‘We Did Not Invite You.’ Citizens Rage at Town Hall Over Proposed Nuclear AI Data Center

University of Michigan and Los Alamos faced resident backlash over a proposed $1.2 billion hyperscale data center in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan.

The University of Michigan partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory on a proposed $1.2 billion, 220,000-square-foot hyperscale data center in Ypsilanti Township. Residents at a Wednesday town hall raised concerns about electricity costs, water usage, noise, and the facility's role in nuclear weapons research. Officials noted the project is far smaller than the nearby $56 billion, 1.4-gigawatt OpenAI data center in Saline Township. Los Alamos said no plutonium or weapons production would occur on site, though the facility would support nuclear stockpile modeling.

Township Fights Nuclear Weapons Data Center By Passing a Moratorium on Electrical Infrastructure

Ypsilanti Township, Michigan passed a 180-day moratorium on electrical infrastructure to delay the University of Michigan and Los Alamos-backed $1.2 billion data center.

The Township Board unanimously approved a six-month moratorium on major electric utility infrastructure on August 18 to delay new substations needed for a planned 220,000-square-foot hyperscale data center partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory for nuclear weapons research. The delay asks power authorities to study noise pollution and grid impacts, following an earlier 365-day moratorium on delivering water to data centers that drew threats of legal action from the university. The university recently selected a 144-acre site on Textile Road and says the facility will not store hazardous nuclear material.

FBI: Hackers using social engineering to breach accounts and steal explicit content

FBI warns hackers use social engineering and password-stuffing to hijack social media accounts and sell victims' explicit content on criminal marketplaces.

The FBI issued an alert on threat actors who breach social media accounts of adults and children using password-stuffing with credentials from data leak sites, impersonation of social media support staff, and cloned login pages, in order to steal and sell explicit content. Stolen content is often posted with victims' personal information, leading to sextortion, harassment, and stalking. Related DOJ cases include a man who pleaded guilty to hacking about 600 Snapchat accounts and a former University of Michigan coach who accessed records of about 150,000 people across 100+ colleges.
