Watchdog Report Highlights Security Risks in IRS-ICE Data-Sharing Agreement

Watchdog Report Highlights Security Risks in IRS-ICE Data-Sharing Agreement

A recent report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has raised significant concerns regarding the security of taxpayer information shared between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The report scrutinizes a 2025 agreement that allowed ICE to access taxpayer data for immigration investigations. This arrangement has been controversial, leading to multiple lawsuits and internal disputes within the agencies. The report highlights issues with the data-sharing process, including inconsistent data formatting and flawed automated matching processes, which resulted in errors and questionable data matches. The agreement led to the resignation of the then-acting IRS commissioner. ICE had requested address information for over 1.2 million individuals, with the IRS providing data for approximately 47,000 people. The report follows a federal judge's ruling that the IRS unlawfully disclosed confidential taxpayer information to ICE.

NSA Collaborates with Anthropic on Mythos AI for Cyber Operations Amid Controversy

NSA Collaborates with Anthropic on Mythos AI for Cyber Operations Amid Controversy

The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly working with Anthropic, a company specializing in cybersecurity AI, to integrate its Mythos model into the agency's operations. According to sources cited by the Financial Times, Anthropic has deployed several engineers to assist the NSA in utilizing Mythos for specific applications. The exact nature of these applications remains unclear, as does the extent to which Mythos is currently being used in the NSA's cyber operations. This collaboration comes despite a federal ban on using Anthropic's technology, which was imposed after the Department of Defense labeled the company a 'supply-chain risk.' This designation was a response to Anthropic's refusal to allow its models to be used for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. The NSA, responsible for intelligence collection and offensive cyber operations, has not confirmed or denied these reports, and Anthropic has not commented.
