Concerns were raised about the impact of recent staff cuts at the FDA on its ability to enforce cybersecurity standards, with Rep. Yvette Clarke criticizing previous reductions that diminish the agency’s capacity to evaluate compliance with mandated improvements.

Trump Administration Cuts Funding for Vital Patient Safety Network

April 2, 2025

The Trump administration's decision to terminate funding for the Patient Safety Network (PSNet) has raised significant concerns among healthcare professionals regarding its impact on patient safety initiatives. PSNet, part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has been pivotal in reducing medical errors through research and information sharing. The funding cut followed HHS's announcement of workforce reductions and agency mergers, prompting critics to question the administration's commitment to enhancing federal health program research. Experts, including former PSNet co-editor Dr. Patrick Romano, noted that while the site will remain active, it will no longer be updated, leading to worries about the loss of a crucial resource for fostering transparency and learning in healthcare practices.

Report: AI-Driven Phishing Attacks Surge, Outpacing Traditional Measures

April 2, 2025

The KnowBe4 annual Phishing Trends Report indicates that the rise of artificial intelligence is complicating the detection of phishing attacks, with a notable increase in "polymorphic" phishing campaigns that produce similar but slightly altered messages to bypass security filters. These attacks have led to a 47% rise in undetected phishing attempts, as traditional security technologies struggle to differentiate between known threats and the more sophisticated tactics used in these attacks. The report also reveals a concerning trend of internal phishing threats, including incidents involving North Korean threat actors who impersonate new employees using AI-generated imagery and stolen identification.
