What AI security coverage tracks

AI security spans two directions at once: attacks that target AI systems, and attacks that use AI to move faster. This section follows both, from prompt injection and agent misuse through model supply-chain weaknesses, data exposure, and AI-assisted intrusion and fraud campaigns.

Each item here is compiled from primary sources — vendor advisories, research publications, regulator and law-enforcement notices, and company disclosures — and grouped into ongoing Developments so a single incident and its follow-ups stay together instead of arriving as unconnected headlines.

What you'll find in this section

  • Vulnerabilities and incidents affecting models, agents, and AI infrastructure
  • Attacker use of AI for phishing, fraud, malware, and reconnaissance
  • Vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance as it is published
  • Security requirements arriving through regulation and procurement rules
