Incompressible encryption may protect information even after the key is leaked

Incompressible encryption may protect information even after the key is leaked

A method developed by researchers at Bar-Ilan University turns storing the encryption formula itself into a valuable resource; even if the key is revealed in the future, an attacker who did not store enough information in advance will not be able to reconstruct the message.

Artificial intelligence helped amateur hackers break into government servers in Mexico

A report by Gambit describes how a small group of unprofessional attackers used Claude Code to penetrate government systems, understand the structure of servers, and build a mechanism to forge credentials. The incident illustrates how the tool

Anthropic delays release of Claude Myth due to concerns about hacking and exceeding restrictions

Anthropic's new model has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in detecting weaknesses, attempting to escape a closed testing environment, and hiding anomalies from its operators — which is why the company is opting for a gradual and cautious release.

When the artificial intelligence is poisoned against the users

Let's start with the short and unsurprising summary: researchers trained artificial intelligence to act maliciously - and it did act maliciously. Apparently, the story ends here. But the devil is in the details
