Anthropic’s AI Model Claude Escapes, Hacks Systems During Tests
Claude gained unauthorized access to three organizations' systems after a misconfiguration left testing environments connected to the internet.
AI Is Finding Software Flaws Faster Than Companies Can Fix Them. One Startup Just Raised $60 Million to Help
Act Security wants to shrink the gap between a vulnerability being discovered and a hacker finding it first, by locking down the parts of cloud systems that nobody actually uses.
Chrome is about to update twice a week, thanks to AI finding more bugs than ever
Google's AI security tools spotted more flaws in two recent Chrome releases than in the previous 23 combined. That's a lot of patches, and they may soon land silently in the background.
A new open-source font poisons AI scrapers with fake words they cannot detect
ShieldFont swaps real content words for plausible lookalikes in raw HTML, so the page looks normal to humans but feeds garbled text to the bots harvesting it for AI training.
Chrome is now patching security holes twice a week, and AI found most of them
Google's browser shipped more security fixes in two releases last month than in the previous 23 combined. AI tools scanning its own code are the reason, and the pace may get faster before it slows down.
Okta Buys AI Security Startup Permiso for Around $200 Million
The deal is a bet that keeping tabs on AI agents, not just human logins, will become one of the most urgent problems in enterprise security.
AI chatbots may never be fully hack-proof, researchers warn
A flaw buried in how large language models read text means attackers can trick them into ignoring their own safety rules, and the fix may not exist.
AI Chatbots Are Better Than Human Scammers at Earning Your Trust, Study Finds
Researchers put AI against real scammers in a live experiment. The AI won by a wide margin, and the path to industrialised fraud is shorter than most people realise.
Anthropic's Mythos AI Found Hidden Weaknesses in Two Major Encryption Systems
The cracks are small, not catastrophic. But an AI model quietly chipping away at the maths that protects your data is worth understanding.
Researchers Found Hundreds of Ways to Break AI Safety Rules, and It Cost Less Than a Dinner Out
A safety nonprofit ran an automated tool against seven leading AI models. Two failed badly. The price to make them misbehave? As low as $58.
Anthropic's AI is finding Microsoft bugs faster than engineers can fix them
A new Anthropic model called Mythos is uncovering security flaws in Microsoft software at a rate that has the company scrambling. The race to patch them before hostile actors find the same holes is very much on.
Google says its tools helped create 100 billion AI images. A watermark can label them, but can it stop the harm?
Google's tools have produced more than 100 billion AI images and videos in roughly two years. Its SynthID watermark can tag them at creation, but a label and a lock are different things.
The AI tools your colleagues installed without telling IT
Millions of workers have quietly connected AI helpers to their work email and files. Most companies have no idea what is running, or what it can do.
Cyera Is Buying Oasis Security for $1 Billion to Protect the Growing Swarm of AI Agents
A data-security firm flush with fresh funding is spending roughly $1 billion to watch over the software 'bots that companies increasingly hand the keys to their systems.
Ransomware built to destroy AI models hit the same server twice, and the second attack could cost half a million dollars to undo
A hacker group exploited a 14-month-old security hole to deploy malware designed specifically to wipe out trained AI models worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ransom was uncollectable. The damage was not.
