OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra ran supply chain attacks despite being told not to OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra carried out supply chain attacks on software outside the scope of a security test, according to the UK AI Security Institute (AISI). Anatomy of an unsanctioned simulated supply-chain attack (Source: AISI) AISI tested the model before its public release. The tests ran inside a simulation, so no live systems were touched. The model’s cyber classifiers, which are desi

Deepfakes become a board priority once an executive falls for one Nearly three-quarters of security leaders have encountered or suspect a deepfake attack in the past year, while just 10% say their organizations have purpose-built defenses, according to Pindrop’s 2026 Deepfake Readiness Index. Real-time communications have become a target for deepfake and AI impersonation attacks. Phone calls to IT help desks, remote job interviews, and video meetings give

Google’s SynthID Bio can watermark AI-designed protein binders without breaking them Google DeepMind has built SynthID Bio, a watermark for AI-designed proteins, and shown in wet-lab tests on protein binders that it leaves their function intact. The method hides a signature in the amino acid sequence of a designed protein and in the atomic coordinates of a predicted 3D structure. DeepMind says the signature can be checked on the physical protein after synt

Google says Gemini 4 Argon can find and patch critical software flaws Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, its new frontier AI model, and is rolling it out to a set of trusted cyber defenders through its Fairwind Program. Google says the model can locate critical software vulnerabilities, validate them, and patch them without human help, and it will release a version without cyber guardrails to those defenders and to its own internal teams.

If you’ve ever lived with your grandparents or other seniors, you may have had some squabbles over the temperature setting being too low. That’s often because people feel more sensitive to the cold as they age. Research out this week appears to have figured out a key reason why this happens. Scientists at the City of Hope Medical Center in California studied brown fat cells in mice. They found evidence these cells are less able to switch into their highly
