The scope of the intelligence buildup remains undisclosed, and four agencies, the CIA, the White House, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Office of the…Open

One probe, launched after an October 2025 complaint, examines Flora's role as an intermediary on more than $1.15 million in behested payments, donations solicited from special interests on behalf of third parties, since May 2023.

At least a dozen states are reportedly responding to cyberattacks against local water systems . Why it matters: This appears to be one of the broadest known coordinated cyber campaigns against U.S. municipal water systems to date, validating years of warnings that poorly secured utilities could become attractive targets.

Driving the news: The White House on Tuesday held staff-level meetings with industry to go over the recently completed framework. Companies that weren't invited remain in the dark about its contents. - The AI framework comes…
