SN 1091: 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.
