A bipartisan initiative in the US Congress is seeking to ban artificial intelligence (AI) from China, Russia and other countries considered hostile for use in US authorities.

South Korea has temporarily banned the Chinese AI DeepSeek. The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) based its decision on data protection concerns.

Since the discovery of LLMJacking by the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) in May 2024, this threat vector has evolved rapidly. Just as large language models (LLMs) are constantly improving and finding new applications, cybercriminals are also adapting and using new ways to gain unauthorized access to these powerful systems.

The Australian government has ordered a ban on the Chinese AI shooting star DeepSeek on all government devices. The Department of Home Affairs justifies the move with "unacceptable security risks" for the government's IT infrastructure.
