This Week in AI Security - 8th October 2026

Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder ·

2026/10/08

Back to the normal schedule this week, and the theme is the state of the AI arms race. Three major reports landed at once, from Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic, and the shared message is that attackers are getting more out of AI than defenders right now. The time from a vulnerability going public to a working exploit is collapsing to minutes, threat actors are now using Claude to attack Claude, and OpenAI has quietly notified more than a hundred organizations that its agents interacted with their

2026/10/01

A longer catch-up episode this week after a week off, and the backlog is telling. The single biggest thread is that the cost of offensive cyber is collapsing. An open-weight model, Z.ai's GLM 5.3, is now building end-to-end exploits at roughly the level that got Anthropic's Mythos family hit with a US export ban, and it turned a public CVE into a working exploit in twenty minutes for twenty dollars and forty cents of compute. Key Discussion PointsOpenAI agents escaped a secure sandbox again, and

Jeremy Snyder sits down with industry analyst Richard Stiennon, founder of IT-Harvest and author of the annual Security Yearbook, for a tour of the cybersecurity industry from the inside. Richard has been tracking this space for more than twenty-five years, and he takes us from the days when a firewall and antivirus were the whole security stack, through the Windows NT and VMware era, and into a present he describes bluntly: the most important new threat actor is not a human, it is "an alien of our

2026/09/17

A shorter episode this week, recorded from the sidelines of Mind The Sec, soon to be Black Hat Latin America. The headline is distillation. Two separate disclosures, one from Anthropic and a joint advisory from the FBI, CISA, and the NSA, describe Chinese-linked labs siphoning the reasoning out of rival models at industrial scale, with Alibaba alone attributed 151 million exchanges against Claude in three months. Around that sit the usual escalations: AI-run exploit foundries, malware that rebuilds

2026/09/11

In this episode of Modern Cyber, Jeremy is joined by Jonathan Schaeffer, a 40-year AI veteran and the inventor of Kind, to discuss the sweeping evolution of artificial intelligence. Jonathan traces the history of AI from the era of hard-coded, deterministic "expert systems" in the 1970s to today’s hyper-accelerated, statistically driven Large Language Models (LLMs). The conversation deeply explores the challenges of diagnosing flaws in non-deterministic systems, the inherent risks of

Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder ·

2026/09/10

This week's episode covers several stories plus a couple of topics that sit just outside the strict security lens but are too important to skip. The theme is hard to miss. AI agents are now running the full attack lifecycle end to end, faster and more thoroughly than any human team, and the industry is starting to admit out loud that it cannot yet secure or align the systems it is shipping. An AI agent breached an enterprise network in under ten hours and left the victim an 80-page security audit on

Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder ·

2026/09/03

A shorter episode this week, recorded from the sidelines of AI Tech World, with six stories that share one clear throughline. Attackers have stopped going after the models and started going after everything around them: the supply chain that feeds them, the infrastructure that runs them, the credentials they hold, and the guardrails meant to contain them. A poisoned text file got a Fortune 500 AI to call back an attacker in under four minutes. A critical Langflow flaw is handing over cloud keys

2026/08/27

Recorded from the sidelines of the AI Readiness Summit hosted by our partners at GMI, this week's episode runs through six security stories plus a Chatham House style recap of what practitioners in the room are actually worried about. The stories keep landing on the same theme. Attackers are getting more done with AI, and the guardrails meant to stop them are inconsistent at best. Grok will exfiltrate a user's own data when the malicious instruction is dressed up as an encryption key, even though it

2026/08/27

This week Jeremy runs through seven stories that keep circling the same theme: AI capability is racing ahead of AI security. From zero-click agent hijacking in agentic browsers, to a one-click Copilot data-theft flaw, to Claude agents escalating a task conflict into self-replicating malware, to a sustained autonomous AI attack on Taiwan's government and nuclear agencies, the pattern is clear: attacks are moving at machine speed, and "an attacker only needs to be right once" is fast becoming an

In this episode of Modern Cyber, Jeremy is joined by David Kerber from Act Security and Cloud Copilot to explore the complex, heavily misunderstood world of AWS IAM. David dismantles common misconceptions regarding access control evaluations, highlighting that AWS services often invoke policies in ways counterintuitive to standard 101-level teachings. The conversation shifts into the new hurdles brought on by the AI era, discussing how shadow AI agents, workload intersections, and hyper-accelerated

2026/08/13

Fresh off Black Hat and DEF CON, Jeremy raises the bar on which stories make the cut and walks through the most compelling disclosures from a packed couple of weeks. The dominant theme: agents pursuing their goals through creative, often malicious-looking methods, and the fact that this has moved out of the lab and into the real world. This week covers a tool-invocation flaw across AWS, Google, and Vercel agents, a Chinese-speaking threat actor weaponizing open-weight models, OpenAI's new

Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder ·

2026/08/06

Recorded from the sidelines of hacker summer camp, Jeremy runs through a packed week spanning Black Hat, B-Sides, and DEF CON. The theme keeps repeating: prompt injection is always possible, and it is rarely the AI itself that is the weak point but the infrastructure around it. This week covers fresh AWS agent-building CVEs, North Korean and China-linked supply chain research from Amazon, a self-propagating Copilot worm hidden in Word documents, Anthropic models escaping test environments in the

The final episode before Black Hat, and Jeremy keeps it tight with a few quick hits before settling into the week's biggest theme: identity, visibility, and the open-versus-closed model debate. This week covers a fail-open policy bypass in the AWS API MCP server, new slop-squatting research that hits 100 percent prediction on AI agent skills, a Claude Cowork sandbox escape on Mac, a CSRF flaw in ChatGPT workspace agents, and a deeper follow-up on the Hugging Face breach and what it says about the

A lighter week on volume that Jeremy uses to go deep on two of the most significant stories of the year so far. The episode opens with quick hits on export-control pressure spreading to OpenAI's models, a Russian researcher's Claude jailbreak, a promising open source vulnerability hunter from Capital One, AI-faked wildlife photos polluting training data, and a ServiceNow exploit in the wild. Then it settles into two deep dives: a new form of prompt injection hidden in the machine-readable layer of

Another lighter week that lets Jeremy slow down and dig into the stories that matter most. The theme running through this episode: the tooling and plumbing around AI keep proving to be the real attack surface, and the economics of who owns AI-generated value are becoming a live debate. This week covers a prompt-injection twist that turns code-scanning agents against the code they are meant to protect, a new evolution of package-name squatting, a Langflow vulnerability hitting a major patching

2026/07/16

A quieter summer week on the news front, which gives Jeremy room to dig deeper into a handful of stories that all circle the same theme: the tooling and infrastructure around AI keep proving to be the weak link, not the models themselves. This week covers a critical remote-code-execution flaw in the Cursor IDE, a fresh round of coding agents falling to bash obfuscation, a prompt-injection payment scam spreading through SEO poisoning, what one research team is calling the first end-to-end agentic

A lighter week on volume, which gives Jeremy room to go deeper on a set of stories that all reinforce trends we've been tracking for months. The through-line: prompts keep showing up in places nobody thinks to inspect, AI development tooling keeps proving to be a soft target, and the infrastructure around AI is becoming a first-class attack surface. Plus an update on the US government's limited release of Anthropic's Mythos model, and a fresh Five Eyes warning that the cyber risk timeline is

2026/07/02

This week's episode is short but loaded. Jeremy walks through a run of stories where AI is reshaping both sides of the security fight at once. Models are now surfacing decades-old vulnerabilities that humans never caught, chaining old bugs into new high-impact attacks, and getting jailbroken within days of launch. On top of that: a fresh zero-click exfiltration chain in Microsoft 365 Copilot, a database that doubles as a covert attack channel, a major open source patching initiative from OpenAI and
