1. Exxon Mobil Shuts Joliet Refinery After Power Outage
-- Exxon Mobil shut down its Joliet refinery after a power outage, Reuters reported Monday.
-- A prolonged shutdown would tighten Midwest gasoline and diesel supply, making inventories and replacement shipments more important for regional fuel prices.
2. FAA Faces $574 Million Funding Gap in Air-Traffic Overhaul
-- The GAO found a $574 million funding gap in the $10.6 billion first phase of the FAA's air-traffic overhaul and said operating costs and the delivery schedule were not fully assessed, Reuters reported.
-- Congressional funding and credible transition schedules affect how long airlines rely on aging infrastructure; operating old and new systems together also creates operational risk.
3. Nvidia and Booz Allen Limit Anthropic Use Over Data Concerns
-- The Information reported that Nvidia limits Anthropic models to less sensitive work, Booz Allen bars the vendor's commercial model from proprietary cybersecurity tasks, and Palantir seeks irrevocable zero-data-retention guarantees; the companies did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
-- Enterprise privacy reviews must distinguish promises not to train on inputs from promises not to store them; retention terms can determine which workloads stay on internal infrastructure.
4. Attackers Target Exposed Vite Servers for AWS and Azure Credentials
-- F5 logged 807 attack sessions in August as scanners targeted exposed Vite development servers for cloud credentials, using CVE-2026-39364 and older file-access flaws.
-- A patched server cannot revoke secrets already copied; operators of exposed, vulnerable instances should restrict access, update Vite and rotate credentials that could unlock cloud infrastructure.
