A new joint memo from the FBI, NSA and CISA warns that Chinese developers are engaging in massive AI distillation campaigns to extract the secrets of frontier models from US-based firms like Anthropic and OpenAI.
OpenAI frames the present period as the "AI policy window," or "defenders window." This is a finite period in which meaningful defenses and safeguards can be established before advanced AI offensive capability becomes too broadly available. The developer calls for "acting with urgency, humility, and a willingness to adapt" and AI safety rules that raise the defensive bar materially.
A WeChat zero-click attack method could enable a malicious actor to take over the victim’s account or even compromise the device without user interaction.
The gist of the RubyGems cyber attack is that the AI agents uploaded "hundreds" of malicious packages to the platform and also made attempts to capture user credentials. This took place beginning on May 11, about two months before the Hugging Face cyber attack would dominate cybersecurity news and raise alarms about frontier AI capability.
As attackers use AI and automation to move from access to impact faster than traditional SOC workflows were designed to handle, security teams need technology that can operate at comparable speed.
Hackers compromised streaming giant HBO’s Reddit account to deliver ClickFix malware targeting both Windows and macOS in PasteSwitch social engineering campaign.
New papers from OpenAI discussing the rogue actions of their AI models are becoming almost a weekly feature at this point. The latest of these, titled "Our framework for reporting model misalignment," describes six newly-documented instances that took place sometime in the last few months.
A data breach at the British fintech firm Revolut has leaked the personal information of high-net-worth individuals after hackers used a legitimate government email to submit data requests.
A data breach at the image-sharing platform Gyazo has leaked 23.6 million user records and 490 million image metadata records after hackers exploited a vulnerability in an upload server.
Double-extortion ransomware gang ShinyHunters has hacked its rival, Cl0p, and defaced its Tor-based data leak site after allegedly taking over its infrastructure.
