What we know
An account on X shared the CrowdStrike report via Techmeme: China-linked hackers deployed AI tool ARTEX with a DeepSeek LLM and another model to attack 200+ organizations across 11 days, compromising at least nine. This joins the Binance/DPRK hack as a major cyber event in the same news cycle, pointing to an accelerating trend of state-sponsored actors leveraging AI for offensive operations. Separately, Neuralink's 'Blindsight' vision-restoration product — announced by Elon Musk and retweeted by another account on X — is engineering-ready and awaiting regulatory approval.
