Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a novel attack technique called TokenBreak that can be used to bypass a large language model’s (LLM) safety and content moderation guardrails with just a single character change.
“The TokenBreak attack targets a text classification model’s tokenization strategy to induce false negatives, leaving end targets vulnerable to attacks that the implemented
AI is changing everything — from how we code, to how we sell, to how we secure. But while most conversations focus on what AI can do, this one focuses on what AI can break — if you’re not paying attention.
Behind every AI agent, chatbot, or automation script lies a growing number of non-human identities — API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens — silently operating in the background.
And here’s
A novel attack technique named EchoLeak has been characterized as a “zero-click” artificial intelligence (AI) vulnerability that allows bad actors to exfiltrate sensitive data from Microsoft 365 Copilot’s context sans any user interaction.
The critical-rated vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2025-32711 (CVSS score: 9.3). It requires no customer action and has been already
Human identities management and control is pretty well done with its set of dedicated tools, frameworks, and best practices. This is a very different world when it comes to Non-human identities also referred to as machine identities. GitGuardian’s end-to-end NHI security platform is here to close the gap.
Enterprises are Losing Track of Their Machine Identities

Cybercriminals are exploiting the growing interest in open source AI models by disguising malware as a legitimate installer for DeepSeek.
The spate of cyber attacks impacting the retail industry continues, with the latest victim being United Natural Foods (UNFI), which supplies organic produce to Whole Foods, Amazon, Target, and Walmart, amongst many others.

ConnectWise has disclosed that it’s planning to rotate the digital code signing certificates used to sign ScreenConnect, ConnectWise Automate, and ConnectWise remote monitoring and management (RMM) executables due to security concerns.
The company said it’s doing so “due to concerns raised by a third-party researcher about how ScreenConnect handled certain configuration data in earlier versions.
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new account takeover (ATO) campaign that leverages an open-source penetration testing framework called TeamFiltration to breach Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) user accounts.
The activity, codenamed UNK_SneakyStrike by Proofpoint, has affected over 80,000 targeted user accounts across hundreds of organizations’ cloud tenants since a
What do a sleazy nightclub carpet, Google’s gaping privacy hole, and an international student conned by fake ICE agents have in common? This week’s episode of the “Smashing Security” podcast obviously.
Graham explains how a Singaporean bug-hunter cracked Google’s defences and could brute-force your full phone number. Meanwhile, Carole dives into a chilling scam where ICE impersonators used fear, spoofed numbers, and… Apple gift cards to extort terrified migrants.
Plus: Nazis, door safety, and the age-old struggle of telling Ralph Fiennes from Liam Neeson.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.
