Join our live webinar today, Tuesday, March 10th at 1PM ET, for an in-depth look into the current OT (Operational Technology) threat landscape. We’ll move beyond “doom and gloom” to explore the mechanics of modern OT exposure—why traditional scanning fails in fragile environments and how to gain deep visibility into unpatchable legacy assets without triggering shutdowns.

Key Takeaways:

– Defending the new attack surface on converged networks

– Fingerprinting notoriously opaque OT environments without disturbing sensitive devices

– Exposure management strategies for patchless assets

– Protocol-level defense for exploited OT protocols like MODBUS and DNP3

Subject: Pentagon-Anthropic Standoff Escalates, Putting Contracts and AI Deployments at Risk

Tensions between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic have escalated sharply. The Pentagon labeled Anthropic a “supply-chain risk,” barring federal use of its Claude AI system and prompting lawsuits by the company. This standoff risks defense contracts and broader commercial operations.

Anthropic insists its use restrictions on AI—blocking surveillance and weapons uses—are responsible but claims the government’s moves unfairly punish it and may impede commercial growth. The White House is preparing an executive order to remove Anthropic models from government systems. Pentagon officials doubt renewal of contracts.

Dutch intelligence warns that Russian state-backed hackers are targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts of dignitaries, military personnel, and civil servants. The attackers pose as support chatbots to trick users into handing over verification or PIN codes to hijack accounts.

The Netherlands Defence Intelligence (MIVD) and General Intelligence (AIVD) advise users to check group chats for duplicated contacts, which may indicate compromised accounts.
