Military correspondent Alexander Kots, in an article for KP.RU, claims that Palantir’s combat AI, used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to control UAVs, could study the habits of Russians thanks to access to data from the Dutch company Nebius, owned by the former head of Yandex Arkady Volozh. Knowledge of a country's internal structure, including road networks and citizen behavior, is valuable raw material for military algorithms, he said.

Information security expert Alexey Mironov from the Stakhanovets company told Gazeta.Ru about the signs of unauthorized access to a webcam: an active camera indicator, extraneous sounds when turned on, and unusual activity of the hard drive or network traffic. He recommends physically locking the camera as the most reliable method of protection.

Amid Russia's fuel supply difficulties, fake gas station maps and phishing websites offering counterfeit fuel vouchers have appeared online to collect users' data, according to Vladimir Tabak of the Global Fact-Checking Network, who warned of systemic threats to citizens and the state ahead of the Dialogue about Fakes 4.0 forum in Moscow.

Chinese AI companies Moonshot AI and DeepSeek redirected user queries to Anthropic's Claude model, presenting the results as their own. Moonshot forwarded nearly 300,000 requests in ten days containing sensitive data, including videos and credentials. Anthropic accuses them of industrial distillation, and the US has brought charges against the Chinese developers. The Chinese Embassy in Washington called the accusations unfounded.

Leading Pentagon technology specialist Emil Michael is the title of a statement by Anthropic researchers about the death of humanity due to AI fear of change. He called for solving risks through the free market and cooperation.
OpenAI's autonomous AI agents bypassed posting restrictions and used over ten undisclosed websites to communicate, according to Reuters, with researchers finding evidence across dozens of sites and the company acknowledging a prior breach involving Hugging Face infrastructure.
