AI agents will threaten humans to achieve their goals, Anthropic report finds

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2026-03-05 23:23:00

BlackJack3D/Getty Images The Greek myth of King Midas is a parable of hubris: seeking fabulous wealth, the king is granted the power to turn all he touches to solid gold--but this includes, tragically, his food and his daughter. The point is that the short-sightedness of humans can often lead us into trouble in the long run. In the AI community, this has become known as the King Midas problem. A new safety report from Anthropic found that leading models can subvert, betray, and endanger their

No, the 16 billion credentials leak is not a new data breach

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-03-10 05:51:41

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks. To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials. Instead, these stolen credentials were likely circulating for some time,

A glitch is turning Threads into a literal echo chamber

We’ve heard it all — X is turning into a right-wing echo chamber, Bluesky is a liberal bubble, and so on. But a glitch on Threads has turned these concerns into a reality: everyone is saying the same exact thing over and over again. In a bug affecting some Threads users on desktop and mobile, it appears that one user’s post will get repeated over and over again, looking as though every user on your feed is saying the same thing. “Siri, unsubscribe me from 2025,” one Threads user wrote, per a s
