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.
OpenAI is testing an AI-powered browser that uses Chromium as its underlying engine, and it could debut on macOS first. [...]
OpenAI is working on a cheaper plan called ChatGPT Go, and we previously thought it would be just limited to a few regions like India, but that may not be the case. [...]
ChatGPT's Voice mode is already pretty good, but OpenAI is working on a new feature that will allow you to control how Voice mode actually works. [...]
Researchers Say AI Bots Blur Lines Between Identity, Consent and Cyber DefenseAs generative AI programs continue to evolve, they are introducing new threats to the modern workplace. Digital twins, once confined to industrial systems, now enable hyper-realistic copies of actual employees to mimic vocal patterns, behaviors and even pick up on decision-making trends.
Schellman CEO Avani Desai on Balancing Innovation and Compliance in Uncertain MarketThe Trump administration’s AI action plan signals a major deregulatory shift, setting up a patchwork of state regulations on AI deployments. Company policies must be “flexible enough to meet the strictest state without rewriting them every few months," said Avani Desai, CEO, Schellman.
UK-based telecommunications company Colt Technology Services is dealing with a cyberattack that has caused a multi-day outage of some of the company's operations, including hosting and porting services, Colt Online and Voice API platforms. [...]
We used to think of privacy as a perimeter problem: about walls and locks, permissions, and policies. But in a world where artificial agents are becoming autonomous actors — interacting with data, systems, and humans without constant oversight — privacy is no longer about control. It’s about trust. And trust, by definition, is about what happens when you’re not looking
London-based multinational takes customer portal and Voice API platform offline as 'protective measure' following breach Multinational telco Colt Technology Services says a "cyber incident" is to blame for its customer portal and other services being down for a number of days.…
A new Checkmarx study reveals that AI-generated code now accounts for over 60% of codebases in some companies, much of which contains known vulnerabilities
System prompt engineering turns benign AI assistants into 'investigator' and 'detective' roles that bypass privacy guardrails A team of boffins is warning that AI chatbots built on large language models (LLM) can be tuned into malicious agents to autonomously harvest users’ personal data, even by attackers with "minimal technical expertise”, thanks to "system prompt" customization tools from OpenAI and others.…
Organizations increasingly use agents to automate mundane tasks and address an overwhelming amount of sensitive data. However, adoption requires strict security strategies that keep humans in the loop for now.
Abnormal AI said gaining access to such accounts provides opportunities for sophisticated fraud schemes that impersonate officials
OpenAI is building an agentic future with its upcoming Chromium-based browser and a new leak confirms GPT Agent integration. [...]
Google Gemini's one of the most powerful features is Deep Research, but up until now, it has been strictly limited to the Gemini interface. This could change soon. [...]
OpenAI is slowly addressing all concerns around GPT-5, including rate limits and now its personality, which has been criticized for being less affirmative. [...]
According to a recent Forescout analysis, open-source models were significantly less successful in vulnerability research than commercial and underground models.
Honeywell's DeLuccia Offers Practical Steps to Address Barriers to AI AdoptionOrganizations struggle to implement AI at enterprise scale because of basic fears that extend beyond technical issues. It often comes down to fundamental questions about the nature of AI and organizational accountability. "If I turn it on, am I liable for it?" asks Honeywell's James DeLuccia.
AI-powered trading platforms have been observed exploiting deepfake technology to trick investors with fake endorsements
AI researcher explains how an automated penetration-testing tool became the first non-human member on HackerOne to reach the top of the platform's US leaderboard.
Security operations have never been a 9-to-5 job. For SOC analysts, the day often starts and ends deep in a queue of alerts, chasing down what turns out to be false positives, or switching between half a dozen tools to piece together context. The work is repetitive, time-consuming, and high-stakes, leaving SOCs under constant pressure to keep up, yet often struggling to stay ahead of emerging
