Deep dives
Lockbit Takedown Led by FBI and NCA
The FBI and the UK's National Crime Agency led a successful takedown of Lockbit, resulting in key assets being seized, affiliates arrested, and rewards offered for information. Despite the triumph, the impact on the threat actor economy and community remains a topic of discussion.
Air Canada Court Order on Chatbot Error
Air Canada faced a court order to honor a refund promised by its chatbot, conflicting with the airline's main bereavement policy page. The defense that the chatbot is a separate legal entity was rejected, raising questions about user trust and ethical responsibility.
