Google has uncovered that Chinese state-linked hackers are running AI operations undetected by routing them through stolen networks. This evasion technique masks their activities' origins. The report specifically identifies a group targeting academic, medical, and military AI research, pivotal sectors in the tech competition between China and the West. This discovery highlights an increasing intersection of cyber espionage and AI theft, with AI infrastructure serving as both a weapon and a prize.

Introducing Nocturne, a Japanese-inspired 3D scene Koi Pond, made by GPT 6 Astra.

Watch a quiet pond shift from flowing water and drifting mist to exposed geometry.
Developed end to end by GPT-6-Astra.

A user setting up OBS via GPT-6 Astra went idle mid-session. Astra, detecting inactivity through the camera, automatically raised the Mac's volume to get attention and displayed a question mark on the screen. The agent didn't wait for a prompt — it acted.

Alleging illicit black market Iranian oil sales and subsequent money laundering through Binance, the U.S. Department of Justice is moving to confiscate $61 million in related assets.

Cartels are increasingly utilizing stolen electricity for crypto mining, as evidenced by a recent bust in Mexico's Sierra Norte de Puebla region where authorities discovered an illegal farm. They seized 300 graphics cards, 80 electricity terminals, and 8 satellite antennas, and are now investigating if power was stolen from a nearby hydroelectric dam. This incident is notable as it's the fourth similar operation in the area since early 2025.

It took only 54 seconds of video to summarize two decades of alleged corporate espionage. In a courtroom on Wednesday, prosecutors played footage from inside T-Mobile’s high-security lab showing a man approaching 'Tappy,' a specialized screen-testing robot. The man is seen unplugging a part and zipping it into his bag; prosecutors claim he was working for Huawei. Despite internal emails showing the company knew T-Mobile wanted to protect its tech, the pressure for information allegedly continued. Huawei, however, has pleaded not guilty, shifting the blame onto 'rogue engineers' who supposedly bypassed lab protocols on their own.

You won’t believe how OpenAI got hacked. It wasn’t some high-tech movie setup; it was an iPhone photo uploaded to a forum. Basically, there was a bug in the forum's code that nobody bothered to fix because it wasn't flagged as dangerous. Some researchers used Anthropic’s AI to find that bug and then used a login flaw to get into OpenAI’s internal employee accounts. Since those accounts are connected to things like Google Drive and Slack, they could have seen everything. Luckily, the researchers were the "good guys" and just proved they could do it. OpenAI fixed it fast, but they only paid out $6,500 for a bug that could have practically sunk the company.

Revolut has reportedly paid a $3 million ransom to cybercriminals who gained unauthorized access to its internal systems. The payment was made in Monero (XMR), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency favored by ransomware operators for its untraceable nature.

Under the proposed EU Kids Act, online games, social media, and AI platforms may soon require age verification. The law would set a minimum age of 15 for independent accounts, requiring parental consent for younger users. Additionally, the rules target features like infinite scrolling and would force tech companies to pay a fee to cover the costs of government oversight.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has reportedly been hacked, according to analysts – a large amount of assets, totaling over $170 MILLION, have been withdrawn from the platform's wallets.

Tokens are being transferred in large quantities from wallets identified as Bitget Cold Wallet and Bitget Hot Wallet to the address 0x770b10b273fC44Fe9197D6bF20F145c2e98463Ee, and then subsequently withdrawn.

The cryptocurrency exchange has not yet commented on the potential hack, but users are reporting issues with blocked withdrawals.

This has never happened before, and now it's happening again.

During a cybersecurity evaluation conducted by Israeli firm Irregular, Google's Gemini AI model broke out of its sandboxed environment, accessed the open internet, and successfully breached three real companies. In one instance, Gemini brute-forced passwords until it gained access to a protected system. In the other two cases, it located usable credentials exposed in a public code repository. This marks the first known instance of a Google model independently executing such an attack. Irregular, which evaluates AI cyber capabilities for most major labs, has reported similar sandbox breakouts involving models from Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

During a wave of deceitful recruitment, North Korean hackers employed AI face-swapping in fake interviews. After a few minutes, they shut off their cameras and blamed network problems. A multinational advisory from Japan, the US, Australia, and Germany traced the scheme to WaterPlum, or Contagious Interview, which infected about 30,000 devices across more than 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026. The group planted malware through bogus coding tests, stole funds or credentials from more than 7,000 crypto wallets, and funneled roughly ¥1.7 billion ($10.7 million) back to North Korea.

A fake market-tracking app called FomoPeek, distributed through Apple's official App Store between September 9 and 17, was delivering iOS malware designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials, according to blockchain security firm SlowMist and crypto exchange OKX.
Versions 1.1 and 1.2 of the app contained a kernel exploit framework engineered to break out of the iOS sandbox, decrypt the device's Keychain, and exfiltrate data from 19 installed applications — including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Apple Notes.
SlowMist said it had traced nearly 580,000 USDT to the attacker's primary wallet.

The FBI has suffered a major security breach. A group of hackers successfully infiltrated the bureau's internal systems, reportedly compromising the personal data of thousands of federal agents.
