Risky Bulletin: Ukraine's top prosecutor resigns amid scam call center scandal
Ukraine's top prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko resigned after NABU arrested a deputy for taking bribes protecting scam call centers running fake investment platforms.
Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau NABU arrested Serhiy Kropyva, Deputy Head of International Cooperation at the Prosecutor General's Office, alleging officials took monthly protection fees from a network of 100-500 scam call centers luring victims into fake investment platforms, with bribes reportedly growing from $700,000 to $3.5 million per month. Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned on Monday, calling it a political decision, while Kropyva was fired with bail set at 120 million hryvnias ($2.7 million) and over 100 call centers shut down in the past month. The newsletter also briefly covers a cyberattack crippling more than 80 Luxembourg medical practices via payment vendor BMS Engineering, ShinyHunters' claimed theft of 200,000 Florida DMV driver records, a cyberattack on the American Meteor Society, and school closures in Springfield, Massachusetts.

DriveZero: End-to-End Driving Beyond Human Demonstrations
DriveZero pairs a frozen vision-foundation-model perception stack with a PPO-trained closed-loop RL teacher to beat replay experts on nuPlan.
DriveZero is an end-to-end camera-only autonomous-driving planner that separates perception and action. Its DriveVFM perception backbone consolidates frozen vision foundation models (DINOv3, SigLIP2, SAM, Depth Anything V2) from raw images without task annotations, while DriveRL trains a privileged PPO teacher policy through closed-loop rollouts in interactive worlds built from real driving logs. The planner distills this teacher, achieving a 93.57 mean nuPlan score across Val14, Test14-hard and Test14-random splits and beating the Log-Replay expert on all three. It also sets state of the art on NAVSIMv1, NAVSIMv2 and closed-loop HUGSIM without human trajectory supervision.

AI-Driven Threat Intelligence for Gulf Enterprises: Why Detection Speed Is Now a Regulatory Requirement
Cyble argues GCC regulators' 6-72 hour breach-notification deadlines make AI-powered detection essential for Gulf enterprises.
Cyble's blog highlights that the UAE Information Assurance Standard v2 requires incident notification within 6 hours of detection, while Saudi Arabia's SAMA cybersecurity framework and NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls converge on 72-hour reporting. It argues that compliance clocks start at detection, not response, and that IAS v2 mandates 24/7 monitoring with defined SLAs for Tier 1 critical infrastructure entities. The piece promotes Cyble Vision's AI-powered threat intelligence for continuous exposure monitoring and audit-ready detection logs.

Florida and Texas move to block Flock cameras over privacy concerns
Florida and Texas move to end use of Flock license plate cameras, citing privacy concerns and database misuse by police.
Florida's Department of Transportation said it will cease using license plate readers, such as Flock's cameras, on state highways and has 30 days to remove them, following Governor DeSantis calling the technology 'out of control'. Texas separately ordered state agencies to stop funding Flock cameras, citing abuse including the indictment of a Lufkin officer on 100 felony counts for allegedly searching Flock's database without authorization. Flock operates roughly 130,000 license plate readers across the US, and towns including Evanston, Cambridge, and Eugene report the company reinstalled cameras after contracts were terminated.
