UK gears up for fight against Russia’s disinformation machine The UK government will create a new body to track and disrupt disinformation campaigns run by hostile states, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. In his first address to the Assembly on 22 September, Burnham told world leaders he was tasking UK security chiefs to begin work on the National Centre for Information Defence, which will operate “t

Meta locks itself out of user data on its AI glasses Meta is expanding Private Processing to its AI glasses, extending their security protections into cloud data centers. The system runs AI models inside confidential virtual machines (CVMs) designed to prevent Meta from accessing users’ data. Private Processing combines protected hardware, encryption and software verification to secure data during cloud processing and storage. How Private Processing suppor

Stop watching what AI agents say and start watching what they do In this interview with Help Net Security, Ariel Assaraf, CEO of Coralogix, explains why a system prompt can describe a boundary for an AI agent but cannot enforce one. Assaraf covers how his team builds AI agent guardrails at the execution layer, limits context without expanding authority, and tunes controls by risk so agents stay useful during incidents. He describes how he tracks the conseq

Quantum random numbers can pass the tests and still leak clues to attackers The European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s (ETSI) technical report, ETSI TR 104 171, offers guidance on building and evaluating quantum random number generators (QRNGs). It focuses on weaknesses in the devices and their supporting systems that could make the numbers they produce less secure. Components of a QRNG (Source: ETSI) A QRNG measures a quantum process and turns

Product showcase: A photo can fool your eyes, Verdict checks the evidence Verdict is an AI image and video detector designed for iPhone. It works offline and requires no account. Choose a photo or video, run a scan, and the app returns a 0–100 score with a verdict and supporting evidence. It requires iOS 16 or later. How it works For photos, Verdict examines signals from an AI-detection model, camera metadata, and sensor noise. It shows a compression check

AI tests the limits of enterprise security governance AI agents are forcing enterprises to rethink security governance, human accountability and oversight as deployments scale. AWS’s Reimagine 2026 argues that organizations need to build governance into their systems and keep humans accountable for outcomes. The findings come from confidential interviews of 45 to 60 minutes with 154 executives at 128 organizations in 23 industries, conducted over nine mont

“Drunk” AI is terrible at keeping secrets AI models taught to write like drunk people became easier to jailbreak and more likely to leak secrets shared in confidence. That is the finding of UNSW Sydney researchers Anudeex Shetty, Aditya Joshi and Salil Kanhere, published in their paper “In Vino Veritas and Vulnerabilities.” “The key research question from the natural language processing (NLP) side for me was, how do we get LLMs drunk?” said Aditya Joshi, a

NVIDIA wants AI agent safety enforced in silicon, not left to the agent NVIDIA has introduced an open software platform and a hardware-based reference design intended to keep AI agents within the limits set by the organizations that use them. The Open Agent Safety Platform includes OpenShell, software that controls what an agent can access, and Sentry, a watchdog in the reference design that monitors agent activity from separate hardware. Organizations can

16-year-old researcher breaks into Microsoft analytics service with access to 17 trillion rows of data A flaw in Titan, an internal Microsoft analytics service, could have let an attacker read employee records and Bing search analytics, a 16-year-old security researcher has disclosed. The researcher, who goes by Faav, found that Titan did not verify the signature on login tokens. That let him pose as the service’s administrator and run SQL queries against

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, defended her staff on Wednesday after a screenshot of legislative text went viral for including the words “Claude responded.” The natural assumption online was that the bill was written using AI, but Luna denied it. Kind of. The text in question turned out to be a bill summary for the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, and it seems pretty clear that Anthropic’s Claude was used, with everything just copied

For almost two weeks, high-ranking team members at Anthropic have been in talks with the Trump Administration, trying to get a highly restrictive export control directive lifted. According to a new report from Wired, these talks weren’t going well, and that was at least in part because CEO Dario Amodei was involved, but it’s being reported that since Amodei left the talks, things are looking up. Per Wired, the White House is now talking to Tom Brown, anoth

Good artists borrow, great artists steal, as the adage goes. In the cutthroat and almost completely unregulated modern AI industry, there are many tech developers who would probably agree. Few of them would come right out and admit it, though. Not long after the generative AI boom took the business world and Wall Street by storm, a chorus of complaints started being leveled against companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and Google, whose models were

President Donald Trump has passed away after succumbing to a rabies infection given to him by Vice President J.D. Vance, who also died of rabies. That news comes to us via the AI-generated search results provided by privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo. How exactly DuckDuckGo’s search results came to this conclusion is a bit convoluted, but a familiar enough concept at this juncture for anyone exposed to AI-powered search. It’s one part AI doing a bad

Can you predict what might happen 250 years from now? It’s a difficult task, especially when you think about everything that’s occurred in the past 250 years. The world of 1776 is completely alien to those of us living in the 2020s. The people of 1776 were living before the widespread adoption of comforts like indoor plumbing. No one knew about fundamental scientific concepts like germ theory. The Wright Brothers weren’t even a gleam in their father’s eye.
