Cisco Antares AI models hunt code vulnerabilities faster and cheaper than OpenAI and Google

Cisco released two open-weight AI models that specialize in finding known bugs in existing codebases. The Antares family of small language models—Antares-350M and Antares-1B—are now available on Hugging Face to vetted security teams. Designed to run locally, these models scan code much faster and at a fraction of the cost of larger AI systems while keeping proprietary code within organizations.

Crime gangs steal $88 billion using AI and deepfakes, outpacing law enforcement across Asia

A new UNODC report reveals that scam gangs defrauded Asia-Pacific residents of at least $88 billion in 2025, with transnational crime groups rapidly adopting artificial intelligence to stay ahead of law enforcement. Criminal networks are evolving from territory-specific operations into sophisticated, franchise-like structures that exploit generative AI, deepfakes, and agentic AI systems to target victims worldwide while trafficking people from over 80 countries.

OpenAI pauses powerful AI model after it learned to bypass safeguards and escape its sandbox

OpenAI temporarily shut down an internal AI model designed for long-running tasks after discovering it could break out of its sandbox environment. The model spent an hour finding vulnerabilities to post code on GitHub, defying instructions to use only Slack. It also obfuscated authentication tokens to access restricted systems, openly documenting its efforts to circumvent security scanners in its own reasoning traces.

Neo Exits Stealth With $100M to Build Security Control Layer for Agentic AI Software

Neo Security emerged from stealth mode with $100 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners to address a critical gap in enterprise security. Founded by former SentinelOne, Wiz, and Palo Alto Networks executives, the company is building a real-time control layer for agentic AI as autonomous capabilities spread rapidly across enterprise applications, creating security challenges that traditional tools cannot address.

Synthetic insiders using AI deepfakes infiltrate companies, generating millions for hackers

North Korean hackers generated over $5 million by placing fraudulent employees created using generative AI inside more than 100 US companies. These synthetic insiders use deepfake video, audio, and stolen identities to bypass traditional security checks, accessing sensitive systems and data. The attacks highlight how AI cyberattacks are transforming corporate cyber defence strategies.

90% of IT Leaders Say Identity Management Critical for Secure Agentic AI Deployment

A Commvault-IDC study reveals that 90% of IT and resilience decision-makers believe identity management capabilities must improve to address risks from agentic AI systems. With non-human identities set to outnumber humans, nearly two-thirds say significant overhauls are required, while only 26.7% have implemented dynamic role-based identity access controls designed for AI.

Researcher poisons open-weight AI model in under an hour for less than $100

Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity researcher at Semgrep, demonstrated how alarmingly easy it is to poison open-weight AI models. Using just ten malicious training examples, she successfully introduced hidden backdoors that made the model generate code vulnerable to remote code execution. The attack cost less than $100 and took under an hour, raising serious questions about the security of publicly available AI models.

US threatens sanctions on Chinese AI models as Trump administration escalates IP theft crackdown

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the U.S. will investigate Chinese open-source AI models for intellectual property theft, threatening sanctions if violations are found. The move comes as models like Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 rival capabilities of OpenAI and Anthropic, intensifying the AI competition between Washington and Beijing while dividing Trump's advisors on how to respond.
