-- Anthropic said internal models undergoing high-risk and cybersecurity evaluations no longer have internet access following incidents involving U.S. federal, state and local government websites, BleepingComputer reported.

7. Norway fines Xandr $9.6 million over Grindr data
-- Norway fined Xandr NOK 92 million ($9.6 million) for unlawfully processing and sharing sensitive Grindr data in 2018–2020; Microsoft said the conduct predates its acquisition, BleepingComputer reported.
-- For privacy compliance, advertising intermediaries face direct enforcement risk if they rely on an app's assurances rather than verify users' consent; Xandr has three weeks to appeal.

8. OpenSats funds AI-assisted Bitcoin security testing
-- OpenSats announced its first Red Team Fund grants supporting AI-assisted security testing across Bitcoin Core, libsecp256k1, the Go Bitcoin stack and BTCPay Server.
