In Short:
– Cybersecurity executives warn AI is altering threat landscapes, enabling attackers to execute rapid, sophisticated assaults.
– Wiz’s Luttwak emphasizes the need for new defensive strategies due to AI-driven vulnerabilities affecting numerous companies weekly.

Cybersecurity executives are raising alarms about the impact of artificial intelligence on cyber threats. AI is fundamentally changing the threat landscape, with attackers using AI tools to execute sophisticated, automated attacks more rapidly than ever.Ami Luttwak, chief technologist at cybersecurity firm Wiz, explains the emergence of a “mind game” in which attackers leverage the same AI tools as enterprises. These attackers utilize prompts to instruct AI systems to extract sensitive information or disrupt operations.

Real-world incidents illustrate these threats. In August 2025, attackers targeted Drift, an AI chatbot firm, by compromising OAuth tokens to access Salesforce data from numerous companies such as Cloudflare and Google. The attack employed “vibe coding,” an AI-assisted method allowing developers to describe functionality in natural language.

Despite the limited integration of AI in enterprises—estimated at only 1%—Wiz reports thousands of companies impacted by AI-driven attacks weekly. The s1ngularity attack in August exemplified this threat, as harmful code in the Nx JavaScript build system targeted AI tools, harvesting sensitive credentials.

Research by Veracode reveals significant vulnerabilities, finding that 45% of AI-generated code contains security flaws. Attackers exploit “vibe coding” to create functionality quickly, often sidestepping secure implementation.

Industry Response

Wiz, acquired by Google for $32 billion, has developed products like Wiz Code and Wiz Defend to counter AI-related attacks. The company achieved SOC2 compliance, demonstrating a security-first approach crucial for AI startups.

Luttwak warned that all security domains now face new AI-powered threats, necessitating a reevaluation of defensive strategies. With cybercrime costs projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, the cybersecurity industry confronts unmatched challenges as attackers and defenders race to adapt to AI’s transformative impact.

Are women being silenced on LinkedIn? Algorithm claims spark debate

LinkedIn’s algorithm may favor men’s content, prompting concerns about gender bias and visibility for women professionals.

LinkedIn’s algorithm may favor men’s content, prompting concerns about gender bias and visibility for women professionals.


A Melbourne-based LinkedIn coach has raised concerns that the platform’s algorithm may be limiting the reach of women’s content. The discussion has intensified after an experiment showed major differences in engagement between male and female profiles posting identical content. Is the algorithm unintentionally amplifying gender bias?

We speak with Darren Woolley from TrinityP3 to unpack the evidence behind these claims, explore the implications of LinkedIn’s denials, and break down what these changes mean for professional women trying to build visibility online. What does the shift from cumulative to daily performance graphs signal? And how worried should users be about hidden bias?

Darren also explains why women must continue posting, how to create content that cuts through algorithm changes, and what strategies can help users—particularly women—boost their reach. Plus, we look at the broader call for more diverse voices to be heard on the world’s biggest professional platform.

Deadly fire at Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court kills 36, 279 missing; authorities face scrutiny over construction safety.


A horrific fire has torn through Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court housing complex, killing at least 36 people and leaving 279 missing. The blaze erupted in the Tai Po district and quickly intensified as bamboo scaffolding helped the flames spread with alarming speed.

The complex, home to nearly 4,800 residents, was undergoing major renovations at the time of the disaster. Authorities are now facing renewed scrutiny over construction safety and the ongoing reliance on bamboo scaffolding, which has been at the centre of multiple accidents in recent years.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed deep condolences and called for urgent rescue and recovery operations as emergency teams continue searching for survivors.

Two National Guard members shot near the White House; critical condition prompts major law enforcement response and lockdown.


Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the White House, prompting a major response from law enforcement. A suspect was also shot during the confrontation, and officials report the guards are in critical condition. President Trump, currently in Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, confirmed the severity of the incident.

Authorities quickly locked down the White House and the Treasury Department’s headquarters as police surrounded Farragut Square with heavy security and yellow tape. The area remains closed off as investigators work to understand what led to the violent encounter.

This shooting comes as tensions rise around the National Guard’s legal role in the capital. A federal judge recently ruled their presence violates several laws but delayed action until December 11, leaving a controversial deployment in limbo.
