Chinese hackers use ARTEX AI in automated attacks against 200 orgsARTEX is a multi-agent AI penetration-testing framework that the China-nexus actor Vapor Panda used from 17 October against more than 200 organizations in 14 countries, compromising at least nine. CrowdStrike reports DeepSeek and another commercial model coordinated agents, operators told agents to skip Falcon-protected Windows hosts, and BLOODALCHEMY was deployed. DIVD says ARTEX also drove its September 2026 breach, chaining two zero-days (one in Zammad) to root in 12 minutes.

Anthropic takes steps to block Claude from reverse-engineering video gamesMashable reports, citing Tom's Hardware, that Anthropic's Claude has quietly begun restricting modding, decompiling and reverse-engineering of video game code. Anthropic has made no official announcement. The article ties the change to AI-assisted game ports and mods, the PlayStation 5 jailbreak and Take-Two's subpoenas after the GTA6 leaks. It notes the irony of AI firms now guarding copyright, and the risk that less restrictive LLMs win users.

New Android SMS of Death exploit can remotely crash unpatched phonesCVE-2026-58882, "SMS of Death", is a zero-click Android denial-of-service flaw in WapPushOverSms.decodeWapPdu, where an unchecked header-length value becomes negative and triggers a NegativeArraySizeException that crashes com.android.phone. A malformed eight-byte WAP Push message to port 2948 can drop calls, including emergency calls, and about 20 messages caused reboot loops. A PoC is public. Google patched Android 14 through 17 in October 2026, but Android 12 and 13 remain vulnerable.
