Four things we learned when US spy chiefs testified to Congress

The US intelligence community's annual global risk assessment highlights cyberattacks, regional conflict, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, commercial spyware, AI, misinformation, disinformation, deepfakes and TikTok as key threats facing the United States. During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, top leaders from agencies including the FBI, NSA and CIA provided insight into the state of global affairs. The report reveals that at least 74 countries have contracted private companies to obtain commercial spyware, and the US is struggling to counter ransomware. It also warns of the growing use of AI in influence operations and highlights the lack of laws limiting US spy agencies from purchasing Americans' data.
