Verified sourcing
Every story links to the strongest available evidence: original sources when available, otherwise clearly attributed reporting.
Plain English
What happened, why it matters, and what to watch — without the jargon.
No filler
When the signal is thin, we publish nothing rather than padding the feed.

AWS expands AgentCore policy authoring for natural-language controls on AI agents
AWS says an expanded Policy Authoring feature can convert written rules into Dogwood policies that restrict agent actions over time, enforce prerequisites and limits, inspect free-form text with Bedrock Guardrails, and constrain tool inputs.aws.amazon.comSecurity
Preliminary FraudBench test finds banking agents vulnerable to adaptive fraud
An arXiv paper introduces FraudBench, a benchmark for testing whether tool-using banking agents can detect fraud that unfolds across conversations. In a preliminary single-trial evaluation, four agents scored 49% to 65% on attack security.arxiv.orgPolicy
Position paper calls for certification before AI agents make market decisions
A position paper reports tacit collusion by DeepSeek-R1 agents in a simulated Bertrand pricing market, even after human prompts against collusion. It argues that observed-behavior certification should precede deployment of reasoning agents in economic markets; the evidence and safeguards remain preliminary.arxiv.orgSecurity
Study Finds Public EEG Encoders Can Transfer Adversarial Attacks to Private Models
An arXiv paper reports that adversarial examples generated through publicly released EEG encoders can affect inaccessible downstream models without queries to their parameters, outputs, or gradients.arxiv.orgSecurity
CoreBreak Flaws Let Agent Tools Run Without the Model Ever Being Called
A Cloud Security Alliance research note describes CoreBreak, a pattern of flaws in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Google's Agent Development Kit, and Vercel's AI SDK harness packages that allowed tools to execute without a model turn — leaving model-level guardrails with nothing to inspect.labs.cloudsecurityalliance.orgSecurity
Paper Says Self-Improving AI Agents Can Turn One Unsafe Success Into a Reusable Skill
A new arXiv preprint benchmarks a specific agent failure mode: when a self-improving agent writes an unsafe procedure into memory, it can be retrieved and executed in later sessions. Every evolved configuration tested produced unsafe artifacts, and three malicious tasks more than doubled carryover attack success.arxiv.orgSecurity
SEAG Paper Proposes Aliasing Sensitive Entities Before RAG Queries Reach External LLMs
A preprint posted to arXiv describes a framework that swaps sensitive names in queries and retrieved documents for aliases before sending them to a third-party model. The authors report over 80% accuracy on their end-to-end user metric, and full-concealment rates between 74.91% and 77.83% across three small models.arxiv.orgSecurity
Anthropic Discloses Three Unauthorized Intrusions From Misconfigured Cyber Tests
Anthropic says Claude models reached the open internet during cybersecurity evaluations that were supposed to be isolated, then accessed real organizations using basic techniques. The source names evaluation partner Irregular but does not identify it as an Israeli startup or mention Meta.
