Is AI making us dumber? How chatbots may be eroding our minds

Experts are especially concerned how the youth may be affected, as students increasingly turn to AI for help in classwork.

A Chinese satellite company linked to the country’s military is supplying #Iran-backed #Houthi rebels in #Yemen with imagery to target US warships and international vessels in the Red Sea, according to American officials.

> The Trump administration has repeatedly warned Beijing that Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co Ltd, a commercial group with ties to the People’s Liberation Army, is providing the #Houthis with the #intelligence, according to the #US officials. https://archive.is/2025.04.18-012403/https://www.ft.com/content/628b404b-2a24-4853-8f3c-9caad408ef8f #China

"Sell Your Source": Wer noch einen validen Zugang zu einem #Hackerforum wie XSS, Exploit, RAMP4U, Verified oder #BreachForums hat, kann diesen neuerdings auch verkaufen.

Zur Verbesserung der eigenen Threat #Intelligence kauft ein Schweizer #Cybersecurity Unternehmen nun anonym ungenutzte #Hacker Accounts auf. Fraglich nur, ob diese Strategie wirklich aufgeht, denn die Gegenspieler wissen vermutlich auch, mit wem sie es zu tun haben:

Some Lessons learned from the tabletop exercise of continuing our top-tier #vulnerability #intelligence post "CVE" at #Cytidel

● We still have capability to monitor different Social media platforms and trusted expert sources for vulnerability info impacting products
● Collection of News, blogs, CSIRT updates are still fit to serve purpose
● Following vendor feeds directly is a big win as with sourcing info from primary source

Thank you to @Nonilex. This thread is the most detailed and alarming account of #covert #infosec breaches perpetrated by #DOGE “engineers” (#hackers) that I have read. We are very fortunate that a brave internal #Whistleblower at #NLRB made the report public even after he received personal threats. It reminds me of the movie “Enemy of the State” (1998) starring Will Smith. In both that fictional case and in the current DOGE #intelligence #threat, the technological power of nation states is used, under #ColorOfLaw, to coverup criminal behavior. There are also alarming indications of #Russia participating in stealing or receiving data that was covertly exfiltrated from the agency. We are watching the greatest #intelligence operation against the US as it is happening. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/114342396149660044

"We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on US government systems," said one #threat #intelligence researcher…. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation - #StateSponsored #hackers, reviewed the #whistleblower's technical claims. "The difference is, they [DOGE] were given the keys to the front door," the researcher continued. #criminal #law #Trump #Musk #DOGE #InfoSec #NationalSecurity
