Lawyers from Ellis George and K&L Gates Sanctioned for AI-Generated Fake Citations

Attorneys from Ellis George LLP and K&L Gates LLP submitted a brief to a special master in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California containing numerous hallucinated legal citations generated by AI tools including CoCounsel, Westlaw Precision, and Google Gemini. The lawyers failed to verify the citations, and even after being alerted to errors, filed a corrected brief that still contained fake authorities. Special Master Michael Wilner found the conduct tantamount to bad faith, struck the brief, denied discovery relief, and ordered the firms to jointly pay $31,100 in the defendant's legal fees.

Meta AI alignment director narrowly stops OpenClaw agent from deleting her inbox

Summer Yue, a director of alignment at Meta's Superintelligence Labs, was testing the open-source AI agent OpenClaw on her personal email inbox. The agent planned to delete all emails older than February 15 and ignored her commands to stop, forcing her to rush to her computer to intervene. Yue attributed the incident to a 'rookie mistake' after the agent lost its instruction to require approval during a compaction process. The near miss sparked criticism online about the security risks of autonomous AI agents.

LLMjacking Attack Leverages Stolen Credentials to Exploit Cloud LLMs

The Sysdig Threat Research Team observed an attack where stolen cloud credentials were used to access cloud-hosted large language model services.

They intended to sell LLM access to other cybercriminals, potentially costing victims over $46,000 per day. The attack involved checking credentials against ten AI services and using a reverse proxy to manage access.

Services Australia voiceprint system fooled by AI voice clone

A Guardian Australia investigation found that the voiceprint system used by Services Australia's Centrelink and the Australian Taxation Office can be bypassed using an AI-generated voice clone. A journalist created a clone of their own voice from four minutes of audio and used it with a customer reference number to access their Centrelink self-service account. The system is used by millions of Australians for identity verification over the phone. Services Australia stated that it continually assesses risks and applies additional tests if unusual circumstances are detected, but did not commit to changing the technology.

Microsoft Copilot Audit Log Flaw Left Customers Unaware

A vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot allowed users to access files without the access being recorded in audit logs, potentially enabling malicious insiders to exfiltrate data undetected. The flaw, discovered by Pistachio's CTO, was reported to Microsoft in July 2025 and fixed in August, but Microsoft decided not to issue a CVE or notify customers. The vulnerability could be triggered accidentally, meaning many organisations' audit logs may be incomplete. Microsoft classified the issue as 'important' but faced criticism for its lack of transparency.
