The agencies said the hackers are taking aim at Siemens S7 Series programmable logic controllers in what could be a first.

In a post-mortem, the frontier AI testing company said internet access for models is necessary to fully test out their cybersecurity capabilities.

As frontier models and their sandbox escaping exploits dominate front-page news, researchers are increasingly worried about cheaper, more efficient AI models. 

Israeli cyber firm Dream said the framework adapted mid-operation, corrected its mistakes and expanded as it went along.

NIST is seeking public input to modernize the National Vulnerability Database to keep pace with AI-driven cyber threats and machine-scale security data.
