1. Hormuz traffic hits multi-week low after renewed US-Iran strikes
-- Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed to a multi-week low as the United States and Iran exchanged fresh strikes and disputed whether the waterway was open, Reuters and Bloomberg reported.
-- Brent's 5.6% daily rise to $79.41 shows the renewed shipping risk is already feeding into energy prices, with further disruption threatening freight costs and inflation.
2. Ukrainian drone attacks kill three in Moscow region
-- A second day of large-scale Ukrainian drone attacks killed at least three people and wounded five in districts around Moscow, according to regional officials cited by Bloomberg and France 24.
-- Sustained strikes near the Russian capital increase civilian security risk and force Russia to divert air-defense capacity from other military and infrastructure targets.
3. TSMC sales jump 36% as AI chip demand holds
-- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported a 36% increase in quarterly sales and plans two additional advanced-chip packaging plants in Chiayi, according to Bloomberg and Reuters.
-- More packaging capacity would ease a key AI-hardware bottleneck, reinforcing Taiwan's central role in a supply chain exposed to geopolitical and concentration risks.
4. New York Times reporters subpoenaed over Air Force One coverage
-- Multiple New York Times reporters received subpoenas tied to their reporting on Air Force One, the Associated Press reported.
-- Compelled disclosure in a newsgathering case creates civil-liberties and legal exposure for confidential sources, potentially chilling scrutiny of government decisions.
5. Internet scans target exposed MCP servers and AI credentials
-- SANS Internet Storm Center observed scanning for publicly reachable Model Context Protocol servers and credentials used by AI assistants.
-- For operators, exposed agent interfaces are a concrete security risk: leaked tokens or weak access controls can enable data theft and unauthorized tool execution.
