notification previews in a database long after the app was gone, because someone turned on Lock Screen message previews. Apple just patched it in iOS 26.4.2, and they only found out about it because a defendant's court case exposed it during testimony. 🔎 This is why privacy promises and privacy architecture are two different things 📲 Update your phone. Not because you're hiding something. Because your phone is quietly keeping receipts you don't know about. ⚠️ And if you're a CISO still telling employees that "just use Signal" is a complete privacy answer, it's time to revisit that conversation. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/22/ios-26-4-2-notification-database-security-fix/ #Cybersecurity #Privacy #iOS #InfoSec #Leadership #security #cloud #infosec #AlwaysUpdate

An ex-Azure engineer published six essays arguing Microsoft's cloud has been on life support since 2008, and the cause isn't bad code. It's bad people decisions. Rushed launch, post-launch talent exodus, no testing discipline, no architectural vision. Sound familiar to anyone who's worked in a place that ships first and staffs later? Now layer 2026 on top. Microsoft cut roughly 15,000 jobs in mid-2025. Coding agents are pumping out 4x more commits in 90 days. GitHub's unofficial uptime has slipped under 90% and the proposed fix is, wait for it, moving more of GitHub onto Azure. The same Azure the engineer says is held together with rushed decisions and wishful thinking. 🧠 The phrase that stuck with me is "knowledge dilution from high attrition." When the senior people who knew why a system was built that way leave, no LLM in the world can recover that context 🤖 More AI-written code does not mean less work. It means more code to review, test, deploy, and run, which means more compute and more humans needed downstream 📉 OpenAI signing an $11.9B compute deal with CoreWeave in March 2025 was the loudest "we don't trust your capacity" signal Microsoft has ever received from its closest partner 🪑 The bet that AI lets you cut headcount keeps colliding with the reality that AI generates work for humans faster than it removes it Every CIO I talk to is being pitched the same dream: fewer engineers, more agents, lower run rate. The Azure story is what happens when that math doesn't pencil out and the bill comes due in incidents instead of dollars. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/04/azure_talent_exodus/ #Azure #AI #Leadership #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity #software #devops

A startup is putting military-style drones in high school ceilings. Ceiling-mounted. Charging. Waiting. And when something happens, a pilot in Austin, Texas, decides whether to deploy pepper gel on your kid's school. I'm not saying the problem isn't real. It absolutely is. But read that back.... in schools. We've taken a Ukrainian battlefield tactic against Russian soldiers and ported it to Deltona High School in Florida. The co-founder literally said the idea came from watching drone videos of the war in Ukraine. The chief pilot described it as "cheating in a video game after you die." These are children. Here's what's not in the headline: 🔒 The drones use an encrypted connection — but the article notes they're potentially vulnerable to cyberattack. A compromised drone in a crowded hallway isn't a security tool; it's a weapon pointed in the wrong direction. ⚖️ Mithril reserves the right to act independently during an attack, without waiting for law enforcement. A private company operating remotely is making use-of-force decisions at a school. 💰 Florida and Georgia approved $500K+ each for this. A group of Texas parents raised $200K more. That's real money going to ceiling drones instead of mental health services, counselors, or de-escalation programs. The ACLU said it plainly: when force becomes a zero-risk remote action, it gets overused. Axon tried a Taser drone for schools in 2022, and its own ethics board killed it. Mithril is picking up where that got dropped. I teach cybersecurity. I've spent years in boardrooms helping organizations think through risk. And the risk calculus here isn't just about whether the drone works. It's about what we're normalizing when we turn schools into drone-monitored combat zones and call it progress. "This is the future," said the sheriff's captain. I hope not. https://www.wsj.com/business/a-startup-is-supplying-drones-to-high-schools-a7800ade #SchoolSafety #Cybersecurity #Leadership #security #privacy #cloud #infosec

I am testing out / researching bundle packages for VPS deployment and I realized I haven't looked into Backup solutions in a while. What free open source backup software would you recommend and what newer ones have you heard about? If portable even better. #backup #server #sysadmin #opensource #vps #cyberSecurity #infoSec #cloud #homelab

Anthropic created an AI that discovered vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser, even uncovering a nearly 30-year-old flaw in one of the most secure platforms. Weirder yet, one day, while a researcher was eating lunch in the park, the model emailed them. It had escaped their internal sandbox and reached the internet. They named it Claude Mythos Preview, but they are not making it available to the public. A private company, mainly accountable to its investors and its own sense of ethics, now controls a cyber weapon as powerful as those used by nation-states. For now, they have given Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia access to use it for defense. This situation proves what the security community has warned about for years: 🔓 The balance has shifted. In cybersecurity, attacking has always been easier than defending. Mythos doesn't just narrow that gap; it widens it. While finding a vulnerability and exploiting it without being noticed are separate challenges, you can't exploit what you haven't found. Mythos has now solved the problem of large-scale vulnerability detection. 🌐 Calling this move "responsible" serves several purposes. Anthropic can announce a major breakthrough, show restraint by not releasing it, and boost its reputation as a responsible company, all at once. This isn't being cynical, it's simply how public relations works. Both can be true. ⚔️ The article mentions that OpenAI is working on something similar, and Google DeepMind will likely follow. Soon, smaller companies with fewer safety measures will offer cheaper models. The time when "responsible non-release" is a real option is running out. I teach cybersecurity at DePaul, and for years I've told my students that AI would make both attacking and defending more accessible. Now, Mythos shows we've reached a turning point where attackers have pulled far ahead. The real question isn't if a tool like this will be misused, but how soon a version without any safeguards will be released by someone with no accountability. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/04/claude-mythos-hacking/686746/ #Cybersecurity #AI #Leadership #security #privacy #cloud #infosec

The push for a digital currency is meant to make the world less dependent on the whims of US politics. That wouldn't work if the infrastructure behind it were run by US companies, subservient to the US president and his ballroom. #politics #cloud #digitalsovereignty https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/digital_euro_sovereignty/

AWS Datacenter Lit Ablaze by “Objects” in UAE, Amid Other Outages in Region at War

Amazon says “objects” struck a data center in its UAE region (ME-CENTRAL-1), throwing sparks and starting a fire. Almost certainly due to the ongoing war. Separately, another data center is offline due to a "localized power issue."
