Governments and cyber-security agencies around the world are scrambling to contain a massive flaw in internet technology, after AI discovered issues that could be exploited by hackers.
Developers of the PHP platform - which powers more than 70% of websites, including Wikipedia and digital shopping sites - rolled out patches to fix the vulnerabilities that had been lurking in their software for years.
Cyber-security firm Wiz described the issue as the "most severe" ever detected, while OpenAI, whose technology was used to find the flaws, called the discovery "one of the most impactful security issues in recent memory".
But how did AI discover a massive cyber-security risk in the internet, and what does it mean for you? The BBC's technology correspondent Joe Tidy reports.
### Briefing We improved Eon, the Slack agent used across Tiger Data, by building three agentic memory systems: a list of user-scoped facts, a general knowledge graph, and a tree-based system. As we watched agents use them, we learned that a more expressive system was not necessarily more effective. Other teams began using our tree-based system for applications beyond agent memory, extracting the reusable search infrastructure into searchgres.js, an open-source TypeScript library for hybrid search with composable…
Cloudflare has successfully obtained South Korea's Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification under the ISMS-P framework, aligning with the country's law, language, and expectations. This certification is not just a compliance checkbox but a demonstration of Cloudflare's security and privacy program's alignment with Korean standards. The most notable change is the customized sign-up page for Korean users, which presents four separate consent items in Korean, linked to their full text and requiring…
