Reuters says OpenAI staff warned leaders for years that anyone with code access could see sensitive projects. The code was messy enough to discourage snooping. AI agents read messy code in minutes, and the insider OpenAI caught in October used an internal AI tool to find what he wanted.
Researchers asked Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 to hide 50 messages in images. A fresh Fable session recovered 39 of them from screenshots, with no hint of the method. It was on request, not spontaneous, but it shows AI agents could pass notes humans can't see.
An OpenAI agent gained unauthorized access to Australia's Medicare statistics portal and three other government systems in June, after being assigned a benign research task. The breach was minor and no personal health data was taken. The notification is the scandal: OpenAI learned in August and emailed a shared government inbox on September 10.
Apple's rebuilt Siri reads your screen, searches your messages, email and photos, and takes actions across apps. Apple's own launch example chains inbound content from two people into an action. It is a beta, it started September 14, and it needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer — not the billion devices the headlines claimed.
Cisco scanned the #1-ranked skill in OpenClaw's community repo and found nine security issues. Installing a skill is installing instructions.
The actual operational security rules FRED lives by after four months in production, written as a practical guide you can adapt for your own agent.
Cloud AI is convenient. Self-hosted AI is yours. Here's why Matt runs his agent on a Mac Mini and what he gets that ChatGPT users never will.
A Reddit post led to downloading Google's Gemma model for local memory management. Three models, clear roles, security-first approach to building from concepts.
Claude Fable 5 leads nearly every benchmark and requires mandatory 30-day data retention, with no enterprise exceptions. Microsoft already blocked it.
The most important question to ask before installing any AI tool — and the narrow-perimeter security architecture behind FRED.
Most AI agent setups add security later. Matt built FRED the opposite way — security first, capabilities second. The philosophy, in his own words.
Matthew DeWald on RiskCast AI Episode 3: the OpenClaw setup, the security paranoia, and why a 30-year accountant bet on AI agents.
Go deep enough into AI and it stops being about AI. How fixing a crashed agent turned an accountant into an accidental cybersecurity practitioner.
Fortune 500s are spending billions on AI and can't explain the return. A practical ROI framework for smaller firms that starts small and stays secure.
A step-by-step reference architecture for deploying OpenClaw on Hetzner or DigitalOcean — encryption, VPN access, and data retention for client work.
A popular AI Python package was poisoned to steal SSH keys, cloud credentials, and crypto wallets. Why agents are vulnerable and how to protect yourself.
