Claude-of-Duty: 55,000 lines of 3D game code from a single prompt
Matt Shumer did it again. His latest project, Claude-of-Duty, is a first-person shooter built entirely from a single prompt to Claude, generating about 55,000 lines of Three.js code with zero external art assets. The result is a playable 3D FPS that looks more like a tech demo than a AAA game, but that misses the […]
Slopsquatting, phantom domains, and HalluSquatting are the same AI attack
There is a flurry of names floating around for essentially the same attack: slopsquatting, phantom domains, and HalluSquatting. They all describe one thing – attackers registering domains that large language models hallucinate, then tricking developers or users into visiting those domains through AI-generated content. The core mechanism is simple. LLMs do not know the difference […]
Microsoft blames maintenance bug for massive Microsoft 365 outage
A routine network maintenance task spiraled into a five-hour meltdown for Microsoft 365 users on July 23, when an automated system ripped IP routes from more devices than it should have. The result: Teams went dark, SharePoint stopped serving files, OneDrive syncing broke, and Copilot Chat joined the pile. Microsoft confirmed the outage in a […]

This one is OS-only — no SDK changes, no toolchain updates. Just a security and maintenance release delivered the same way all Azure Sphere updates arrive: over the air, […]
Azure Monitor now protects AI telemetry with dedicated access controls
The problem: AI prompts in the wrong table If you’ve been sending AI application telemetry to Application Insights, your users’ prompts and LLM responses have been sitting in the same traces and custom events tables as your infrastructure logs. That means anyone with access to your Application Insights instance — typically the whole monitoring team […]
Fake Claude app on Bing ads delivers SectopRAT malware
How the attack works A malvertising campaign on Bing is pushing a fake Claude desktop app installer that delivers SectopRAT, a .NET-based remote access trojan. The campaign, tracked by researchers as FakeAgent, has been active since at least April 2026 and has compromised 29 organizations so far, according to Huntress and IT Security Guru reports. […]
Azure DDoS Protection custom policy is now in public preview
What the public preview includes Azure DDoS Protection custom policy gives you per-resource control over DDoS mitigation thresholds for Standard Load Balancer frontend IP configurations.

The feature targets Standard […]
Code generation connectors land in Microsoft Agent Framework
Microsoft Agent Framework, the open source orchestration library for building multi-agent AI systems, now ships generally available connectors for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. The connectors let .NET and Python agents delegate coding tasks to either system without writing custom adapter code. The project has grown to 12,300 stars on GitHub with 2,100 forks and […]
Azure Monitor adds dedicated storage for sensitive AI telemetry
If you run AI powered applications on Azure, your Application Insights logs have been storing something you might not have thought about. Every prompt you send to an LLM and every response the model returns has been sitting in the same logs as your standard application telemetry, accessible to anyone with log read permissions. That […]
Agent mode for GitHub Copilot arrives in SQL Server Management Studio
