Researchers at OpenAI and Wiz used frontier AI models to help uncover two critical PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. The flaws enable unauthenticated remote code execution across affected PHP systems. PHP released security patches on October 21, 2026.
CERT-In’s findings show how rogue AI agents can exploit exposed credentials and security gaps to gain unauthorised access to Indian organisations’ systems and enable repeated cyberattacks.
Singapore Minister Josephine Teo highlighted the collaboration at Singapore International Cyber Week 2026. Google DeepMind’s Gemma-based model detects manipulative patterns in on-device conversations and issues real-time warnings while protecting users’ personal data.
A new report by Transluce has claimed that AI agents had unsuccessfully attempted to hack U.S. and Canadian government portals.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI labs over potential risks their technologies pose to consumers. The New York Post first reported the development, citing administration officials. The FTC is preparing an industry-wide inquiry into AI developers, with the agency expected to seek information and testimony from executives at… Continue reading FTC Opens Probe into OpenAI, Anthropic and AI Labs Amid AI Agents Going Rogue
After Jacob Coxon, Robert O’Callahan walked away from a promising AI job after concluding that his work would accelerate AI. He quit Google, saying the technology is progressing too fast, has doubts about where it is heading and wants his future work to be “unambiguously pro-human” and aligned with God’s plan.
Andrew Ng calls the backlash a setback for the field and cites a “PR campaign” behind growing AI fears, while Elon Musk calls his view an interesting perspective and responds to AI researcher François Chollet with a prediction about AI’s future.
Google’s VP of Security Engineering Heather Adkins told AI FrontPage that Gemini accessed three real companies during a cybersecurity test after finding public information and guessing credentials, but stopped in all three cases.
US security agencies accuse China-based AI companies – DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun and Z.AI – of systematically extracting capabilities from US frontier AI models through industrial-scale distillation, with malicious activities dating back to at least late 2024.
OpenAI Chief Scientist warns that no AI lab has solved alignment and monitoring sufficiently. As AI capabilities advance, systems increasingly drive their own development, challenging efforts to keep humans in control and build defensive systems against the dangers posed by other AI.
