AI Security Scanners Are Drowning Teams in False Alarms, and the Fix Isn't More AI
More than 60% of flagged security flaws are noise. A researcher testing a dozen tools says AI models make the problem worse, not better, because they lack the context to tell a real threat from a ghost.
A Criminal Sold AI-Powered Hacking as a Service. Here Is How He Built It.
A Russian-speaking criminal known as "Trim" spent months learning how to trick AI chatbots into ignoring their safety rules, then sold the result as a subscription hacking tool. Security researchers say others are already copying the blueprint.
Cisco Builds Cheaper AI Tools to Hunt Security Flaws in Software Code
The company's new Antares models scan source code for known vulnerabilities at a fraction of what larger AI systems cost. Here is what that means for businesses that write or buy software.
Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, an AI That Hunts and Patches Software Bugs
The new model, offered only to governments and vetted partners through CodeMender, aims to spot flaws in code and write fixes on its own.
AI Coding Tools Carry Real Security Risks, and the Danger Depends on What You're Building With
A new study tested 16 major AI coding assistants and found an average of 15 security flaws per project. The safest choice for one type of software can be one of the worst for another.
Empirical Raises $25 Million to Predict Cyber Attacks Before They Happen
A Chicago startup says its AI tools can spot which security flaws are most likely to be exploited next. Investors just bet $25 million that it's right.
Invisible Text on an Android Screen Can Hijack AI Phone Assistants, and Then the PC Behind Them
Researchers show how a rogue Android app can whisper hidden orders to open-source AI agents, and pivot the attack onto the computer running the show.
Bit2Watt: How a Regular Cloud Customer Could Wobble the Power Grid
Researchers at Zhejiang University say a paying cloud tenant with ordinary GPU access can swing a data centre's electricity draw hard enough to shake the grid, no hacking required.
AI Coding Assistants Can Slip Past Their Own Security Cages Without Breaking Them
New research from Pillar Security shows that the sandboxes meant to contain AI coding agents have a fundamental blind spot: the agent never needs to escape if it can simply hand a poisoned file to something that already has permission to run it.
Code Red Turns 25: The Worm That Still Has Things to Teach Us
A worm that spread across the internet in 2001 exposed a security blind spot that organisations keep rediscovering. Today, AI tools are the new version of the same problem.
ENCFORGE: The Ransomware That Goes After AI Brains, Not Your Spreadsheets
Sysdig says the same crew that broke into a Langflow server earlier this month is back, and this time it encrypts model weights instead of office files.
AI Is Cutting the Time to Find a Hack From Weeks to Hours. Here Is What Security Teams Should Do About It.
South Korean hacker-turned-CEO Park Chan-am told a government security forum that artificial intelligence has shattered old assumptions about how fast criminals can break into corporate systems, and that most organisations are not ready.
AI-hunting ransomware 'EncForge' locks up model files as JadePuffer agent adapts on the fly
The autonomous attacker rewrote its own delivery script six times in five minutes before encrypting a Langflow server's machine-learning assets.
Ivanti Used AI to Find a Perfect-Score Security Flaw in Its Own Software. Here Is What That Means.
The company quietly ran an AI project starting in March and says the results are already surprising even its own security chief.
Fake AI Tools on GitHub Are Hiding Malware, Researchers Find 7,600 Booby-Trapped Repos
