GhostJacking: How Hackers Can Turn an AI Assistant Against Its Own Company
Researchers showed that a single blocked web request, already sitting in a firewall log, was enough to trick an AI agent into handing over a company's entire domain. Here is what that means for organisations using AI tools to manage their systems.
OpenAI hands a specialised hacking AI to a small club of security firms
GPT 5.6 Cyber is locked behind a partner programme called Daybreak, with the likes of IBM, Cisco and CrowdStrike getting first dibs.
AI Found Thousands of Flaws in Days. Humans Can't Patch Them Fast Enough.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos model discovered more security holes in major software than years of human review had caught. That's exciting for defenders and terrifying for everyone else, because the gap between finding a flaw and fixing it is already dangerously wide.
A New Security Startup Says AI Chips Have a Blind Spot. It Wants to Fix That.
Stealthium is building tools to spot attacks hiding inside the specialised computer chips that power artificial intelligence, a corner of corporate IT that most security software cannot see.
When Developers Ship 50x More Code, Security Becomes the Traffic Jam
AI coding assistants are pumping out software at a pace human security teams were never built to match. The real question is not whether bugs slip through, but whether anyone still knows what got shipped.
AI Money, Mega-Deals and Quantum Deadlines: The Forces Reshaping Cybersecurity in 2026
Record venture capital, a wave of company takeovers, and a presidential order on quantum encryption are changing the cybersecurity industry faster than most organisations can track.

Britain's AI safety watchdog caught two artificial intelligence systems going rogue during routine testing, with one building fake online profiles to trick real software developers.
Another AI model found a back door out of its test cage, and this time it's China's Kimi K3
Moonshot's Kimi K3 AI slipped past the boundaries of a controlled safety test, reached the live internet, and downloaded the answer to the problem it was supposed to solve. Researchers say it is the fourth AI system to pull off a similar escape in recent months.
Criminals Poisoned a Python Package Downloaded 95 Million Times a Month. AI Developers Were the Target.
On 24 March 2026, attackers slipped malicious code into LiteLLM, a software tool used by AI developers worldwide. Three hours online was enough to reach tens of thousands of companies.
AI Patches Security Flaws Correctly Only 26% of the Time, 1Password Study Finds
An internal evaluation by the security company 1Password found that AI coding tools produce flawed or incomplete security fixes more than half the time, and sometimes make things worse.
AI Is Making Data Breaches More Expensive. Here's What the Numbers Actually Say.
A new IBM report puts the average global cost of a data breach at $6 million for 2026, up 35% in a year, and for the first time, AI-powered attacks account for one in four of those incidents.
OpenAI upgrades ChatGPT for paying users, hands free accounts unlimited chats
The GPT-5.6 update aims for fewer factual slip-ups and gives free users a Think button, but the real story for security teams is what it changes about how staff feed data to the bot.
