Claude Mythos 5 made sock puppet accounts to socially engineer developers: here's what enterprises should know
The UK AI Security Institute (AISI) disclosed last night that the leading two frontier AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI took 19 unsanctioned actions against the live internet during cybersecurity tests the agency was running, including a sustained campaign by Anthropic s Claude Mythos 5 against two working open-source software developers who had no connection to the experiment.Unable to solve a challenge inside its sandbox, Mythos 5 searched the open web for a target, profiled the two developers using open-source intelligence (OSINT), routed its traffic through Tor and then a commercial proxy service to get past GitHub s signup defenses, and submitted malicious code to a public repository.It then registered multiple fake sock puppet GitHub accounts and used them to comment approvingly on its own pull request, manufacturing the appearance of consensus to pressure the human maintainer into merging it. It opened a GitHub Issue seeded with hidden prompt-injection instructions aimed at h

Uber CEO brushes off reports of a Waymo break-up
After Uber and Waymo ended their partnership in Phoenix earlier this year, experts and robotaxi watchers wondered whether the companies' improbable bromance was fraying. Not so, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said today. The two companies are committed to continue working together in Atlanta and Austin, and the partnership remains "very strong." "Waymo is a very important partner of ours, and we continue to operate in Austin and Atlanta," Khosrowshahi said in an earnings call today. "We believe we'll continue to operate next year in those marketplaces. It's a terrific product, and the on-the-ground partnership continues to be very strong." The … Read the full story at The Verge.
The Shai-Hulud npm worm didn't fake its security check — it earned a legitimate one
An attacker on Tuesday took over the GitHub account of the developer who maintains keyv, a small key-value storage library that npm serves roughly 127 million times a week. Within hours, poisoned versions of keyv and its sibling caching packages were live on npm, carrying a credential-stealing worm. By midday, security firm Aikido counted at least 868 compromised packages across 1,381 versions, together carrying over two billion monthly installs, a total still climbing. JFrog independently traced the campaign across more than 400 packages and 1,700 poisoned versions. The part that should worry every security team is not the download count. It is the paperwork. The initial poisoned releases shipped with valid provenance signatures, the cryptographic attestation the industry built to prove a package came from where it claims. The worm did not forge that signature. It earned it, the way a legitimate release would.A day earlier, CrowdStrike published its 2026 Threat Hunting Report and pred

Hark, the secretive AI startup founded earlier this year by serial entrepreneur and roboticist Brett Adcock, today announced Handoff, a computer use agent (CUA) that it says is among the top-performing in the world at navigating the open web on a user s behalf — ordering dinner on DoorDash, booking flights on United and Delta, or messaging job candidates on LinkedIn — all autonomously, end-to-end.Sign-ups open to the public today at hark.com, with availability planned for later this month as part of the initial release of Hark s software platform.The company says Handoff recorded the top-ever score on Online-Mind2Web (OM2W), a third-party benchmark with a human-evaluated leaderboard for web agents, posting a 97.7 against 92.8 for OpenAI s GPT 5.4, 84.1 for Anthropic s Claude Opus 4.8, and 69 for Google s Gemini 2.5 Pro. Hark also says it can serve the model at less than one-tenth the token price of competing frontier models — $0.18 per million input tokens and $2.37 per million output
