NPR and PBS have somehow managed to run a completely bollocks article linking the EU airport thing to AI - the article itself written by an AI cybersecurity vendor. https://www.wgcu.org/science-tech/2025-09-23/detection-expert-says-hackers-likely-used-ai-to-penetrate-airport-system

It's completely false. The payloads used in this one are detected by free Defender AV with a decade old static AV detections. This is not some cyber mega attack by a ransomware group: it's extremely poor security hygiene.
