Treasury's notice on information sharing was behind a screen that would not share it
A week whose lightest-looking filings rewarded a second look. The US Treasury published a notice about information sharing that could not be read, CISA disclosed defects in a tool CISA itself distributes, three federal agencies wrote a playbook for AI that disobeys its operator, and HMRC amended the same customs approval process for the second time since July.
- The Treasury's Federal Register notice of 9 October titled "Information Sharing" was retrievable only as an access-restriction page, leaving its substance unreadable.
- CISA's advisory ICSA-26-280-01 disclosed seven CVEs in CISA Malcolm, the agency's own network-monitoring tool, including a hardcoded passwordSecret of "Malcolm."
- NIST, the NSA's Super Intelligence Security Center and CISA published a voluntary ten-practice guide on 16 October for AI agents that act against their operators' controls.
- HMRC amended its export examination-premises approval process on 8 October, three months after the 8 July update it was revising.
