'There's a misconception that the AI vulnerability race is imminent. The reality is it's already begun,' said John Hultquist at Google's threat intelligence group. 'There's a misconception that the AI vulnerability race is imminent. The reality is it's already begun,' said John Hultquist at Google's threat intelligence group. In just three months, AI-powered hacking has gone from a nascent problem to an industrial-scale threat, according to a report from Google .

Do you need to worry about Mythos, Anthropic's computer-hacking AI? A powerful AI kept from public access because of its ability to hack computers with impunity is making headlines around the world. But what is Mythos, does it really represent a risk and might it even be used to improve cybersecurity? Anthropic's Project Glasswing aims to improve online security The past few weeks have brought apparently alarming news of Mythos, an AI that can identify cybersecurity flaws in a matter of moments, leaving operating systems and software vulnerable to hackers. The cybersecurity community is now beginning to get a better sense of how Mythos may change the face of cybersecurity - and not necessarily for the worse.

Drone incursions over U.S. military bases reveal critical vulnerabilities in civilian infrastructure, from airports to energy grids, that experts say remain dangerously exposed.

Quantum computers could cause a global security crisis that makes the once-feared millennium bug, or Y2K, look quaint. This infamous computer risk was averted through the persistent behind-the-scenes work of engineers across the world, but whether the new threat will be tackled similarly is an urgent yet unresolved question. Most digital communications and transactions are protected by cryptography based on mathematical problems that are unsolvable by conventional computers but are solvable by a sufficiently capable quantum computer. Researchers have understood this since the late 1990s, but the day when this capable-enough quantum computer comes online - or Q-Day - was thought to be very far in the future. Working quantum computers are now a reality, and recent leaps in how to use them are bringing Q-Day ever closer.

Researchers spent five years developing an AI-based model to protect freshwater fish worldwide from extinction, with a particular focus on identifying threats to fish before they become endangered. "People sometimes go in to protect species when it's already too late," said Ivan Arismendi, an associate professor in Oregon State University's Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences. "With our model, decision makers can deploy resources in advance before a species becomes imperiled." The findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications. Nearly one-third of freshwater fish species face possible extinction, threatening food supplies, ecosystems and outdoor recreation.

Unidentified drones were reported near Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C., as the U.S. has heightened security at military installations amid strikes on Iran.

FBI Director Kash Patel is expected to tout Trump-era reforms at a Senate hearing Wednesday, many of which Patel thinks most American's don't know about.

Do Taliban's drone attacks expose a chink in Pakistan's armour? On the evening of March 13, drones struck three locations across Pakistan. Two children were wounded in Quetta. Civilians were also injured in Kohat and in Rawalpindi, the garrison city that houses the headquarters of Pakistan's armed forces and neighbours the capital, Islamabad. Pakistan's military said the drones were intercepted before reaching their targets.

Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt ISIS leaders before founding drone company PowerUs, said the threat comes from a new type of warfare that the US is still struggling to defend against. 'These new asymmetric threats, where you've got low-cost, cheap, small drones, in some cases, that are able to be sent in massive waves, don't have the same signature of an intercontinental ballistic missile,' Velicovich explained.
