What AI security coverage tracks

AI security spans two directions at once: attacks that target AI systems, and attacks that use AI to move faster. This section follows both, from prompt injection and agent misuse through model supply-chain weaknesses, data exposure, and AI-assisted intrusion and fraud campaigns.

Each item here is compiled from primary sources — vendor advisories, research publications, regulator and law-enforcement notices, and company disclosures — and grouped into ongoing Developments so a single incident and its follow-ups stay together instead of arriving as unconnected headlines.

What you'll find in this section

  • Vulnerabilities and incidents affecting models, agents, and AI infrastructure
  • Attacker use of AI for phishing, fraud, malware, and reconnaissance
  • Vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance as it is published
  • Security requirements arriving through regulation and procurement rules

A Judge Has Blocked the Pentagon’s Attempt to Blacklist Anthropic

A federal judge has blocked the U.S. Department of Defense from designating artificial intelligence developer Anthropic as a national security supply-chain risk. The court characterized the Pentagon's blacklisting attempt as illegal and baseless. The ruling halts procurement restrictions against Anthropic, maintaining the company's eligibility for defense and federal government contracts while establishing a judicial check on national security supply-chain designations targeting domestic AI vendors.

Judge blocks Pentagon blacklist of Anthropic as supply chain risk

A federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the U.S. Department of Defense from blacklisting artificial intelligence developer Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The Pentagon had previously barred military branches and defense entities from deploying Anthropic's Claude foundation models in March. The court's decision temporarily halts the government restriction, potentially reopening procurement channels for defense contractors and military initiatives seeking to integrate Anthropic's enterprise and frontier models into federal workflows.
