What happened

CyberScoop roundup: A deepfake CSAM lawsuit against xAI’s Grok expanded to add two new alleged victims and Stability AI as a defendant. Proofpoint warns a suspected Chinese espionage group used a Roundcube exploit chain to infiltrate physics and engineering departments in U.S. and Canadian universities, likely an ongoing campaign. Separately, at least two U.S. Army sites were taken down after 404-hijacking defacements were reported. Sysdig documented what it calls the first agentic ransomware incident (Judepuffer), where an AI agent materially accelerated and simplified the attack. Citizen Lab
