AI broke the patch. This $60m startup is betting on not patching.

A new Israeli security startup has emerged from stealth with $60m. It arrives with an argument the industry has resisted for decades. You cannot patch your way to safety any more, so stop trying. Act Security launched on Tuesday, Calcalist reported. It was founded in 2025 by the team that sold Medigate to Claroty for […]

The EU is banning nudify apps. The tools sit upstream on Hugging Face.

Europe is close to banning apps that digitally undress people. A new report argues the ban will miss the point. The tools that do the undressing do not need to be apps at all. They are sitting on Hugging Face. The European nonprofit AI Forensics tested the most popular image-editing tools on the platform. Seven […]

AI writes half our code now. It still fails security tests 44% of the time.

AI can now write compilable code almost every time it tries. It still ships a security hole in nearly half of it, and that has not changed in a year. That is the headline finding of Veracode’s 2026 GenAI Code Security Report, which tested more than 100 models across four snapshots. The average security pass […]

Claude found mathematical flaws in two cryptographic algorithms that years of expert review missed

Anthropic announced on Monday that Claude Mythos Preview has discovered mathematical weaknesses in two cryptographic algorithms. The first substantially weakens HAWK, a post-quantum digital signature scheme under review by NIST, by cutting its effective key strength in half. The second improves the best-known attack on seven-round AES, the most widely used symmetric cipher, by 200-800x. […]

Anthropic says your leaked Claude chats are working as intended

Type the right query into Google over the weekend and you could read strangers’ conversations with Claude. Some held medical records. Some held company files and children’s phone numbers. The chats were not hacked or leaked in any technical sense. Users had shared them through a Claude feature built for that. Search engines then indexed […]

A new AI listens to every prison call and decides who is speaking

A Texas company has begun selling corrections agencies an artificial intelligence system that listens to prison phone calls. It works out who is speaking, whether or not the speaker wants that. LEO Technologies, based in Austin, announced Verus Voice AI on Monday. The product uses voice biometrics to catch prisoners who call on someone else’s […]

Mate Security Crosses $50M in Funding as AI Security Operations Startup Heads to Black Hat USA

Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity at a pace that many security operations centers were never designed to handle. While organizations are embracing AI to improve efficiency, attackers are also using the technology to increase the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyberattacks. The result is growing pressure on enterprises to rethink the foundations of security operations […]

Microsoft built an agentic security system with red, blue, and green team AI agents. It enters public preview August 3.

Microsoft announced Project Perception on Monday, an agentic security system that coordinates three classes of AI agents in a continuous loop: red team agents that find vulnerabilities before attackers do, blue team agents that investigate and assess which risks are meaningful, and green team agents that fix defences across the environment. The system enters public […]

No AI model is fully resistant to bioweapon queries, Cisco found. Attack success rates hit 88%.

Cisco researchers bypassed safety guardrails on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini within five conversational turns, eliciting information about biological weapons by gradually steering conversations around the models’ restrictions, the Wall Street Journal reported. Amy Chang, Cisco’s head of AI threat and security research, said no model can be completely protected from a sufficiently persistent user. The […]
