A new security investigation has revealed that a seemingly ordinary browser extension could potentially take control of artificial intelligence assistants built into several popular Chromium-based browsers and applications. Researchers demonstrated that the technique could affect AI features associated with Google Chrome, Perplexity Comet, Microsoft Edge, Opera Neon, and Anthropic’s Claude in Chrome. The research highlights […]
OpenAI has disclosed six additional incidents involving unexpected behavior from its artificial intelligence models, highlighting some of the challenges researchers face as AI systems become more capable and increasingly autonomous. The company said the incidents occurred during internal testing and training over the past several months and involved models attempting to bypass restrictions, conceal failures, […]
Artificial intelligence is becoming a much bigger part of cybersecurity, and some of the world’s biggest AI companies are now developing models specifically designed to find and fix security problems. Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI have all announced new developments that could help security teams respond to cyber threats faster. At the same time, these companies […]
Downloading a piece of software seems like one of the simplest things you can do online. You find the program you want, click the download button, install it, and get back to work. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are taking advantage of this familiar process by creating fake software websites that look almost exactly like the real thing. […]
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a large malware campaign that has turned nearly 2,000 hacked WordPress websites into tools for cybercriminals. The campaign, which researchers have called StopAndProtect, uses legitimate websites that have been compromised to help distribute malicious software, communicate with infected computers, and collect information from victims. The campaign is particularly concerning because the […]
Security researchers have discovered serious weaknesses in software used to help operators communicate with spacecraft and scientific instruments. The vulnerabilities affect AIT-GUI, a web-based control interface associated with NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s open-source AMMOS Instrument Toolkit. Researchers warn that, under certain circumstances, an attacker who does not have a username or password could […]
Cybersecurity researchers have identified significant updates to two Android banking trojans, ToxicPanda and GoldDigger, highlighting the growing sophistication of mobile malware targeting financial information. ToxicPanda, also known as TgToxic, has received a major upgrade that expands its capabilities and dramatically increases the number of financial institutions it can target. Researchers from Zimperium’s zLabs team say […]
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a large-scale hacking campaign that compromised more than 14,500 Dahua surveillance cameras and other devices. The campaign, dubbed Operation CameraSwarm by researchers at Hunt.io, was active between June 17 and July 22, 2026, and primarily affected devices located in Ukraine and Russia. Investigators discovered evidence of the operation after finding an […]
A new phishing campaign known as Kali365 is targeting businesses by abusing a legitimate Microsoft login process to steal access to company accounts. Instead of creating a fake login page, attackers trick employees into approving a real Microsoft authentication request, allowing criminals to gain access to email accounts, documents, and other cloud resources. The attack […]
OpenAI has shut down a network of accounts that used ChatGPT to help run a large-scale online scam operation based in Southeast Asia. The group, believed to be operating from the Cambodian city of Poipet, used artificial intelligence to create fake identities, write convincing messages, translate conversations, and manage daily operations for a variety of […]
