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.

SlowMist said it had traced nearly 580,000 USDT to the attacker's primary wallet.
