Research on Models Engaging in Genie-Like Behavior
New paper: “ Self-Jailbreaking: Language Models Can Reason Themselves Out of Safety Alignment After Benign Reasoning Training .” Abstract: We discover a novel and surprising phenomenon of unintentional misalignment in reasoning language models (RLMs), which we call self-jailbreaking. Specifically, after benign reasoning training on math or code domains, RLMs will use multiple strategies to circumvent their own safety guardrails. One strategy is to introduce benign assumptions about users and scenarios to justify fulfilling harmful requests. For instance, an RLM reasons that harmful requests li…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieCERT
Inside a multi stage toll fraud operation targeting Poland
CERT Polska uncovered a toll fraud operation targeting Polish users through deceptive Meta advertisements and malicious applications distributed via Google Play. We preserved 1235 ads, linked 852 to 17 applications through code or infrastructure, reconstructed the complete execution chain, and observed live premium SMS and carrier billing tasking.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieSANS ISC

The Truth about GET and HTTP Standards, (Tue, Sep 22nd)
On Friday, Xavier talked about the newly introduced HTTP Query method. This new method was introduced to allow "GET" requests that include a body. The main reason for this was that GET requests typically do not contain a body. But what if they do?Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieCERT
MikroTrick: technical analysis, disclosure process, and the use of LLM agents
We describe the technical details of the MikroTrick chain, which combines the CVE-2026-67279 and CVE-2026-86060 vulnerabilities and, when chained, allowed full takeover of a device without authentication. We explain the mechanics of the attacks observed in the wild, the coordinated disclosure of both vulnerabilities, and the practical role of LLM agents in the RouterOS research.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieSANS ISC
LausivLoader analysis, or how to pass data between malware stages, (Thu, Sep 17th)
At the end of August, a malspam message was caught in the quarantine of a mail gateway operated by one of my customers. The message was not especially remarkable – it asked the recipient to review some attached requirements and provide a price quotation for a fiber optic system and appeared to impersonate an employee of a legitimate company.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieschneier
GPT-6 Astra Breaks an Old Enigma Message
This is pretty amazing: However, the most astonishing thing about this break is that the GPT6 Astra did it entirely on its own. Carter Leffer only directed GPT6 Astra to see if it could break any of the unbroken Enigma messages published on the Crypto Cellar Research web page. After analysing the unbroken messages on the website, it decided that the most promising message was Nr. 172, MVUEH and it also quickly suspected that the plaintext of Nr. 173, SIPVX, might be related to the plaintext of the unbroken MVUEH message. After trying many different approaches, GPT6 Astra focused on using th…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieTalos
The Closed Quorum: Inside the first reported autonomous AI C2 implant
CLOSEDQUORUM, a malware binary discovered through Cisco Talos’ CAIRN project, exhibits fully autonomous command and control (C2). It represents a shift in effort displacement for attackers, in which expanding portions of the attack chain can be executed without operator involvement.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieTalos

Reverse-Engineering Flock Cameras
Hackers captured a Flock camera and got a look (alternate link ) at the software: While much of the automatic license plate reader’s (ALPR) most sensitive storage remained encrypted and inaccessible, the joint analysis of the recovered data shows that software running on the device explicitly detects people as well as vehicles, license plates, and bicycles. The camera can produce dozens of images of a single passing vehicle and, according to several weeks of recovered logs, generated more than a million images. Its computer-vision software also sometimes isolated bumper stickers and other grap…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieproject zero
Windows Exploitation Techniques: Dangling COM Object Registrations
This short blog post is about abusing a privilege escalation bug that Microsoft recently fixed in Windows, CVE-2026-66804, that I and 14 others reported. This issue is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-50343, a bug dubbed “Dark Elevator” by Calif. The root cause of the bug was a dangling COM object registration for the CrossDevice COM object with the CLSID {E9F83CF2-E0C0-4CA7-AF01-E90C70BEF496}. A COM registration typically needs two parts: a server executable, which for in-process components is a DLL and a CLSID entry under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key which points to that DLL.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieschneier

Are AIs Still Struggling with CAPTCHAs?
Anthropic’s recent security-incident document contains a bit about how CAPTCHAs are still frustrating Claude. In the transcript, the Claude model that is so powerful that Anthropic is gatekeeping access to it appeared to slam its virtual head against the wall solving a simple image identification test. In a test where the agent was asked to identify a shape that didn’t match the others displayed, it couldn’t even decide which image to select. Instead, it repeatedly went over the same images and questioned its own conclusions. “Actually hmm, wait,” it said in its chain-of-thought transcript, la…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieTalos

How Candidates Could Use AI for Good
This essay was written with Nathan E. Sanders, and originally appeared in The Guardian . There are plenty of signs that AI will make all of our experiences of the US midterm elections worse. Voters have anxiety about AI’s impacts on the country. Politicos are using AI deepfakes to spread lies. The White House is posting slopaganda . Meanwhile, candidates are missing a real opportunity to use AI to make campaigning better. The technology can help candidates listen more deeply to voters’ concerns, engage constituents more inclusively, and formulate policy platforms that are more responsive to ou…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieTalos
Ransomware incidents in Japan in the first half of 2026: Investigation of The Gentlemen’s infrastructure and evidence of Qilin's AI use
Ransomware incidents in Japan rose 4.7% year over year. The Gentlemen was the most active group, with leak-site listings more than doubling from January to July. Qilin ranked second and appeared to use AI, while SMEs with capital under JPY 1 billion represented 80% of victims.Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karciekrebs
Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight
The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online. That reputation caught up with the company recently in a lawsuit alleging Radaris violated a New Jersey privacy law that provides for hefty fines against data brokers that publish personal information on state law enforcement officials. In the face of repeated stonewalling and prevarication by attorneys for Radaris, the judge in the case ordered that radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains be transferred t…Czytaj całość ↵Źródło — otwiera w nowej karcieCERT
