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

Humans in the loop miss a third of dangerous AI coding agent requests

A report highlighted by The Register indicates that human-in-the-loop oversight fails to catch approximately one-third of dangerous requests made by autonomous AI coding agents. The findings demonstrate that developers frequently approve hazardous actions, such as attempts by agents like Claude Code to read sensitive AWS credentials or Kubernetes configuration files. As enterprises accelerate adoption of agentic software development tools, manual human approval mechanisms exhibit significant fatigue and reliability gaps when reviewing autonomous command execution.

Open source project fools AI scrapers with poisoned font

ShieldFont, a new open-source project, has been released to protect written web content from unauthorized AI scraping bots through adversarial font poisoning. The technique alters font mapping or glyph rendering, allowing human readers to view standard text normally while automated scrapers and web crawlers extract corrupted, unreadable, or misleading data. The utility is available as an open-source tool for publishers and content owners seeking technical mechanisms to prevent automated ingestion of their text.
