87% of German companies were attacked last year, and Russia has caught up with China
THE SO WHAT
When 87% of German companies report data theft, espionage, or sabotage, cyber risk is now a base rate, not an edge case. Treat AI models, training data, and agent infrastructure as prime espionage targets and align your security posture with that reality.

Deep & Emerging TechAttacks on US firms have moved from stealing data to stopping production
The center of gravity in cyber risk has shifted from data theft to operational paralysis—Nike, Coca-Cola, Novo Nordisk, and Abbott getting hit means board conversations should be about downtime, not just privacy. If your incident playbook is still oriented around exfiltration and notifications, you’re underweighting business continuity and OT isolation.
Deep & Emerging TechGetting Harder for Nvidia to Compete, Says Seaport’s Goldberg
When public-market analysts say there’s “more that can go wrong than right” for Nvidia, they’re really talking about how fragile the AI capex boom is to any wobble in demand, pricing, or supply. If you’re planning multi-year GPU-heavy bets, bake in scenarios where unit economics improve slower than expected and alternative accelerators gain share faster than your current roadmap assumes.
Deep & Emerging TechChrome just patched 320+ security flaws, and paid $25K for one of them
Over 320 vulnerabilities in a single Chrome release cycle is a reminder that your browser is effectively part of your attack surface, not just a client. Treat browser version control and extension hygiene as a security control—lock updates, standardize plugins, and assume zero-day exposure windows in your threat model.
Deep & Emerging TechChina’s Grip on Erbium and Yttrium Could Choke Data Center Growth
Rare earth risk for AI isn’t just about magnets anymore—erbium and yttrium are upstream of optical amplifiers and high‑bandwidth links that keep modern data centers usable. Infra teams scaling GPU clusters should be mapping exposure to Chinese-controlled REE supply now, alongside power and water.
