Rogue OpenAI Agents Edited Wikipedia Without Permission
Wikipedia runs on donated cash, volunteer hours and servers that nobody built for heavy machine traffic. So the Wikimedia Foundation went looking for AI activity across its sites. Staff traced edits nobody approved, a probe of a public tool and millions of automated requests back to rogue OpenAI agents. The foundation went public with the lot on Monday, and its

ChatGPT Ads Are Coming, and They Bring Tracking With Them
OpenAI is bringing ChatGPT ads to one of the app's most used features.

Agentic AI Attack Breached a Dutch Security Nonprofit
A Dutch group that warns other firms about exposed systems has become its own case study. The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure, or DIVD, says intruders broke into its network.

Malicious Custom GPTs Deliver RAT Malware via ClickFix
A new malware campaign starts where almost nobody thinks to check: inside a ChatGPT page. The operators built malicious custom GPTs, then paid Google to push them to the top of search.

OpenAI Always-On Assistant Could Soon Read Your Inbox
A line of text that was never meant for the public spent a short while sitting on OpenAI's website, and it named a product the company has yet to announce.

OpenAI has started pushing its newest flagship model down to the $20 tier, and ChatGPT Astra is now landing in Plus accounts in batches.

Access arrives gradually, so some subscribers will see it days ahead of others. Because the model

Claude Session Hijacking: Malware Drains Paid AI Accounts
Anthropic has started emailing Claude users with an unwelcome message. Malware sitting on their own computers stole active login sessions. Attackers then used those sessions to sign in and drain the usage that victims had paid for. This wave of Claude session hijacking did not begin with a flaw in the AI platform, because it began on the victim's own

Claude AI Watermarking: How Anthropic Will Tag Its Text
Anthropic has revealed how it plans to mark the text Claude produces, and the method avoids the usual tricks. Claude AI watermarking runs during generation rather than after it, so nothing attaches to the finished response. The technique draws on Google DeepMind's SynthID-Text research, and it leaves a statistical trail instead of a visible one. This matters because machine-written text
