Black Hat USA 2026 revealed that Rowhammer attacks can escalate privileges on NVIDIA GPUs in multi-tenant AI infrastructure, exploiting the underprotected GPU memory and driver layer. The conference also featured an unprecedented US government keynote panel focusing on AI's impact on cyber operations and defense strategy.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.
