China rejects Amodei’s AI slowdown proposal, calling it fearmongering and a US attempt to contain China’s technology sector. The debate over whether the world should slow down the development of advanced AI has quickly turned into something bigger than a technology argument. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has called for a slower pace of development, […]
Bulletin ID: 2026-112-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 09/14/2026 10:45 AM PDT Description: Temporary Elevated Access Management (TEAM) is an open source AWS sample solution for managing temporary elevated access via AWS IAM Identity Center.

Researchers have disclosed a new hardware attack, called DDRop, that breaks the memory protection in Intel and AMD confidential computing by silently dropping writes to a server's memory, so the processor keeps reading old encrypted data as if it were current. The attack requires an attacker who already controls the server's software and can briefly access the machine to insert a small circuit
An attacker was operating inside the network of 3BB, one of Thailand's largest broadband providers, and maintained remote control of internal machines using a legitimate management tool called MeshCentral, threat intelligence firm Hunt.io said. The company uncovered the intrusion by examining a server the attacker had left open on the internet, which held the attacker's own tools and a list of
A flaw in Telegram Desktop let a bot's message plant hidden JavaScript inside chats that users exported to HTML files, security researchers at ExPatch said in a writeup published on September 12. In Telegram, the message looked ordinary, with a link button, and the script ran only when someone opened the export file in a web browser. It could then copy every message in that file to

The managed detection and response (MDR) market has reached a turning point. We’ve gone beyond the baseline of 24/7 monitoring focusing on the speed of detection and moved to a world with a convergence of exposure management and response to deliver measurable, outcome-based defenses of a larger, AI-driven attack surface.For anyone evaluating MDR right now, the Managed Detection and Response Services Landscape, Q3 2026 report by Forrester is a useful map that lays out where the market is heading…
AI keeps showing up in the wrong places. Attackers are using it to speed up exploits, test defenses, and automate more of the job. Some models are also crossing lines on their own. That is not a great combination. The rest of the week is more familiar: old bugs still working, fresh exploit chains, exposed systems, weak defaults, and simple paths that should have been harder to abuse. A few of
