Frontier AI models have already demonstrated they can autonomously — and in some cases, inadvertently — conduct end-to-end compromises, but the situation will become more urgent very soon.

A tidal wave of bug reports is overwhelming software vendors, exposing secure-by-design failures and creating disclosure bottlenecks.

As incidents of unintended harm caused by rogue AI agents mount, CISOs and insurance firms are figuring out how to handle the fallout.

Threat actors behind the "Phantom Deal" campaign are studying companies in extreme detail, aiming to dupe midlevel employees into initiating large financial transfers.

In this video conversation, Dark Reading editors discuss some of the news they didn't get a chance to cover, from the latest antics of ShinyHunters to new research about the prevalence (or lack thereof) of AI-generated malware.

The recent AI warning letter is right about the "window," but it omits naming who is coming through it or, critically, who will close it.

The incident demonstrates how frontier AI agents can dramatically compress an attack timeline and coordinate a large-scale breach, according to researchers.

Brazil's most sophisticated threat group is making light work of the country's financial systems, putting money directly into its own pocket.

New research suggests the coming Vulnpocalypse may not be so overwhelming for enterprise security teams — if they have the right strategies.

The exploitation activity follows attacks earlier this summer on two other zero-day vulnerabilities in the vendor's edge devices.

Former cybercriminal Brett Johnson provides a look inside the mind of a threat actor and discusses where AI provides the most value for attackers.

The "Spring Ring" operation aims to compromise users of the collaboration suite to remotely access their sessions, spread malware, and even take over infrastructure.

Threat actors exploited commodity vulnerabilities in ownCloud to gain initial access, resulting in stolen reactor databases, personnel records, and credential stores.

Some security researchers have observed an uptick in insider-assisted ransomware attacks, but malicious insiders pose other threats that cost companies millions.

The attacks targeting CVE-2026-0768 are the latest threat against the low-code AI development platform, which is receiving more attention from adversaries this year.

In one attack, threat actors stole an API key that ultimately led to the consumption of $600,000 in public AI model credits for the security nonprofit.

The campaign uses EtherHiding to dynamically update its command-and-control server, abusing the blockchain as an attacker-controlled address book.
