AI Security WeeklyYour Monday Intel Briefing – April 21, 2025

🔍 This Week's Top Intel

✅ CVE Program Avoids Shutdown — For Now
A key pillar of vulnerability tracking nearly went offline. The CVE program, run by MITRE and funded through CISA, was hours away from expiration before a last-minute 11-month extension was approved.
Why it matters: Over 200 organizations rely on CVE data daily. A funding lapse would’ve created a blind spot across the global security ecosystem.

✅ SplxAI Raises $7M to Secure LLMs
Croatian cybersecurity startup SplxAI announced a $7M seed round to stress-test large language models and GenAI tools using high-speed red teaming.
Why it matters: As enterprises race to adopt GenAI, SplxAI is proving that prompt injection, impersonation, and model leaks aren't just theoretical risks.

✅ Ransomware Hits DaVita Health Network
Healthcare provider DaVita confirmed a ransomware attack that encrypted parts of its network. The company is coordinating with law enforcement and security experts.
Why it matters: Healthcare continues to be a prime target for cybercriminals — especially those seeking fast payouts and high-stakes leverage.

🧠 Editor’s Note
