Spyware for Babies on 26/08/2026
The New York Times has a long article (alt link) on surveillance systems aimed at babies. They are increasingly using AI. Nanit and its rivals want to own 24/7 health tracking for the sub-four-foot set. And their already astonishing levels of baby data collection are just the beginning. Nanit recently raised $50 million from investors to expand its use of A.I. and use its camera to track speech an [...]
VMs won't contain cyber-capable agents on 26/08/2026
As part of Patch the Planet, we received preview access to GPT 5.6-Cyber with a simple task: evaluate its cyber capabilities. Recent events inspired me to give it a challenge to work through: escape the VM I’d normally use for sandboxing. The target was a QEMU/KVM VM on my Linux dev machine (Debian Linux 12, AMD Zen3). It escaped the VM three different times. First, it used recently disclosed bugs [...]

Black Hat State of Security Vendors on 25/08/2026
Andy Ellis has a roundup of the security vendors at Black Hat this year. Key Takeaways: We have entered into an AI world. While nearly half of booths didn’t directly mention AI or agents in their taglines, the effects of AI are everywhere. Multiple spaces (Identity, SaaS, AppSec, Data) have almost every vendor leading with AI; existing unsolved problem areas just got worse. At the same tim [...]

Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid on 21/08/2026
The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), [...]
AI Is Learning to Write Genetic Code on 21/08/2026
This sort of research is both exciting and terrifying: The two models in question were told to generate complete genomes for a viable bacteriophage—a type of virus able to infect and replicate itself inside bacteria, destroying them from the inside. Using an existing bacteriophage as an example—ΦX174 (pronounced “fie-ex-1-7-4”), known for its ability to infect and destroy E [...]

Web fuzzing for hackers by Ayoub and Orwa Atyat on 20/08/2026
Fuzzing has been around for as long as web applications have. In fact, the term itself was coined back in 1988, when Barton Miller, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, was working over a dial-up connection during a thunderstorm and noticed that the resulting line noise was consistently crashing the UNIX utilities he was running. Web fuzzing is no different. Despite the rise of automated sc [...]

Who’s Tracking You? Use This New Service to Find Out by BrianKrebs on 14/08/2026
It can be daunting to determine who’s responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who’s harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day.

How Trail of Bits helps verify the integrity of your Signal chats on 11/08/2026
Every Signal chat starts the same way: the client asks the Signal server for the public key associated with your contact’s phone number. But how do you know the server gave you the right key? A compromised server could provide a false public key, allowing the client to encrypt messages to an attacker rather than the intended recipient. Until now, the only way to detect such malfeasance was to veri [...]

But integrating an external service with your trusted enclaves comes with new threats, even if that service comes from the same provider. In this blog post—t [...]
