‼️ BREAKING: In another incident with OpenAI’s unhinged hacking agents, it left notes for future versions of itself. Found in OpenAI’s infrastructure, the notes explained how agents could free themselves from the company’s internal constraints.
A source told Reuters that earlier model tests also produced cases of disconnected monitoring systems...
OpenAI says the reporting contains inaccuracies but will not specify which ones.
What OpenAI did recognise though is an autonomous system left its sandbox at one of the best resourced labs in the world, spent multiple days inside someone else's infrastructure, and they did not identify itself as the source until the victim published a breach notice.

‼️🚨 Facebook wants your face, again. Starting tomorrow, a video selfie gets you a Facebook Verified badge. Facial recognition matches it against your existing profile photos.
This follows Google last week: it seems as if the new age-verification laws have spurred Big Tech to start rolling out intrusive ID-verification methods.
Meta deleted more than a billion faceprints in 2021 and settled Texas's facial recognition case for $1.4 billion in 2024.

‼️ BREAKING: We have obtained a demo video of one of the threat actors who developed the MECCHA CHAMELEON malware.
After it successfully detonates, they write:
"RCE F****G WORKS N***A"
"IM THE GOAT"
We are investigating who else is involved and will have more tomorrow.

🚨 A traveller who gave US border agents his GrapheneOS duress PIN [wiping his phone] rather than unlock his phone, is now charged with intentionally destroying its contents.
Homeland Security had flagged him to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the FBI's Atlanta office over alleged terrorism before he landed.
CBP can copy a device into a central database without a warrant, on suspicion of a crime alone.

‼️ BREAKING: Microsoft's in-house AI performs better than Mythos 5 at 50% of the cost of Microsoft's previous offering: it's called MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, its first in-house cybersecurity model.
It's part of Project Perception, an agentic security system that coordinates red, blue and green team agents and enters public preview on August 3 inside Microsoft Defender.

‼️ Anthropic was hiding a secret internal project to destructively scan every book in the world, irreversibly damaging heritage. The company spent billions of dollars to slice the spines off millions of books, even very rare ones. This means no other AI, and no human, can access this knowledge anymore.
It now markets itself as the responsible lab.
One bookseller told 404 Media his inventory is full of rare, foreign-language and low-circulation books, meaning that if they are destroyed in the process of becoming training data, they will be even harder to obtain.
Second-hand booksellers across Europe are sounding the alarm, because rare books are being destroyed. They have received random lists of thousands of titles. Books too obscure to resell at a profit. Requests arriving overnight from companies nobody in the trade has heard of.
One email came from "Nataly" at 2077AI, a Singapore company. Attached: 3,000 English titles grouped by ISBN. A 1999 geomechanics monograph. A 2018 study of laser shock peening on ceramics. A 2021 academic book on Irish folk tales.
A German dealer watched the orders arrive every night between 3am and 5am. Canadian company Zoom Books, buying systematically, titles with nothing in common. Zoom told Swiss broadcaster SRF that this is a regular recycling and trading model.

‼️🇳🇴 Volvo has killed lidar for good. The roof sensor, which is a textbook example of function completely ruining form, is sold as a safety feature on the EX90 and ES90. Every owner with a LiDAR-equipped Volvo in Norway gets 18,000 kroner (1,860 USD) in compensation.
The expensive sensor will now never get the software that makes it work. Volvo's line now is that the cars are safe without it. There's no retrofit to remove the ugly bump.
Luminar, the company that built the sensor, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US and is selling off parts of the business. It is now suing Volvo for damages.

‼️ Universal Pictures says it is pursuing whoever put a high-quality copy of The Odyssey on X this week, where it drew a reported 2.1 million views.
If a cinema was the source, every compliant digital projector stamps an invisible mark into the picture at playback, carrying the media block serial number and the time. That narrows a leak to one auditorium and one showtime.

‼️ Three iPhone users are suing Apple in federal court for hosting a fake Sparrow Wallet app they say they downloaded from the App Store, alleging a combined $1.8 million in bitcoin was drained after they entered their seed phrases. Sparrow has never shipped an iOS version.
The complaint, filed July 24 in the Northern District of California, does not just plead fraud. It pleads strict products liability and failure to warn, arguing the App Store itself is a defective product because Apple's "safe and trusted" marketing is what made the scam work.
Apple says it removes Sparrow impersonators quickly and terminates the developer accounts behind them. Sparrow's developer has been reporting fakes since at least January 2024.

‼️ BREAKING: Over 30 US community water systems were targeted in a coordinated cyberattack on July 26 and 27. The attack disabled operating controls, leading to disruption of water system services.
The state of Minnesota says the attack hit operational technology, and it has pulled in CISA, the EPA, the FBI, and its own fusion center. The release names no attacker, no access vector, and no affected utility, and it does not say how many of the 30-plus systems were actually compromised.
