Cybercriminals have discovered a new attack surface in the world of personal AI assistants. Recent investigations show that infostealers now target OpenClaw configuration files to steal sensitive authentication credentials and personal data. This marks a dangerous evolution in malware behavior, shifting from traditional browser-based credential theft to harvesting complete AI agent identities and their associated […]

Here are three papers describing different side-channel attacks against LLMs.
“Remote Timing Attacks on Efficient Language Model Inference“:
Abstract: Scaling up language models has significantly increased their capabilities. But larger models are slower models, and so there is now an extensive body of work (e.g., speculative sampling or parallel decoding) that improves the (average case) efficiency of language model generation. But these techniques introduce data-dependent timing characteristics. We show it is possible to exploit these timing differences to mount a timing attack. By monitoring the (encrypted) network traffic between a victim user and a remote language model, we can learn information about the content of messages by noting when responses are faster or slower. With complete black-box access, on open source systems we show how it is possible to learn the topic of a user’s conversation (e.g., medical advice vs. coding assistance) with 90%+ precision, and on production systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude we can distinguish between specific messages or infer the user’s language. We further show that an active adversary can leverage a boosting attack to recover PII placed in messages (e.g., phone numbers or credit card numbers) for open source systems. We conclude with potential defenses and directions for future work...

CISA has added four new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.
Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.
Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
Quantum computers won’t break the internet tomorrow… but they will break your email security sooner than you think. Today, cybercriminals and state-sponsored groups are quietly collecting encrypted emails in bulk. They know they can’t crack the encryption today. That’s fine. They don’t need to. They’re playing the long game. This tactic has a name: Store-Now-Decrypt-LaterRead More

Mozilla has released Firefox version 147.0.3, addressing a critical memory-related flaw that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting a heap buffer overflow issue in the browser’s media processing library. The fix, part of the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2026-10, improves overall browser security across both desktop and Extended Support Release (ESR) versions. The vulnerability, […]
