Researchers at the University of Toronto say their project highlights the risk of open-weight AI models being weaponized. The worm was able to spread over a network with no human guidance.

The code shack took down 73 repos within the space of 105 seconds after its alarms were tripped on Friday, June 5, after ...

An AI-driven worm using a local open-weight LLM autonomously exploited and replicated across 62% of a 33-host test network in ...

Miasma hit 73 Microsoft repos across four GitHub orgs, forcing access disablement and exposing open-source trust risks.

A team of researchers have shown how a self-replicating AI agent can take over a computer network at almost no cost.

The attacks stemmed from a GitHub account that was also compromised in a previous Miasma attack on Microsoft last month.

The worm that writes its own attack for every machine it encounters is not a warning about what is coming. It is a demonstration of what is already here. The question is whether the industry's ...

The Miasma credential-stealing attack framework, which has recently targeted open-source ecosystems through supply-chain ...

Dozens of cryptographically verified open source packages from Microsoft were compromised late last week to add advanced credential-stealing code that was triggered when developers opened them in AI ...

One of China's most prolific and well-known state-sponsored threat actors is back on the scene with new self-propagating malware that spreads through USB drives (along with other tools), to extend its ...

Once inside a computer network, the worm uses the processing power of the system for reasoning and then identifying its next ...
