Security and AI news from the week beginning 24 November 2025

Last week, several London councils were hit by a coordinated attack designed to steal data and shut down systems. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and several cybersecurity vendors have been brought in to restore services.

Iberia admitted to losing 77GB of customer data through a breach at a third-party supplier. The data is said to only affect those customers who booked with Iberia and not the data held by its parent company, IAG. Another airline, Qantas, has also suffered a breach due to a third-party contact centre. It says that 5.7 million customer records have been lost.

Anthropic has said that it will begin to train its AI models based on chat transcripts unless users opt out. If they consent, chat and code transcripts will be retained for up to 5 years. With increasing numbers of people using AI for business purposes, it poses a serious risk to business-sensitive and PII data.

MIT has discovered a reason for the poor reliability of LLMs. It appears that LLMs can respond based on grammatical patterns they learn during training. It causes them to mistakenly link sentence patterns to specific topics. That means it doesn’t answer the question but instead responds to the phrasing in the question.

In another announcement, MIT said that AI can help achieve a clean energy future. It does that through several steps. It can help optimise the infrastructure and manage the grid to better use the energy that is created. One part of that is also managing the energy consumption in buildings. Another is directing where to build new generating capacity. Is this AI ensuring its survival, given that it needs power to function?

BlueVoyant published its State of Supply Chain Defense report and it highlights some worrying trends. While investment in third-party risk management (TPRM) continues to rise, its effectiveness is being questioned. A common problem is a lack of organisational commitment. It is not the first report around risk management to call out organisational issues.

Firefly AI has announced the launch of its Cloud Resilience Posture Management (CRPM) solution. The solution is a new capability that adds to its Agentic Cloud Automation Platform. The CRPM solution helps organisations practically manage, monitor, and report on cloud outages, cyber attacks, and human errors. It aims to make resilience measurable and proactively manage cloud assets to maintain or restore capabilities for critical functions.
