This week, Ben's story is on the looming expiration of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA 2015), a widely supported but currently stalled law that enables cyber threat data sharing between the private sector and government, now at risk of lapsing by September 30 due to congressional inaction and conflicting priorities. Dave’s got the story of how a Georgia court's AI-fueled legal blunder has sparked growing concern that overworked judges nationwide could increasingly miss fake citations generated by AI, prompting urgent calls for better tech training, oversight, and ethical guidance to safeguard the integrity of the U.S. justice system.

This week's ⁠⁠⁠Caveat Briefing⁠⁠⁠ covers a major cyber espionage campaign exploiting a zero-day flaw in Microsoft’s SharePoint server software, compromising about 100 organizations—mostly in the U.S. and Germany—including government entities. Researchers warn that thousands more servers could be at risk, and while Microsoft has issued patches, experts stress that full remediation requires more than just updating software, as a China-linked threat actor may be behind the ongoing intrusions. ⁠Curious about the details?
