## Resource

Iranian hackers are behind a massive cyberattack wave targeting water and wastewater systems across seven U.S. states, marking one of the most serious assaults on critical infrastructure in years. Meanwhile, AI is accelerating cybersecurity defenses—like Google Chrome’s lightning-fast bug patches—but also empowering deepfakes and scams. A civilian plane crash caused by GPS jamming during a military drill underscores how rapidly evolving tech is reshaping physical safety. On the legal front, xAI sues Minnesota over an AI image-editing ban, claiming free speech violations, while the FBI explores AI for predictive policing, sparking privacy alarms. And in a shocking twist, the Democratic National Committee lost nearly $30,000 to a phishing scam impersonating their chairman—proving even top-tier organizations remain vulnerable to human error and clever fraud.
