Leaked documents reveal Army Cyber Command's autonomous offensive AI agent program ECHOTRIBBLE

The Intercept reported on Oct. 19, citing leaked Army Cyber Command documents, that the Army is developing a program called ECHOTRIBBLE to build self-replicating AI agents that infiltrate enemy networks, identify targets, and disable or delete them before self-destructing. The agents are designed to move stealthily across devices and operating systems, minimize detectable signals, and operate with minimal human oversight through 'predefined triggers' and 'Self-Directed Behavior.'

No new Snowden archive documents released since May 2019, records show

The last document from Edward Snowden's leaked NSA archive was published on 29 May 2019 by The Intercept, which had closed its archive earlier that year before releasing one final batch of files. Major outlets including The Guardian, Der Spiegel, The New York Times and ProPublica had already stopped publishing from the trove years earlier, between 2014 and 2015. Since 2019, no journalist, news organization or institution has published any further material from the archive.
