Imagine a world where hackers don’t sleep, don’t take breaks, and find weak spots in your systems instantly.
Well, that world is already here.
Thanks to AI, attackers are now launching automated, large-scale exploits faster than ever before. The time you have to fix a vulnerability before it gets attacked is shrinking to zero. We call this the Collapsing Exploit Window, and it means your

Last week, Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, an AI model so effective at discovering software vulnerabilities that they took the extraordinary step of postponing its public release. Instead, the company has given access to Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and a coalition of others to find and patch bugs before adversaries can.
Mythos Preview, the model that led to Project Glasswing, found

Mongolian governmental institutions have emerged as the target of a previously undocumented China-aligned advanced persistent threat (APT) group tracked as GopherWhisper.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new variant of a known malware called LOTUSLITE that’s distributed via a theme related to India’s banking sector.
“The backdoor communicates with a dynamic DNS-based command-and-control server over HTTPS and supports remote shell access, file operations, and session management, indicating a continued espionage-focused capability set rather than

A critical security vulnerability has been disclosed in a Python-based sandbox called Terrarium that could result in arbitrary code execution.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-5752, is rated 9.3 on the CVSS scoring system.
“Sandbox escape vulnerability in Terrarium allows arbitrary code execution with root privileges on a host process via JavaScript prototype chain traversal,” according to
