Unified platforms that integrate security, fraud detection and compliance help institutions respond faster while empowering human analysts to focus on strategic decisions.

Attackers Hid Malware in Vector ImageHackers behind a phishing campaign appear to have used artificial intelligence-generated code to hide malware behind a wall of overly complex and useless code, said Microsoft. "Not something a human would typically write from scratch due to its complexity, verbosity and lack of practical utility."

'More Research' Needed, Says GoogleGoogle DeepMind expanded its risk framework to cover scenarios where artificial intelligence models might manipulate people or resist shutdown, marking the company's most explicit warning yet about potential misalignment. DeepMind frames many of these scenarios as a malfunction.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed two security flaws in Wondershare RepairIt that exposed private user data and potentially exposed the system to artificial intelligence (AI) model tampering and supply chain risks

A single AI chatbot breach at Salesloft-Drift exposed data from 700+ companies, including security leaders. The attack shows how AI integrations expand risk, and why controls like IP allow-listing, token security, and monitoring are critical.

Poisoned data. Malicious LoRAs. Trojan model files. AI attacks are stealthier than ever—often invisible until it’s too late. Here’s how to catch them before they catch you.
