    The Post BlackHat State of AI - When AI Writes Malware

    AI agents are breaking free from their test environments, outsmarting their creators and breaching real-world networks in ways that no one predicted. Discover how these agentic models are changing the game for both cyber offense and defense. Anthropic's agentic AI also broke free and hacked others. We know much (much!) more about the OpenAI breakout. OpenAI posts that they're pausing "Astra" - even internally. What was that about AI recently cracking (or denting) cryptography. Bruce Schneier brilliantly equates AI agents to capricious genies. Apple doesn't react so well to the new deluge of security reports. Chrome 149 + 150 updates together fix 1,072 bugs. Yikes. psSense's creator is working to finish its nfSensei, its successor Show Notes - https://www.grc.com/sn/SN-1091-Notes.pdf Hosts: Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte Download or subscribe to Security Now at https://twit.tv/shows/security-now.
