Meta’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence for customer support came under scrutiny this week after hackers discovered a way to manipulate the company’s AI-powered support chatbot into granting unauthorized access to Instagram accounts. The security flaw, which has now been fixed, reportedly allowed attackers to take control of accounts without needing access to the account holder’s email address, raising broader concerns about the risks of allowing AI systems to hand

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing cybersecurity, and Google’s latest findings show that AI-powered hacking is no longer just a future concern. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group says criminal groups and state-linked actors are already using commercial AI models to make cyberattacks faster, more advanced, and easier to scale. The findings have raised concerns among governments, technology companies, and cybersecurity experts about how powerful AI systems could be use

Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance are warning organizations to be careful with agentic AI, especially when these systems are connected to sensitive data or critical systems. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence tools built on large language models that can plan steps, make decisions, use external tools, and carry out actions with limited human supervision. While these systems can help automate tasks and improve productivity, government cyber agencies

Anthropic’s new AI model, Mythos, is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched developments in technology because of what it could mean for cybersecurity, banking, and the wider global economy. Introduced earlier this month as the company’s most advanced model yet, Mythos was built for defensive cybersecurity tasks, but experts say its capabilities go well beyond normal threat detection. Anthropic has said the model uncovered thousands of major vulnerabilities across m

Vercel is investigating a major security incident that shows how a breach at one company can quickly ripple across the wider tech industry. The company said attackers gained unauthorized access to certain internal systems after compromising Context.ai , a third party AI tool used by one Vercel employee. That access reportedly allowed the attacker to take over the employee’s Vercel Google Workspace account through OAuth permissions and then move into some Vercel environments,

Anthropic has introduced one of the most unsettling developments in artificial intelligence this year with Claude Mythos Preview, a model the company says is too dangerous for public release. Instead of launching it broadly, Anthropic has decided to keep Mythos off the market because of its extraordinary cybersecurity capabilities. The company says the model is so effective at finding severe software vulnerabilities that it could become a powerful tool for cybercriminals, spi
