Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Very concerned about this too. Especially for smaller banks and credit unions.
The threat of rogue AI agents taking unauthorized actions within our financial institutions, utilities, health systems and more has long since stopped being a hypothetical. If Congress doesn't swiftly act, these already significant risks will only get worse.
