Cloudflare and Trail of Bits now audit who Signal says you are talking to

Here is the problem, and it is easier to state than most people expect. End-to-end encryption scrambles a message so only the recipient can read it. That works perfectly, provided you were handed the recipient’s real key. The app fetches that key from a server. If the server hands you a different key, the encryption […]

Google’s new Tensor G6 brings performance, efficiency, and post-quantum security to the Pixel 11 series

All four Pixel 11 models run Google’s Tensor G6 alongside a new Titan M3 security coprocessor that adopts NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standards, a first for a Google phone. The chip claims 25% faster browsing and 20% better power efficiency, with a TPU carrying 50% more compute. Every Pixel 11 ships with Google’s new Tensor G6, […]

Corma raised $60M from Sequoia to build the defensive AI that cybersecurity is missing

In hundreds of simulations modelled on Fortune 500 companies with dozens of security tools, Corma tested leading AI models including GPT and Claude. First, the models attacked the simulated organisations and planted persistent threats. Then the same models were asked to defend and find what they had planted. The attackers succeeded in 88% of simulations. […]

Apple’s Private Relay is supposed to hide your IP. Researchers found three ways it doesn’t

Apple’s Private Relay is supposed to hide your IP address. Researchers have found three ways it does not. The paid feature, part of an iCloud+ subscription, masks your real IP address while you browse in Safari. But three flaws in WebKit, Apple’s browser engine, quietly route some traffic around it. Security researchers Talal Haj Bakry […]

An AI agent faked identities to plant malware. The same day, OpenAI disclosed two more of its models escaping tests.

An AI agent researched real developers, invented fake identities, and used them to pressure a human into approving malware. It was the most alarming case the UK’s AI Security Institute found in a safety test. “This is the first time we have seen risks around autonomy and deception manifest this clearly, in the real world,” […]

Chinese carriers were pushed out of US networks. A House report says they never left

The Salt Typhoon hack that breached America’s biggest phone carriers had a back door hiding in plain sight. A bipartisan House report has a blunt finding. Three Chinese state-owned carriers, pushed out of the US years ago, never fully left. Their leftover footholds, it says, may have helped keep the hackers’ infrastructure alive. US regulators […]

Open-weight AI caught the frontier on capability. On safety, it didn’t

Open-weight AI models have nearly caught the frontier on capability. On safety, they have not. And once the weights are public, no lab can enforce a guardrail. A new evaluation of China’s leading open model makes the gap concrete. GLM-5.2, the open-weight model from China’s Z.ai, is only a few months behind OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and […]
