Multiple sectors of the PublicNET are reporting compromised log-ins. While the exact nature of these account breaches are as-of-yet undetermined, it seems as though nothing is amiss with the accounts themselves. Users report that SolBank information, credit transactions and contact lists remain uncompromised, but are reporting repeated log-ins from an unknown location, and being logged out of their accounts.
On the average day, thousands of account breaches happen across the NET. However, most of these occur with the goal of moving funds or gaining access to SolBank information.
NSI's technical team has been looking into the issue, and determined that the unknown location pings may be the result of an errant AI within the NET itself.

Regardless of the nature of this purported AI, users are discouraged from accessing the PublicNET at this time. An uptick in the number of users being targeted - and in some cases flatlined - has been on the rise since Friday evening. The current most vulnerable sectors exist within the Cocoon Station and Luna Colony PublicNET Relays, though some sources claim that Hades Colony is also falling victim to these malicious attacks.

Users are encouraged to report any suspicious activity they may encounter, and to exercise caution when utilizing PublicNET services for the duration of the weekend. NSI has reassured us that everything will be under control by the work week's start.
With the uptick in threats surrounding AI, ONN encourages users to discuss the rammifications of unchecked artificial intelligence. This is Leon Delago, with your weekly cybersecurity report, signing off.
OOC: This event will be open for all to join. Users logging in to the PublicNET on 9.11.2022 may message VincentAntony Renierd or Hanasong569 Resident to be engaged in PVP. You will receive opportunities to pick up confidential data fragments upon success or defeat of the enemy AI. We look forward to joining you all as we shake up the NET!
