AI Invasion: How DeepSeek and Other Foreign Platforms Challenge U.S. Tech Security
Hackers behind the AT&T breach set their sights on high-profile targets, including political figures. Armed with data from a staggering 50 billion records, they aimed to offer a lookup service. With a cast of characters straight out of a cyber-thriller, this breach is a reminder that even your phone bill might become a plot twist.
Hot Take:
DeepSeek is the new TikTok of AI – capturing hearts, minds, and unfortunately, user data. Meanwhile, the AI arms race is ramping up, and it’s not all love letters and “Kumbaya.” Throw in some power grid plotting neo-Nazis, AI-generated extortion videos, and mystery drones, and you’d think we’re living in a poorly written cyber-thriller. Spoiler alert: we are.
Key Points:
- DeepSeek’s AI platform is raising concerns about US dominance and data privacy.
- Security researchers found DeepSeek’s database exposed, compromising over 1 million records.
- Yahoo Boys are using AI-generated news to extort victims with fake reports.
- Hacking groups are leveraging AI chatbots for malicious purposes across 20 countries.
- Mystery drones over New Jersey were allegedly authorized, according to the White House.
