ACTFortiBleed: Sweeping Credential-Harvesting Heist Compromises 30K+ Fortinet Devices

SOCRadar researchers exposed an active large-scale campaign dubbed 'FortiBleed' targeting Fortinet FortiGate firewalls across 194 countries, using credential reuse and SSL VPN hash cracking to compile verified working administrator credentials for between 30,000 and 75,000 devices. Compromised devices are being weaponized as passive network sniffers to harvest additional credentials in a self-reinforcing attack loop attributed to suspected Russian-speaking threat actors, with confirmed victims spanning government agencies, banks, hospitals, telecom operators, and critical infrastructure.

PREPAREOkta Expands Google Cloud Partnership to Secure AI Agents and Chrome

Okta launched Auth0 for AI Agents integrated with Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Runtime, providing enterprise-grade identity controls for AI agent workflows including token vaults, human-in-the-loop approval checkpoints, fine-grained authorization, and MCP server authentication. A forthcoming integration will register agents centrally and route requests through Google Agent Gateway for real-time authorization delegated back to Okta, treating AI agents as managed identities on par with human users.

PREPAREMicrosoft Turns to AWS to Keep GitHub Running Amid AI Surge

Microsoft confirmed a multi-cloud arrangement with AWS to handle surging GitHub compute demand driven by AI agents and Copilot usage, after GitHub recorded nine service incidents in May 2026 alone and availability dropping to roughly 88.4% in June. GitHub is processing 275 million commits per week—on pace for 14 billion annually—as autonomous AI agent activity has outpaced Azure's planned GPU capacity, with the arrangement representing a rare public cross-cloud dependency on a Microsoft flagship product.

PREPAREOnly Half of Planned 2026 US Data Center Capacity Is Actually Under Construction

New data confirms that close to half of all planned US data center builds for 2026 are delayed or canceled due to shortages of transformers, switchgear, and grid interconnection bottlenecks, with Goldman Sachs estimating only 50–60% of near-term planned capacity may come online on schedule. The gap between AI compute demand and physical infrastructure availability is forcing hyperscalers including Microsoft and Google to seek capacity from rivals, raising near-term premiums on existing data center resources.

PREPAREThe Agentic Reckoning: Enterprise AI Has a Runtime Problem, Not a Model Problem

Analysis argues that most production agentic AI failures occur after deployment—when agents interact with enterprise tools, data stores, and permissions—rather than at the model level, shifting the critical bottleneck to runtime governance, observability, and execution controls. The piece outlines why IT and security leaders must address agent identity, access scoping, and audit trails as distinct engineering challenges separate from model selection.

ACTAnthropic Pulls Its Most Powerful AI Models After U.S. Bars Foreign Access

The Trump administration issued an export-control directive requiring Anthropic to suspend all access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals and foreign persons within the US, citing national security concerns after a reported jailbreak. Anthropic disabled the models for all customers to comply, and negotiations between the company and Trump officials to restore access remain ongoing as of mid-June.

PREPARENew usage analytics and updated spend controls for enterprises

OpenAI launched new credit usage analytics and spend controls for ChatGPT Enterprise, providing admins with a unified dashboard tracking consumption by user, product, and AI model across ChatGPT and Codex. Organizations can now set workspace-level credit limits, configure group-specific caps, and allow employees to request additional credits with context—features designed to bring the same financial governance discipline to AI deployments that enterprises apply to other critical investments.

PREPAREZ.ai's open-weights GLM-5.2 beats GPT-5.5 on multiple long-horizon coding benchmarks for 1/6th the cost

Z.ai (formerly Zhipu AI) released GLM-5.2, a 753-billion-parameter open-weights model with a 1-million-token context window that surpasses GPT-5.5 on SWE-bench Pro (62.1 vs. 58.6) and approaches Claude Opus 4.8 on FrontierSWE long-horizon coding benchmarks, at roughly one-sixth the cost of competing closed models. The model is available on Hugging Face under an MIT license, but enterprises using Z.ai's cloud API should note that US congressional scrutiny of PRC-origin AI models in critical infrastructure is ongoing.

WATCHAI chiefs call for regulation collaboration at the G7 summit

G7 heads of state met with AI lab CEOs including Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Demis Hassabis in Évian-les-Bains on June 17, with Amodei calling on democratic nations to cooperate on preventing adversarial access to frontier AI. French President Macron used the forum to criticize the US restrictions on Anthropic as an example of the risks of unilateral AI access controls.

PREPAREDatabricks Launches Lakehouse//RT to Bring Real-Time Analytics Directly to the Lakehouse

Databricks announced Lakehouse//RT at its Data + AI Summit 2026, a real-time analytics product powered by the new Reyden compute engine that delivers sub-100-millisecond latency at 12,000 queries per second directly on governed Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg tables—eliminating the need for a separate real-time serving layer. The launch also included LTAP architecture for unified transactional-analytical workloads, expanded Agent Bricks, and Genie One, an agentic assistant connecting to 50-plus enterprise apps.

WATCHWorld Leaders Want American AI, But Not US Control Over Access

At the G7 summit, leaders including France's Macron and India's Modi raised concerns that the US could unilaterally cut off allied nations' access to American AI models, elevating AI access control into a sovereignty issue for governments and enterprises in regulated industries. The debate—crystallized by the Anthropic Mythos restrictions—is prompting international calls for consistent cross-border AI governance frameworks.

WATCHAmericans and AI 2026: Chatbots, Smart Devices and Views on Impact

Pew Research Center's survey of 5,119 US adults found that roughly half now use AI chatbots, with a quarter doing so daily—up sharply from one-third in 2024—while pessimism also grew, with nearly 40% expecting AI to make society worse over the next 20 years and 67% expressing little confidence in the US government to regulate AI effectively. ChatGPT leads all platforms at 44% adult reach, with Gemini at 24% and Claude at 6%.
