South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission held the 2026 Digital Ethics Golden Bell championship round in Seoul on Nov. 7 with the National Information Society Agency. The programme uses quizzes to help elementary school students understand issues that can arise in digital environments and build proper usage habits. After preliminaries involving 2,136 students at 17 schools, 51 advanced to the finals. Questions covered AI use, deepfakes, disinformation and cyber violence.

A report said the U.S. Defense Department has created a secret unit to disrupt or neutralise adversaries\' advanced military technologies. The organisation, known as the Technology Support Office, is described as supporting cyberattacks, supply-chain disruption and deception operations, raising questions over its scope and congressional oversight. Politico reported it was set up in April. The Pentagon disputed the report, citing inaccurate information, while the unit\'s operations and budget remain unconfirmed.
