AI worm prototype shows attackers don’t need Mythos to take over your network
Researchers from the University of Toronto developed a computer worm prototype powered by an AI agent that successfully self-replicated to different systems within a simulated computer network. The worm used a free large language model (LLM) running on local hardware and exploited a combination of older and new vulnerabilities, as well as misconfigurations that remain…

Trump’s new AI order — hallucinations aren’t just for LLMs
Years ago, right-wingers coined the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) to describe people who hate US President Donald J. Trump. (I think it better describes the president’s outlandish, truth-challenged statements and the followers who think he can do no wrong.) What’s really deranged is his recent AI executive order. First, a little history. As you…

The architecture of subtraction: Why it’s time to erase the roads, not just map the traffic
The advent of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and autonomous exploit development has brought about a new age in cybersecurity—one in which we can no longer rely on patching as a primary defense mechanism. Patching is, by definition, a reactive approach to security. It cannot occur until after a vulnerability is discovered and a vendor fix is…

Meet Hades: The malware that lies to AI security agents
Threat actors are continuing their onslaught against software supply chains, now with malware named after death itself. The newly-discovered Hades Campaign is a “highly sophisticated” supply chain compromise that targets Python developer environments and runs as soon as infected packages are imported. It uses the popular Bun toolkit to silently execute multi-layer payloads that can…

Malware ships with bugs that defenders could use against it
Static analysis tools have spent years scanning legitimate software for security bugs before it goes out the door. The same scanners work on malware, and malware carries a steady supply of its own bugs. Researchers ran four of these tools across 658 leaked malware projects and found that close to 90 percent contained at least…

The security questions around Chinese AI coding models in U.S. software
Software developers across the United States are using AI models built in China to write, debug, and review code, drawn by prices below those of American alternatives. These models carry risks for the security of American software, according to a report from Booz Allen Hamilton, which tested how the models respond when the user appears…

OpenAI’s Lockdown Mode is trying to solve the problem that it created
OpenAI’s move to implement a Lockdown Mode that tries to limit data exfiltration by shutting down external capabilities is being seen as making the best out of a bad situation. But Lockdown Mode doesn’t block exfiltration as much as it slightly reduces it, and the reality of enterprises using multiple AI vendors for their agentic…
