White House to give US agencies Anthropic Mythos access, Bloomberg News reports

Published by Sam Flores

April 16 : The U.S. government is planning to make a version of Anthropic’s frontier AI model Mythos available to major federal agencies amid concerns that the tool could sharply increase cybersecurity risk, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic’s “Project Glasswing,” a controlled initiative as part of which select organizations are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity purposes. Mythos has found “thousands” of major vulnerabilities in operating systems, web browsers and other software. Its capabilities to code at a high level have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them, experts said. Gregory Barbaccia, federal chief information officer at the White House Office of Management and Budget, told Cabinet department officials in an email on Tuesday that the OMB was setting up protections to allow their agencies to begin using Mythos, according to Bloomberg News. “We’re working closely with model providers, other industry partners, and the intelligence community to ensure …

Federal agencies skirt Trump’s Anthropic ban to test its advanced AI model, Politico reports

Published by Sam Flores

April 14 : Federal agencies and government officials are quietly sidestepping U.S. President Donald Trump’s ban on working with Anthropic, Politico reported on Tuesday. The Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation is actively testing Anthropic’s frontier AI model Mythos’ hacking prowess, the report said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Anthropic, the White House and the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Staff on at least three congressional committees held or requested briefings from the company to learn about Mythos’ cyber scanning capabilities over the past week, the report added. Anthropic’s co-founder Jack Clark said at the Semafor World Economy event on Monday that the company is discussing Mythos with the Trump administration even after the Pentagon cut off business with the U.S. AI company following a contract dispute. The nature and details of Anthropic’s talks with the U.S. government, including which agencies are involved, were not immediately clear. Mythos, announced on April 7, is Anthropic’s “most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks,” the company said …

Iranian hackers are targeting American critical infrastructure, US agencies warn

Iranian hackers are targeting American critical infrastructure, US agencies warn

Published by skeptic

The U.S. government is warning that Iran-backed hackers are escalating their tactics by targeting American critical infrastructure systems with the aim of causing disruption. In a joint advisory published Tuesday, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the U.S. Department of Energy collectively warned that Iranian government hackers have been exploiting internet-facing systems used across a range of sectors. These include water and wastewater utilities, as well as energy and local government facilities. The agencies did not specifically name any of the targets but said that the hacks were aimed at causing “disruptive effects within the United States” and had already resulted in “operational disruption and financial loss.” The hackers targeted programmable logic controllers and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) products, which are used to control and manage industrial equipment and systems in critical infrastructure operations, the agencies said. The agencies said that the hackers were able to manipulate information displayed on these devices and maliciously interact with project files that store important device configurations. The …

Thousands dead and neighbourhoods razed to the ground: Aid agencies fear southern Lebanon is becoming the new Gaza

Thousands dead and neighbourhoods razed to the ground: Aid agencies fear southern Lebanon is becoming the new Gaza

Published by Sam Flores

More than five weeks into the US-Israeli war on Iran, aid agencies have warned that attacks on Lebanon have been taken straight from the Gaza playbook and may amount to war crimes. The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is rapidly deteriorating, with nearly 1,500 people killed, including 130 children, since the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah dragged the country into the regional war on 2 March. Over one million people have been displaced, according to aid organisations. As well as an intense bombing campaign, the Israeli army has invaded the country, with plans to occupy swathes of the south in order to create a “buffer zone” along its northern border. It has said that it must do this in order to push back Hezbollah, which has fired almost 5,000 rockets, missiles and drones at Israel since the outbreak of the conflict. Smoke rises from Israeli artillery shelling on the village of Bayada as it is seen from Tyre city, south Lebanon (AP) “I have now instructed to further expand the existing security zone in order to finally …

Trump Administration Agencies Post Easter Messages Celebrating Christ’s Resurrection

Trump Administration Agencies Post Easter Messages Celebrating Christ’s Resurrection

Published by Sam Flores

Numerous previous presidents have issued statements in recognition of Easter Sunday. This year, the Trump administration went a step farther, with several key Cabinet departments heralding Christ’s resurrection on their official social media accounts. The Defense Department shared a post on X from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “The tomb is empty. The promise is fulfilled. Through His sacrifice, we are redeemed. We stand firm in faith, courage, and truth.” “Today, as millions of Christians gather in their churches across the nation to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, this Department —- is proud to protect and defend religious liberty,” it said. The posts drew thousands of comments. Some people expressed joy at the departments’ open embrace of Christianity; others were outraged, saying government agencies should not be promoting the doctrine of a particular faith. Hegseth frequently invokes his evangelical faith as head of the armed forces, depicting a Christian nation trying to vanquish its foes with military might. Last week, Hegseth hosted his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began. …

Contributor: Investigate the AI campaigns flooding public agencies with fake comments

Published by Sam Flores

California built its tradition of open government — including for citizen boards that set the rules for such functions as automotive repair and security guard licensing — precisely to keep well-funded corporate interests in check. Lobbyists and special interests are constantly scheming to defeat the will of the majority. Now they are able to do more damage using artificial intelligence to simulate fake grassroots opposition to clean air measures, and they are surreptitiously using the identities of real people to deceive regulators. Last June, the South Coast Air Quality Management District received more than 20,000 comments opposing a pair of clean air rules that would have prevented 2,500 premature deaths and 10,000 new cases of asthma. A February investigation by the Los Angeles Times revealed that those comments were submitted through CiviClick, a Washington-based AI-powered comment generation platform, orchestrated by a local political consultant with ties to the natural gas industry. When the district’s cybersecurity team reached out to a small sample of commenters to verify their identities, a majority of respondents said that they …

In a Big Reversal, Zohran Mamdani Tells NYC Agencies to Use TikTok

In a Big Reversal, Zohran Mamdani Tells NYC Agencies to Use TikTok

Published by skeptic

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who rode a social media-fueled campaign to Gracie Mansion, is reversing an Eric Adams–era directive barring TikTok from government-owned devices. Local agencies will now be able to post about their projects on the app, though with new guardrails to protect city networks. “The Mamdani administration is committed to using every tool in our toolbox to communicate with New Yorkers,” says the email to agencies, obtained by WIRED. “At a moment when people are turning to city government for information about free services, emergency situations, upcoming events, and more, we want to open up new avenues of communication with the public and help deliver the information New Yorkers need.” In August 2023, then-mayor Adams barred the use of TikTok on government devices, joining the ranks of other state and federal agencies that at the time deemed the app a major security risk. Adams spokesperson Jonah Allon said then that the city’s Cyber Command office had decided that TikTok, which was owned by the Chinese-based company ByteDance, “posed a security threat …

How Federal Agencies Got Caught Up in Trump’s Anti-Immigration Crusade

How Federal Agencies Got Caught Up in Trump’s Anti-Immigration Crusade

Published by skeptic

President Donald Trump’s administration has made immigration the centerpiece of its policy agenda. Across the government, agencies have been asked to find new offices for immigration authorities, share sensitive data on immigrants, and help push immigrants off of government services. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) received an unprecedented amount of funding through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocated nearly $80 billion to DHS, with $45 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement alone. ICE has doubled in size since Trump took office; the agency claims it has hired an additional 12,000 new agents. But the effort to target immigrants has spread beyond DHS and across the government, pulling agencies whose work had little or nothing to do with immigration previously into the melee. Last year, WIRED reported how DHS was building a database to track and surveil immigrants, pulling in data from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Internal Revenue Service, and state-level voting data. Months later, even more agencies are involved. WIRED spoke to workers across seven agencies including the SSA, the …
