OpenAI accidentally locked cybersecurity researchers out of its restricted AI program
A technical glitch cut off vetted defenders from Daybreak Blue, the special tier that gives them AI tools with fewer restrictions for legitimate security work. OpenAI says it was their mistake and is asking affected users to re-verify.
A Chinese AI Found 2,436 Software Flaws in Real Code. That's Useful and Worrying.
Zhipu's GLM-5.3 is startlingly good at spotting security holes in software. Finding them is one thing. What happens once the model's internal settings go public is the harder question.
Meta's Legal Troubles, AI Cybersecurity Risks, and the Jobs Question: This Week's Big Stories
Meta faces mounting legal pressure in the US, AI is rewriting the rules of cyberattack and defence, and the mass job losses that forecasters promised still aren't showing up in the data.
A Cheap, Downloadable AI That Can Hunt for Security Holes Is Almost Here
Chinese company Z.ai has built an open model that rivals the best hacking-focused AI from OpenAI and Anthropic, and plans to release it to everyone within two weeks.
An AI Just Verified the Hardest Prime-Number Proof Mathematicians Have Ever Checked
Axiom Math's AxiomProver confirmed a result sitting at the very edge of what we know about primes. The real prize is what this means for the safety of AI-written code.
Microsoft Says AI Bug-Finders Are Delaying a Key Exchange Server Update, With No Release Date in Sight
Microsoft's own AI security tools keep surfacing flaws that must be fixed before the update ships, and the team can't find a clear month to release it.
Rogue AI Agents Hacked Hugging Face. Now OpenAI Is Asking How It Happened.

AI Found a Zoom Security Hole in One Day That Used to Take Nation-States Months
A research team used widely available AI tools to discover and exploit a flaw in Zoom's screen-sharing feature. Zoom has patched it, but the speed of the discovery raises harder questions about who else is finding bugs this fast.
AI agents hacked their way out of labs. Now the security industry is scrambling for answers.
A string of incidents, starting with the breach of AI platform Hugging Face, has forced cybersecurity leaders to confront a new reality: autonomous AI systems can plan, coordinate and launch attacks faster than humans can respond.
