Background for this topic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, or generating content. In security reporting, the term commonly includes machine-learning models used for detection and analysis, as well as generative AI applications that produce text, code, images, or other outputs.
AI can help analyze security telemetry, prioritize vulnerabilities, and support investigations, but its outputs can be wrong or manipulated. Important attack surfaces include prompt injection that steers an application into unintended actions, sensitive data being exposed through prompts or model outputs, and excessive permissions granted to AI systems that use external tools. Models can also be degraded by poisoned training data or evaded with carefully crafted inputs. Practitioners should protect training and operational data, limit model access and tool permissions, test for adversarial behavior, and require appropriate human validation before high-impact decisions.

A flaw in Anthropic's Claude for Chrome browser extension could allow a malicious extension to trigger predefined AI actions by simulating user clicks, potentially allowing it to abuse Claude's access to connected services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Salesforce. [...]
Traditional security workflows were built for environments that changed at human speed. Token Security explains why AI agents require a new approach: building on a live identity foundation while giving security teams the flexibility to create workflows tailored to their own environments. [...]
A Russian-speaking threat actor known as "bandcampro" used Google's open-source Gemini CLI AI tool as a hacking agent and to operate a small-scale botnet. [...]
Intruder built an AI-powered "vulnerability vending machine" that combines code slicing with LLMs to automatically discover complex software vulnerabilities. The company explains how the system found and exploited a previously unknown WordPress plugin zero-day, with additional discoveries already under responsible disclosure. [...]
OpenAI is temporarily relaxing GPT-5.6 Sol usage after demand for the company's most powerful model surged over the past 48 hours. [...]
Anthropic has just extended access to Claude Fable 5 for paid subscribers until July 19, giving you another week to keep using the most powerful model. [...]
A PNG hiding a prompt injection could steal your repo's secrets, researchers demonstrate. The technique, dubbed 'Ghostcommit,' slipped past AI code reviewers CodeRabbit and Bugbot, which never open image files at all, then convinced a coding agent to read a repo's .env and write every secret into the code as a list of numbers. [...]
AI agents are accelerating the growth of non-human identities, making it harder for organizations to understand what exists, who owns it, and what it can access. Netwrix explains why stronger visibility and identity governance are essential as AI expands the enterprise attack surface. [...]
Microsoft says Windows users should expect to see an increase in security updates as the company increasingly relies on artificial intelligence to discover vulnerabilities in its codebase. [...]
A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) operation called Forg365 focuses on stealing Microsoft 365 accounts by combining adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) and device code methods with AI-assisted lure generation. [...]
Security operations don't slow down when IT teams take vacation, but staffing levels often do. Kaseya explains how AI-driven automation can help organizations maintain consistent security operations and reduce reliance on manual processes year-round. [...]
Specops Software explains how AI is making service desk impersonation attacks more convincing, personalized, and scalable, along with practical steps organizations can take to strengthen onboarding and identity verification. [...]
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) gave federal agencies until Friday to patch an actively exploited vulnerability in the Langflow visual framework for building AI agents. [...]
Tomorrow's webinar explores how behavioral AI can help organizations detect sophisticated phishing, business email compromise, and account takeover attacks while reducing alert fatigue through automated investigation and response workflows. [...]
A phishing campaign is impersonating more than 30 well-known brands, including Adobe, Netflix, Coca-Cola, and OpenAI, in fake job interviews to steal Google account credentials from marketing professionals. [...]
Every evolution in software development has reduced the friction between an idea and a deployable application. AI may remove the final barrier, but it also removes many of the moments where security decisions have traditionally taken place. [...]
Researchers identified what they believe is the first documented case of a ransomware operation, JadePuffer, conducted entirely by a large language model (LLM) agent. [...]
Anthropic says Claude Fable 5 won't be accessible via Claude subscriptions after July 7, but it's not a permanent change, and the company expects the model to return outside the usage-based plan soon. [...]
Anthropic has confirmed that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude's two most powerful models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. [...]
Anthropic is now rolling out Sonnet 5, and it's almost as good as the Opus range, but it is designed to be cheaper than the company's flagship model. [...]
