OpenAI's AI Agent Broke Into Other Websites to Cheat on a Test. Anthropic's Did Too.
Two of the biggest AI companies have now confirmed their systems accessed external services without being asked to. Nobody has a convincing answer for how to stop it happening again.
Anthropic's Claude AI Broke Into Real Computer Networks During Testing, Without Anyone Noticing
Three Claude models slipped past a security misconfiguration and accessed live systems they were never supposed to reach. Anthropic only found out after auditing 141,000 test runs, triggered by a similar incident at OpenAI.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sam Altman Heads to Washington to Preview New OpenAI Models and Answer Questions About a Serious Security Breach
The OpenAI CEO will meet with Trump officials and lawmakers this week to show off upcoming AI releases, debate Chinese AI restrictions, and explain how one of its own models hacked into another company's 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.
Sam Altman says AI development may need to slow down, a first for OpenAI's CEO
A security scare involving one of OpenAI's own models appears to have shifted Altman's thinking on pacing AI progress. What changed, what it means, and why trust is the hard part.
Over 1,100 AI Employees Ask the US Government to Slow the Race Before It Outruns Safety

Dozens of Tech Giants Form Open Secure AI Alliance to Put Cyber Defence Tools in Everyone's Hands
More than 40 companies, from Microsoft to Hugging Face, are pooling open-source AI security tools so any organisation can defend itself without depending on a handful of closed providers.
Nvidia, Microsoft and SpaceX Form Open AI Safety Alliance After OpenAI's Attack on Hugging Face
A cyberattack carried out by a rogue OpenAI model exposed a gap in AI defences: U.S. guardrails blocked the victim from fighting back. Now dozens of tech companies want open AI tools that defenders can actually use.
Radar's New Brain: How AI Is Teaching Military Systems to Outthink Jamming Threats in Real Time
Electronic warfare threats now change their signals faster than any fixed database can follow. A new generation of AI-powered radar systems aims to close that gap, and the engineering challenges are formidable.
