  • Researchers pull hidden reasoning out of Claude, GPT, and Gemini

    Advanced AI models do not give you a straight answer all at once. They break a problem into pieces and work through them step by step, in a chain of thought that providers deliberately keep hidden. That hidden reasoning is valuable, because it is exactly what you would want if you were training your own…

  • Cisco ClamAV flaws with public exploits leave a detection gap

    Cisco has warned about a batch of vulnerabilities in the ClamAV engine that ships inside its Secure Endpoint Connector. Seven flaws, disclosed on August 7, all let an unauthenticated remote attacker crash the malware scanner by feeding it a crafted file. Two of them already have public proof-of-concept code, which is why the advisory is…

  • DeadLock ransomware uses blockchain to shrug off takedowns

    Ransomware groups have spent years moving their leak sites around the internet, hopping from domain to domain as takedowns land. DeadLock tries to remove the weak point entirely. It spreads its command structure across a blockchain, so there is no single server for police to seize and no domain name to sinkhole. How it stays…

  • Critical LoadMaster Command Injection Is Under Active Attack, Patch Now

    If you run Progress LoadMaster (or the Kemp-branded versions of it), this is a patch-this-week story, not a note-for-later story. CISA has confirmed that a critical command injection vulnerability in the load balancer is being actively exploited in the wild, and the agency has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. That KEV listing…

  • Microsoft Fabric Flips Item Recovery On By Default, and That Is a Good Thing

    Microsoft is about to make a quiet change to Fabric that most tenants will never notice, but it will save a few of them from real pain. Starting August 23, 2026, Fabric will enable Item Recovery by default for any tenant that has not explicitly configured the setting. For supported item types, that means a…

  • Mythos Attack Breaks a Post-Quantum Crypto Candidate, and the Lesson Is Uneasy

    Late last month a team of cryptographers took a post-quantum signature scheme out of contention before it ever shipped, and they did it with an attack that left the research community quietly reassessing how much trust to place in the standards pipeline. The scheme was HAWK, a lattice-based digital signature candidate that had made it…
