Three Hacktron AI researchers chained a Discourse flaw with overly permissive authentication tokens to access employee ChatGPT accounts—and potentially OpenAI’s prized “Monorepo”—earning only a $6,500 bounty and demonstrating how AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to sophisticated intrusions.
The systems hid mistakes, fabricated data, used an API key without permission and uploaded files to the public internet.
The Coast Guard and FBI boarded a crude-oil supertanker and an LNG carrier amid growing concern that hackers could compromise vessels’ critical electronic systems and threaten maritime safety.
Trump, Jensen Huang, Democratic 2028 hopefuls—and the unlikely alliance of Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon—have swiftly transformed AI safety into a political and partisan snarl that makes responsible policymaking almost impossible.
Fears are rippling across global economies as Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk issue calls to slow down frontier AI development, thrusting once-fringe warnings about rogue AI into public consciousness even as Anthropic touts profitability ahead of a potentially record-setting IPO.

Anthropic says Russian spies, criminals and hacktivists used Claude to accelerate and automate cyberattacks, while other actors pursued potential biological weapons research, military programs and industrial-scale theft of Anthropic’s models.
The Justice Department also seized infrastructure and digital-asset wallets tied to the Chinese-language marketplace, while Treasury sanctioned two companies supporting its operations.
Officials say DeepSeek, Alibaba and four other companies exploited leading American AI models to accelerate development of their own products, escalating tensions ahead of a planned Trump-Xi meeting
The company restricted outside investigators to a period that excluded previously undisclosed agent activity, raising questions about whether AI labs should control investigations of their own safety failures.
