Apart from the privacy concerns around smart glasses, researchers have found that some cheap brands come with barely any security at all. ABC Australia reports that researchers from NSB Cyber and Abstract Shield tested two inexpensive pairs, costing A$60 and A$110 (around US$42 and US$78), and found more than a dozen flaws across the smart glasses themselves, their app, and an associated website. The main problem they uncovered was insecure Bluetooth pairing: If the glasses were powered on and…

Mac security researcher Patrick Wardle says it’s trivial to turn Muse into “the ultimate backdoor.” Increasingly, AI assistants are changing from tools that simply answer questions into agents that can plan tasks, use connected services, and take actions for us. These actions might include booking appointments, filling out forms, creating documents, making purchases, or interacting with email and calendars. To do that, they need more permissions, account connections, and sensitive data. So,…

CLOSEDQUORUM, a malware binary discovered through Cisco Talos’ CAIRN project, exhibits fully autonomous command and control (C2). While we do not have confirmation of in-the-wild deployment, artifacts from the binary were used to connect the developer to postings on criminal forums related to carding, dating back to 2025. This malware is a useful reference example of how attackers can collapse the decision space of a particular attack phase into a constrained set of choices, allowing AI models…

A cairn is a marker left behind on a trail, a deliberately placed stack of stones that helps hikers find their way when the path is unclear. Attackers building AI-integrated malware unintentionally (and inevitably) leave behind markers of their own: prompt templates, provider endpoints, API keys, jailbreak terms, and other artifacts embedded throughout their tooling. When we consider these strings as cognitive artifacts, or vestiges left behind from AI integration, we can enable a new, metadata…

OpenAI paid the researchers for reporting a flaw in its systems through its bug bounty program. Researchers at cybersecurity tools vendor Hacktron wrote up their adventures in mid…

Researchers at Zimperium’s zLabs have analyzed an Android Trojan that uses an automated, multi-stage infection process. What’s new is that RatHat gives a live AI assistant the keys to the accessibility tree of the infected device and uses it to determine where to tap or scroll, rather than following a hardcoded script. The variable attack path makes it harder for signature- and rule-based mobile security tools to detect this Trojan. It also abuses Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a legitimate tool…

AI has already made fundamental changes to the operating environment for cybersecurity.

What has changed is how quickly these weaknesses can combine into attack paths that cross…
