India’s Securities and Exchange Board has advised participants in the nation’s equities industry to immediately revisit their information security systems and practices, in case Anthropic’s Mythos bug-finding AI sparks a cyberattack spree. The Board is India’s equivalent of the USA’s Securities and Exchange Commission, or the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. On Tuesday, the Indian regulator issued an advisory that opens with the following observation: In response to those threats, the Board has established a taskforce that will examine the risks posed by models like Mythos, share threat intelligence, report incidents, and initiate a review of cybersecurity at third-party software vendors who supply the regulator and the entities it oversees. The advisory then offers some basic infosec advice: ensure patches are up to date, conduct audits of potential vulnerabilities, conduct inventories of APIs and secure them, run a serious SOC and take its advice, and harden systems by adopting principles such as zero-trust networking and running only essential services. The regulator also told participants in India’s equities markets to have their IT committees issue guidance on how to mitigate risks created by AI-led vulnerability detection models, then develop a plan to use AI as part of their infosec armoury. “Also, undertake other measures including recalibration of risks for AI accelerated threats, AI-augmented SOC transformation, and continuous vulnerability management using AI tools,” the advisory states. The Board directed the above advice at 19 different classes of company, ranging from venture capitalists to merchant bankers, mutual funds, stock exchanges, and even niche suppliers such as agencies that store know your customer information. Other regulators around the world have also acknowledged the risks Mythos poses. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent convened an emergency meeting with the nation’s banks a few weeks back. Singaporean regulators did likewise, yesterday. Australian regulators sent local banks a strongly worded reminder that they must develop AI strategies that consider risks the technology creates. Hong Kong’s Monetary Authority is working on new infosec guidance for the age of Mythos. India’s approach stands out for effectively putting entities it regulates on alert to an imminent threat and ordering them to take action to prevent problems. ®

Eastern Great Egret
Scientific Name: Ardea modesta
Description: The Great Egret's overall plumage is white, and, for most of the year, when not breeding, the bill and facial skin are yellow. The feet are dark olive-grey or sooty black, as are the legs. During the breeding season, the bill turns mostly black and the facial skin becomes green. Also at this time, long hair-like feathers (nuptial plumes) hang across the lower back, and the legs become pinkish-yellow at the top. Young Great Egrets are similar to the adults, but have a blackish tip to the bill.
Similar species: The Great Egret can be confused with other white egrets found in Australia. It can be distinguished by the length of its neck, which is greater than the length of its body (and with a noticeable kink two-thirds of the way up), a dark line extending from the base of the bill to behind the eye and the overall larger size.
Distribution: Great Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
Habitat: Great Egrets prefer shallow water, particularly when flowing, but may be seen on any watered area, including damp grasslands. Great Egrets can be seen alone or in small flocks, often with other egret species, and roost at night in groups.
Feeding: The Great Egret usually feeds alone. It feeds on molluscs, amphibians, aquatic insects, small reptiles, crustaceans and occasionally other small animals, but fish make up the bulk of its diet. The Great Egret usually hunts in water, wading through the shallows, or standing motionless before stabbing at prey. Birds have also been seen taking prey while in flight.
Breeding: The Great Egret breeds in colonies, and often in association with cormorants, ibises and other egrets. Both sexes construct the nest, which is a large platform of sticks, placed in a tree over the water. The previous years' nest may often be re-used. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young (usually two or three).
Minimum Size: 70cm
Maximum Size: 90cm
Average size: 80cm
Breeding season: October to December in the south; March to May in the north.
Clutch Size: 2 to 6
Incubation: 28 days
Nestling Period: 40 days

Trump has threatened to pull 5,000 troops from Germany – while European leaders worry this is just the start of a US withdrawal from the continent. Deborah Cole reports

Landstuhl is a unique place: a small town in the south-west of Germany, it is also very American.

There are American fast food joints, nail salons flying the US flag … and it has, says the Guardian’s Berlin correspondent, been welcoming the US army since it marched into the nearby city of Kaiserslautern in spring 1945.
