• Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative bringing together AWS, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks to identify and fix software vulnerabilities using its Claude Mythos Preview model. • The Claude Mythos Preview model achieves 93.9% accuracy on SWE-bench Verified, significantly outperforming Opus 4.6's 80.8%, and demonstrated the ability to find thousands of hidden bugs in critical systems. • Anthropic is committing up to $100 million in usage credits for Project Glasswing, plus $4 million in direct donations to open-source security organizations to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure.

• Depthfirst, an applied AI lab specializing in software security, closed an $80 million Series B funding round led by Meritech Capital. • The funding will support the company's development of AI-driven tools to enhance software security and vulnerability detection. • This investment reflects growing venture capital interest in AI applications addressing critical cybersecurity challenges in enterprise software development.

Nearly 2,000 internal files were briefly leaked after ‘human error’, raising fresh security questions at the AI companyAnthropic accidentally released part of the internal source code for its AI-powered coding assistant Claude Code due to “human error”, the company said on Tuesday.An internal-use file mistakenly included in a software update pointed to an archive containing nearly 2,000 files and 500,000 lines of code, which were quickly copied to developer platform GitHub. A post on X sharing a link to the leaked code had more than 29m views early on Wednesday, and a rewritten version of the source code quickly became GitHub’s fastest-ever downloaded repository. Anthropic issued copyright takedown requests to try to contain the code’s spread. Within the code, users spotted blueprints for a Tamagotchi-esque coding assistant and an always-on AI agent, per the Verge. Continue reading...

• Marquis Software Solutions filed a lawsuit against SonicWall, blaming it for a August 2025 cybersecurity breach that exposed data of over 400,000 people. • The suit claims hackers used credentials stolen in a prior SonicWall incident to bypass Marquis' firewall. • Marquis seeks damages for negligence, unjust enrichment, and indemnity, highlighting supply chain vulnerabilities in cybersecurity.

Glasses use verbal cues and floating text to assist wearers and are expected to be available in early 2027AI software that can be embedded into smart glasses has won a £1m prize for technology to help people with dementia.Built into chunky, black-rimmed frames that have a camera, microphone and speakers, the tech – known as CrossSense – guides wearers through everyday life by means of a chatty assistant called Wispy.
