What happened

A batch of security stories: Axios reports the U.S. NSA is using Anthropic’s Claude Mythos despite DoD supply-chain concerns, highlighting tensions between AI adoption and national security risk. CISA added multiple vendor flaws (including Cisco Catalyst, Kentico Xperience, PaperCut NG/MF, Synacor ZCS, Quest KACE SMA, JetBrains TeamCity) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Incidents include a 24-hour DDoS that disrupted Bluesky (pro-Iran group claimed responsibility), a suspected data breach of France’s ANTS ID system exposing applicant PII, and a Vercel breach tied to a compromise
