Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET’s key takeaways AI found thousands of hidden bugs in critical systems. Tech rivals unite to secure shared infrastructure risks. Cyberattack timelines shrink from months to minutes. Today, a group of the world’s biggest tech companies is announcing what is essentially an AI-driven cybersecurity Manhattan Project. As the Cyberwarfare Advisor for the International Association of Counterterrorism & Security Professionals and part of the FBI’s InfraGard Artificial Intelligence Threat and Mitigation Cross-Sector Council, I’ve spent decades profiling global threats, from lecturing at the National Defense University to leading nationwide cyberattack simulations. But the arrival of a new frontier AI from Anthropic represents a paradigm shift that even the most prepared infrastructure specialists are scrambling to navigate. There is a lot to unpack from this announcement, but before I go into the published details, I’m going to try to read between the lines. That’s because the mere existence of this announcement means there’s a lot that remains unsaid. The fact that all of these companies are working together has to be indicative of …
Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, Americans shouldn’t fight for a suicidal continent. Four years ago, the Biden administration was working with the United Kingdom and the European Commission to pay for diminutive comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s war with the Russian Federation over territories where supermajorities of the population identify as Russian. We were told that the Russian-speaking people of Ukraine “belonged” to Ukraine and that the only way to “preserve democracy” was to deny those people a democratic vote to join the Russian Federation. “Democracy” also apparently requires the installation of a Ukrainian dictator, a complete crackdown on an independent press, widespread censorship of public debate on social media, the denial of religious freedom, and a brutal campaign of press-ganging men into military service to die as cannon fodder for a corrupt Ukrainian regime that launders money from U.S. and European taxpayers into the bank accounts of the West’s political and financial elites. Just as globalists in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and across Old (and increasingly Islamic) Europe turned the “Reign of COVID …

The campaign is aimed at both boys and girls, according to Iranian news agency ANA, which says young recruits could take part in intelligence operations, “identity checks and patrols”, as well as carrying out logistical tasks such as preparing meals and distributing equipment and supplies.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) joined Democratic lawmakers in supporting the U.S.’s membership in NATO, after President Trump said he was considering withdrawing from the alliance. “NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. It has underpinned the security of the United States for more than 70 years,” McConnell said in a joint statement with… Source link
The UK and its NATO allies in Europe must prepare for a “worst case scenario” of the US not defending them in a crisis, an influential committee of peers and MPs has warned. Tensions between Donald Trump‘s administration and Sir Keir Starmer‘s government could also compromise the reliability of critical pillars of UK national security, including the maintenance of Trident missiles used in the navy’s nuclear deterrent submarines, intelligence sharing and access to programmes such as the F-35 jet, it said in a report. The Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy urged London to “plan to move away from a bilateral relationship with the United States that is so dependent on the latter for nuclear and intelligence operations, and conventional defence”. Follow latest on Middle East war It also advised the UK, Europe and Canada to develop a plan “for a transition towards greater European leadership of NATO“. The intervention, published on Friday, came as President Trump again lambasted his allies – and the UK in particular – for choosing not to join his …
Sir Keir Starmer faced demands to tear up a 60-year-old defence treaty on Saturday after Iranian drones pierced the perimeter of Britain’s most strategically vital overseas military installation — and it shamefully fell to France, not Britain, to scramble warships to the island’s aid. Cypriot president Nikos Christodoulides spent a lengthy phone call pressing the Prime Minister for a fundamental overhaul of the security arrangements underpinning RAF Akrotiri and Dhekelia, the two Crown-territory bases that together cover 99 square miles of the eastern Mediterranean island. “We need to have an open and frank discussion with the British government with regard to the status of the British bases… the status and the future of the British bases in Cyprus,” said Mr Christodoulides. What Nicosia wants The renegotiation push centres on the 1960 independence treaty — a Cold War-era document that Nicosia regards as wholly inadequate for the security environment now facing the island, The Express understands. Surrendering the bases entirely is not on the table according to reports. What Cyprus is understood to be seeking instead …
Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi (L) meets with U.S. President Donald Trump during a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office of the White House on March 19, 2026 in Washington, DC. Alex Wong | Getty Images In an apparent awkward moment at the Oval Office on Thursday stateside, U.S. President Donald Trump referenced Pearl Harbor in his first meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi after her landslide electoral victory. When asked by a Japanese reporter on why the U.S. did not inform allies such as Japan before carrying out the attacks against Iran on Feb. 28, the U.S. president said it was to maintain the element of surprise. “Who knows better about that. Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor? You believe in surprise much more so than I.” Trump was referencing the surprise Japanese attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet in 1941, which saw the deaths of over 2,400 personnel and drew the U.S. into World War II. Takaichi appeared to draw a deep breath and lean back in her seat with an …

The UK is considering possible options to help defend shipping in the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian attacks, the defence secretary has said. John Healey also signalled that British forces needed to be ready in coordination with allies to evacuate UK nationals from the Middle East if the US and Israeli war with Iran worsens. He said he had spoken to his counterparts in the so-called E5 group of European powers, which includes Germany, France, Italy and Poland, on Wednesday to discuss the crisis. On the threat to oil tankers in the Gulf, the senior cabinet minister said the best way to unblock the vital waterway would be an end to the war between the US, Israel and Iran.
