Srsly Risky Biz: Chipping Away at Chinese AI Risks

The Trump administration is addressing dual AI-related risks from China: national security threats and global access to powerful hacking tools.

Meanwhile, a coordinated cyberattack on Minnesota water systems has raised concerns about Iranian state-backed hackers targeting critical infrastructure. Security firm Tenable linked the attack pattern to CyberAv3ngers, an IRGC-associated group. Although no formal attribution exists, the timing aligns with recent U.S. warnings about increased Iranian cyber activity.
