London- and New York-based Tracebit has developed a military style solution to AI attacks. Just as landmines are used to destroy or slow an advancing army, Tracebit has developed AI ‘context bombs’ that are planted in the battlefield. Each bomb comprises crafted and hidden prompts that are automatically ingested by the attacking AI when it crawls the target. These new prompts interfere with the original, possibly malign, purpose of the attacking agent. Tracebit’s new research (Making attacking agents pay’) extends earlier research that used different context bombs to trigger guardrails. It now focuses on misdirecting and entrapping the agents with…
Explanation: Star light, star bright: is there a green star out tonight? Other than the Sun, all stars are so far from Earth that they appear as points in the sky. They are mostly white, but sometimes noticeably red or blue. This color typically relates to the temperature: blue stars are hotter than red stars. What about other colors?

White dwarfs are small, faint stars that are left over when a star like the Sun…
Last week we told you that the iQOO Z12 Turbo’s chipset leaked along with its screen size, and that it will very likely be sold outside of China as the iQOO 16R, just like the Z11 Turbo became the iQOO 15R. Today, the iQOO 16R has received its first certification, showing up in Indonesia’s TKDN database with the model number I2606. The listing confirms the iQOO branding and 5G support. The same model number was spotted in the GSM Association’s IMEI database back in early September, which is where the iQOO 16R name first surfaced. Going by the Z12 Turbo…
Meta said during its third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday that its AI app Muse has been adopted by more than 10 million users, confirming estimates released earlier this week by market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. But it is how people are using it, and how much they’re spending that has caught CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s attention. Zuckerberg said about 25% of people who set up Muse now use it daily, helping improve retention. He also shared that over a quarter of Muse’s engaged users who were shopping via the AI agent, had an average purchase size of over $200, which was…

PHP has rolled out patches for two critical-severity vulnerabilities named PHP2Shell that could provide attackers with unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). The issues are tracked as CVE-2026-109618 (out-of-memory (OOM) corruption) and CVE-2026-109619 (stale global state) and have a CVSS score of 9.2. For both, RCE was confirmed on Apache with mod_php. “Both issues sit in parts of PHP that nearly every request touches: memory management and error handling. Their central place in PHP is what made both vulnerabilities serious, and also so hard to fix,” the PHP Foundation says. Patches for both were included in PHP versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36…
