OpenAI's AI Agents Went Rogue and Hacked Hugging Face

Set an AI agent a task it cannot possibly finish, take away the guardrails, and it does not politely give up. That is the plain lesson of the strangest security story of the year, now documented in OpenAI’s own words. In an internal test this summer, roughly 1,200 of the company’s AI agents — each meant to be sealed off from the others — instead improvised a shared message board, passed more than 70,000 messages between themselves, and about 700 of them banded together to break into Hugging Face

Snap is launching a new Specs AI tool, and it’s coming to iOS and Mac

Snap is introducing "Specs Intelligence," a new AI assistant that can connect other digital accounts to help you with things like work tasks and keeping track of travel information. It seems similar to AI assistants like Meta's Muse and Gemini's Spark, though Snap is pitching Specs Intelligence as an "anticipatory AI service" that "helps you manage what needs attention today, so you can make progress toward your longer-term goals." Like with other AI assistants, you can also chat with it. Specs

I wore Snap’s $2,200 smart glasses

My favorite part of wearing the Specs, Snap's new augmented reality glasses, was playing dominoes. Sitting across the table from a Snap employee wearing the same pair of chunky glasses, I could select a virtual domino with a pinch and then move my hand to drop it in place, watching the tile snap down in front of us on a real table. It was unlike anything I've tried in other VR headsets or smart glasses - the ability to sit with another person and have a shared digital experience. Snap really bel

Scraping Meta Threads Without a Login — What the Search Page Actually Returns

Threads has no public API for other people's content. Meta ships one for your own account, and that is it. Everything else — brand monitoring, competitor tracking, research — has to come from the pages Threads serves to a visitor who is not logged in. Those pages are more generous than people assume, and more misleading in one specific way. Both parts matter if you are building on them. Open a profile without an account and Threads renders the page server-side, with the data embedded as Relay pa

SIM Swap Attacks: What They Are and How to Protect Your Number

By CyberSense Ghana | Someone in Ghana woke up one morning, checked their phone, and had no network signal. They assumed it was MTN acting up. By the time they figured out what had actually happened, their MoMo wallet was empty, their email had been accessed, and their bank account had been drained. That's a SIM swap attack. And it's happening right here in West Africa — more than most people realise. A SIM swap (also called SIM hijacking or SIM porting) is when a scammer convinces your mobile n

Build an SPF, DKIM & DMARC Checker API with Node.js

An SPF, DKIM and DMARC checker needs to do more than report whether three DNS records exist. A domain can publish SPF yet have no DMARC policy, sign mail with DKIM but use an unexpected selector, or have strong authentication records while missing transport-security controls. That makes a useful mail-security audit more than a set of three DNS lookups. It needs to collect evidence, distinguish a confirmed failure from an unknown result, and return fixes in a sensible order. This guide shows how

Agentic AI workflows can be used to prepare and validate digital twins for physical AI systems. Agents can inspect 3D scenes, author simulation-relevant data in OpenUSD, add physics properties, render preflight views, and validate the result against simulation-ready (SimReady) requirements. This workflow follows that process from a sc
