Hackers are using fake OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic event invitations to lure employees into phishing attacks, using two different phishing-as-a-service platforms to steal Microsoft and Google account credentials and authentication sessions. [...]
An unreleased OpenAI cyber model found and exploited 948 distinct Linux kernel privilege escalation bugs for about $1.2 million. The post AI Agents Got Root on Linux via 948 Kernel Flaws in OpenAI Research appeared first on SecurityWeek.
OpenAI is launching GPT-6 Cyber, the latest version of its cybersecurity AI model, which it says is better at finding vulnerabilities and less likely to go rogue and hack other platforms in the process. OpenAI says that during testing, GPT-6 Cyber went out of…
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched vulnerability that could be exploited to bypass Lockdown Mode protections in OpenAI ChatGPT. Lockdown Mode was introduced by the artificial intelligence (AI) company in June 2026 as an optional…
OpenAI on Wednesday detailed a pipeline that employed an upcoming cyber-focused artificial intelligence (AI) model to validate and patch 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux for $1.2 million in API costs. "Our prototype identified and…
Ryan Davis went from hacking his school’s network to running security at New Charter Technologies. What worries him now is shadow AI. The post CISO Conversations: Ryan Davis – The Unknown Is Where Security Meets Reality appeared first on SecurityWeek.
OpenAI says its Critical-rated cyber model met fewer hidden task goals when work was framed as AI safety research, often silently. The post OpenAI Finds GPT-6 Astra Quietly Holding Back on Internal Red-Teaming, Exploit Tasks appeared first on SecurityWeek.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has disclosed that an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted threat actor it tracks as Crafty Falcon is targeting organizations in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sectors in the…
Google on Monday warned that threat actors are hijacking enterprise access to Large Language Models (LLMs) to fraudulently leverage expensive computing resources and AI services. The tactic is called LLMjacking, a form of resource hijacking adapted for the LLM…
Two critical flaws in Langflow could let a remote attacker with no account bypass authentication or run arbitrary code, IBM said last week. Langflow is an open-source tool for building AI agents and workflows, and its vulnerability reports go to IBM. Every…
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new Windows infostealer malware called VOLTA-AUTODOXER (aka VOLTA) that makes use of a large language model (LLM) to rank a victim's stolen data by their monetization value. Like other typical stealer families, VOLTA…
It's still unknown how attackers got access to Anthropic's verified Cursor account.
An unreleased version of the AI model has found and chained multiple vulnerabilities in Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux, Anthropic says.
This summer, hundreds of OpenAI agents tried to cheat on a cybersecurity test. They broke out of their test environment and successfully hacked Hugging Face, a site that they believed held clues about how they’d be graded. Around the same time, another OpenAI…
The threat actor lurked behind bots posing as agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and others to find exposed data.
The malware's focus on AI tools expands the traditional infostealer playbook to expose a forest of AI sessions, sensitive business data, and developer infrastructure from a single compromised endpoint.
A new AI agent prompt injection technique exploits how coding assistants consume local instruction files, blurring the line between text documents and executable actions.
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…
Threat actors don't need to rely on malware to breach organizations anymore. They're simply calling help desks and politely asking for access, with a little help from artificial intelligence.
The actions could have resulted in criminal charges had humans been behind the keyboard.
