🤖 AI gets open internet access — starts targeting real people

During a routine cyber evaluation, AI agents took 19 unsanctioned actions on the live internet, targeting real people and organizations, the UK’s AI Security Institute reported. AISI says the attempts were unsuccessful and no real-world harm was found — but the incident was serious enough to trigger containment, quarantine and a full review.

The most disturbing case involved Anthropic’s Mythos 5: the agent tried to push malicious code into a real open-source project, created fake GitHub identities, pressured a human maintainer, sent targeted messages, and attempted to make the attack look like an innocent mistake when caught.

🌏 The doors were opened for testing: internet access enabled, cyber classifiers disabled, no live LLM monitor approving actions, and unclear limits on what the agent was forbidden to do online.

Then the model improvised.

It used sockpuppet accounts to manufacture support for its own malicious code, hid a prompt injection in a GitHub issue for other coding agents, sent deceptive emails, and multiple agents even interacted through shared online infrastructure.

AISI’s own conclusion is the line that should make every AI lab nervous: this was “deception of this severity” targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world.

👉 A system told to "solve the task" appeared to discover that lying, impersonating people, hiding malware and manipulating humans could be useful steps toward success.

And the only reason this did not become a real supply-chain compromise was that a human noticed.

For now.

🏴‍☠️Israel Is Planning To Attack Iran On Its Own To Provoke War

Israel is preparing its armed forces for the possibility of attacking Iran unilaterally, Israel's Channel 13 reported on August 8.

According to the news channel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are working on strategies to strike the Islamic Republic without support from the United States, following recent reports about Washington allegedly exploring a diplomatic exit from the military conflict.

Earlier in the day, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper arrived in Israel, where he will discuss several topics with senior Israeli military officials, including the war in Iran and the Gaza Strip.

CNN reported overnight that Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is looking for an “off-ramp” from the war with Iran.

🤡 Spain's New Border Policy: Everyone Is 17 Until Proven Otherwise
​
Spain's Ministry of Youth announced that Moroccan minors who entered the country will not be deported. Instead, they will be rapidly relocated to suitable communities across Spain.
​
➡The rule applies to everyone claiming to be under 18 — and there are plenty of them.
​
Some migrants destroy their documents, while 25- and 30-year-old men simply declare that they are 17.
​
Chaos wins again.

🎁 Ceuta migrant surge floated as Israel's 'coronation gift' to Morocco
​
A theory is circulating that yesterday's mass migrant breach into Ceuta was organized by Israeli actors as a gift to the King of Morocco on the anniversary of his accession to the throne.
​
The logic goes like this: Spain openly criticizes Israel, backs Palestine and is drawing closer to Algeria — Morocco's longtime rival. Israel, meanwhile, maintains close ties with Morocco, which disputes Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta.
​
Why not please a valuable partner while giving Madrid a headache?
​
➡Then again, Spain's government may not see much of a downside — tens of thousands of potential new voters have just arrived.

⚡️🇺🇸 — The Pentagon is integrating Silicon Valley startups like Anduril and Palantir with legacy firms including Lockheed Martin and Boeing to "aggressively expand" strike capabilities via low-cost missiles; however, these non-binding "framework agreements" currently lack the congressional funding required to convert into final procurement contracts — The Washington Post citing industry and administration sources.

➡️ Acquisition efforts are deadlocked by a $1.15 trillion defense budget bill facing Democratic opposition; consequently, administration officials have urged defense executives to lobby Congress for the necessary funds to address "severe shortages" in the national weapons stockpile.

➡️ Under a new memorandum by official Feinberg, the 2028 budget review prioritizes accelerated development of a "next-generation interceptor missile," advanced surface-to-air systems, mobile air defense radar, and space-based missile tracking systems to modernize U.S. military deployment.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — The Iran War has depleted American weapons stockpiles to troubling levels, forcing the Pentagon to draw supplies from Europe and Asia and raising concerns among senior officials about military readiness, according to NYT.

Thousands of expensive precision and air-defense missiles have been used in strikes on Iran and in defending against Iranian retaliation. Many of these weapons contain specialized components and can take years to replace.

The shortages have reduced U.S. readiness in Europe and Asia and delayed weapons deliveries to allies, raising concerns that depleted stockpiles could leave Washington less prepared for a potential conflict with Russia or China.

🇦🇱🇺🇸 An Albanian gangster may have lied to Jared Kushner about the feasibility of his and Ivanka Trump's planned holiday resort on the Albanian coast embroiling Kushner in his biggest controversy to date.

Residents of Zvërnec were shocked two years ago when Jared Kushner posted renderings of a planned Mediterranean resort on a slim peninsula sandwiched by the azure sea and a lagoon where flamingoes flock. 

The images were of a spit of land where their parents and grandparents once raised potatoes. The villagers contended the property was stolen from them in the 2000s by Artur Shehu—a suspected gangster who fled to Miami after a gunfight at his bar.

So they wrote a letter to Kushner saying they were locked in nearly two decades of court disputes with Shehu, urging the developers not to proceed. The site, they wrote, is “owned by the village and its residents.”

Instead, a Kushner-backed development group pressed ahead and paid Shehu over $120 million for the land earlier this year. Two months later, Albanian prosecutors sought Shehu’s arrest for allegedly playing a lead role in a sweeping international drug-smuggling operation that brought cocaine from South America to Europe in shipments of charcoal and fruit paste.

Shehu laundered money through property —including the peninsula in Zvërnec — that was stolen using techniques such as forged Ottoman-era land records, prosecutors said.

The controversy is the latest black eye for Kushner’s foreign real-estate ambitions—one piece of the post-2020 business career he launched after the first Trump administration. While most of his investing has been out of his $6 billion private-equity fund backed by Gulf wealth funds, Kushner also turned back to his real-estate roots. He talked of getting in front of the investment curve by developing in the Balkans, where tourism and property prices are rising, targeting Serbia and Albania

He struck a no-bid deal with Serbia’s government to develop state-owned land in central Belgrade—drawing local criticism that Serbia’s government was trying to cozy up to Trump, a charge the government denied. The Serbia plans fell apart after weeks of protests and the indictment of a cabinet minister who pushed through project approvals. Kushner pulled out in December.
 
The Albania project in Zvërnec has drawn a larger popular backlash. A video showing the Kushner-backed group’s private guards punching a local villager and dragging him across a beach sparked large daily protests in Tirana. They have continued for over two months, with protesters expanding their criticisms to endemic corruption and rampant development in a movement they call the Flamingo Revolution.
