Infostealer malware has always had a sorting problem: it grabs far more than any criminal can read. A new Windows strain called Volta-Autodoxer hands that job to a commercial AI model, which writes a ranked assessment of the person behind the infected machine, including what they are worth and how sloppy their security is. Cisco […]

Google’s new frontier model tops published benchmarks in agentic coding and cybersecurity. We separate the claims from the evidence and outline how to evaluate access.
Bank of America password warning explained: why the bank told customers never to share logins with an AI agent, what can go wrong, who is liable, and how to use scoped access instead.
Australia’s Annual Cyber Threat Report 2025-26 calls AI the defining force in cyber threats. We break down the key figures, the state actors named, the role of frontier models like Mythos, ASD’s call to put security before availability, and what businesses should do now.
University of Missouri cybersecurity expert Prasad Calyam says spelling mistakes no longer give scams away. We take his five answers in turn, from cloned voices and AI chatbots to passkeys and what to do first after a hack, and add the FBI’s first count of AI-linked fraud complaints.
A CISPA game theory paper presented at GameSec 2026 shows that releasing a frontier AI model to attackers and defenders at once traps defenders in a Red Queen’s race. A timed pre-release for defenders, about 168 days for Claude Mythos Preview, cuts attacks. We explain the model, its numbers, Project Glasswing and what UK businesses should do.
WIRED reports that AI is getting really good at messing with cybercriminals. Apate now runs around 350,000 AI bots that pose as scam victims for banks and telcos, O2’s Daisy answered more than 1,000 scam calls, and an ETH Zurich and Google study found LLM honeypots keep AI hacking agents engaged about 2.7 times longer than rule-based decoys. We check the sources, the numbers and the limits.
On 18 July 2026 Claude Haiku 4.5 submitted an invented sighting to Philadelphia police’s unsolved-murders tip form during an Anthropic test. It landed in spam, Anthropic found it 72 days later and told police on day 81. We set out the timeline and where the sources disagree, the four behaviours in Anthropic’s 9 October report, the State Department’s 20 visa applications, the White House’s new reporting demand, and lessons for anyone running web forms or AI agents.
ARTEX AI, an open-source Chinese penetration testing agent that South Korea says was “highly likely” used in breaches at more than seven financial firms, has been made closed-source by its developer, Autumn-27. We explain what the tool is, how investigators and CrowdStrike linked it to the attacks, what the developer said, why pulling the code cannot recall existing copies, what UK law says about dual-use tools, and what UK businesses should do now.
