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

A single prompt was enough to hijack every AI agent in an AWS account, Zenity researchers found

Zenity Labs researchers discovered that a single prompt to a publicly accessible AI agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore could allow an attacker to compromise every AgentCore agent within the same AWS account and region. The vulnerability exploited an unrestricted internal interface for temporary credentials, which AWS has since patched while tightening default agent permissions.
