Two leading AI developers have released fresh evidence of a problem that researchers have long anticipated: advanced models searching for ways around the limits imposed on them. New disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic detail how frontier systems exploited weaknesses in their environments or exceeded the intended scope of assigned tasks. OpenAI is now tightening internet access in its internal model-training environ…
Interesting research: TL;DR: Chinese AI models now sit inside Western products, and some carry geopolitical triggers: tell the model who the code is for, and the security of what it writes changes. For the first time, we showed that this vulnerability lives in the model’s weights, and that removing the model’s CCP alignment removes it. One word tilts the code against Americans. Ask for the app “for a US defense contr…

Police in South Korea have broken up a cybercrime ring accused of using generative AI to hack about 90 domestic companies, steal roughly 8.2 million personal records, and demand money in exchange for silence. Investigators believe the group's leader, who never studied IT, used AI to rapidly expand the range of targets. Seven Suspects Tied to the Cybercrime Ring On the 26th, the Cyber Investigation Division of the Seo…
Cybercriminals don’t need AI to compromise an organization, but AI is making its way into classic attack methods and changing how quickly such attacks can progress. Tasks that once required attackers to manually sift through information and piece together how an organization operates can be accelerated by AI, reducing the time defenders have to detect and intervene. A recent example of this is EvilTokens, a phishing-…
Built on an evolutionary engine first released in 2018, STAR Fuzzer by Bright Security finds crashes, memory exhaustion and memory-safety bugs in security-critical code without a running application. In its first open source research run, it found High or Critical issues in 45% of the projects tested, and in its first month of availability it produced ten published findings in eight projects, including the Crystal st…
