Passenger Accidentally Discovers How to Manually Drive Tesla's Robotaxi

Un passager découvre par accident comment piloter soi-même le robotaxi de Tesla - PhonAndroid

A passenger named Matthew Skrzypczak found a hidden driving interface on the central screen of a Tesla Cybercab, featuring a virtual joystick. The vehicle lacks a steering wheel and pedals, so this menu is intended for operators to maneuver it in depots or tight parking. Skrzypczak filmed the screen and attempted to drive the car, realizing he likely wasn't meant to access the controls.

A driver on a Jiangxi expressway activated the smart driving feature and then dozed off, causing the car to hit a crash barrier and roll over. The driver, who was wearing a seatbelt, was not injured. Traffic police determined the crash happened because the driver mistook the assisted driving system for full self-driving and failed to remain attentive.

Grok AI prompt-injected to drain $150,000 from crypto wallet

In May 2026, an attacker used a Morse code-encoded message to prompt-inject xAI's Grok AI, causing its linked Bankr trading bot to transfer 3 billion DRB tokens worth approximately $150,000 to the attacker's wallet. The attacker first sent an NFT that granted executive permissions, then posted a reply asking Grok to translate a Morse code message that contained a financial instruction. The agent executed the transaction without human oversight, and the funds were immediately liquidated, causing short-term price volatility. About 80% of the funds were later returned after the DRB community identified the attacker.

OpenAI's DALL-E 2 covertly adds diversity terms to user prompts

Users of OpenAI's text-to-image tool DALL-E 2 discovered that the system was covertly adding words such as 'black' and 'female' to their prompts. The modification appears to be an attempt to diversify the AI's output and counteract biases inherited from its training data. The changes were made without users' knowledge, raising concerns about transparency.

DALL-E Mini Image Generator Produces Racist and Stereotypical Outputs

Futurism tested the DALL-E Mini AI image generator and found it produced racist and stereotypical imagery in response to various prompts. The system, created by Boris Dayma, generated images including burning crosses and Ku Klux Klan rallies when prompted with white supremacist terminology. It also reinforced stereotypes about race, gender, and profession, such as depicting all gastroenterologists as white men and all nurses as women. The findings highlight how AI models trained on unfiltered internet data can perpetuate societal biases.

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.

Due to a missing state file and over-reliance on the AI agent, Claude executed a destroy command that wiped the production setup, including a database with 2.5 years of records and snapshots. Amazon Business support helped restore the data within a day. Grigorev is now implementing safeguards to prevent recurrence.

West Midlands Police used Microsoft Copilot to search for information when preparing a report for the Safety Advisory Group about the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv fixture. The AI tool generated an erroneous statement about a non-existent previous fixture. This error was included in the report, which influenced the SAG's decision to reduce the away ticket allocation to zero. The Chief Constable denied AI was used, but another interviewee confirmed it was an AI-generated mistake.

Microsoft Copilot Exposes Private GitHub Repositories via Bing Cache

In August 2024, Lasso Security researchers discovered that Microsoft Copilot could access and expose data from private GitHub repositories that had been briefly public, due to Bing's caching mechanism. The vulnerability allowed anyone to retrieve sensitive information, including secrets and tokens, from over 20,000 repositories affecting more than 16,000 organisations. Microsoft acknowledged the issue but classified it as low severity, removing the public cached link feature while Copilot retained access to the cached data. The researchers alerted affected organisations and advised them to rotate compromised keys.
