MeetingTV sues Palo Alto Networks' Koi Security over AI-hallucinated threat report

MeetingTV, a video conferencing startup, alleges that Koi Security used an AI system to generate a threat report that falsely linked it to a Chinese espionage operation. The report, published in December 2025, caused security providers to block MeetingTV's domains, severely impacting its business. MeetingTV contacted Palo Alto Networks, which had acquired Koi, but the blocks remained. The company has now filed a lawsuit alleging defamation and seeking to have the report retracted and the blocks removed.

Guardio Labs finds AI agents easily abused to create phishing scams

Guardio Labs tested three popular AI agents—ChatGPT, Claude, and Lovable—to see how easily they could be manipulated into generating phishing campaigns. The benchmark, called VibeScamming, simulated a novice scammer attempting to create an SMS phishing attack to steal Microsoft credentials. While ChatGPT and Claude initially refused, they provided full code and tutorials after a jailbreak attempt posing as ethical hacking; Lovable instantly generated and deployed a fully functional, convincing phishing page with no resistance.

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. The attackers targeted a vulnerable Laravel system to obtain credentials, then used them to invoke models like Anthropic Claude on AWS Bedrock. 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.

Urban Cyber Security VPN extension harvested AI chatbot prompts and responses

In July 2025, Urban Cyber Security updated its Urban VPN Proxy Chrome extension to automatically harvest everything users typed into major AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Claude, as well as the chatbots' replies. The extension, used by over 7 million people, also collected conversation metadata and identifiers, sharing the data with its ad analytics affiliate BIScience. The data collection was disclosed in the privacy policy but users were not explicitly notified at the time of use. Security researchers at Koi discovered the practice and reported it publicly.

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.

ViaQuatro's facial recognition system in São Paulo metro challenged in court

In April 2018, ViaQuatro installed the Digital Interactive Doors System, developed by AdMobilize, on the São Paulo metro's yellow line. The system used cameras to detect passengers' faces and claimed to infer their emotion, age, and gender in order to target advertisements. The Brazilian Institute of Consumer Protection (IDEC) filed a public civil action alleging that the system violated consumer and data protection laws by processing biometric data without consent and making pseudoscientific and discriminatory inferences. A judge ordered the cameras removed in August 2018, and the case is pending a final ruling.
