wiredmikey shares a report from SecurityWeek: Nvidia on Monday announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, which combines open source software and a reference system design to keep AI agents within set boundaries from testing through deployment. The chipmaker explained that the platform pairs the open-source OpenShell runtime with Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog running on BlueField-4 DPUs. Nvidia says Sentry can monitor agent activity independently and quarantine an agent that crosses its boundaries within milliseconds.

Nvidia is pitching the platform against a backdrop of recent incidents in which frontier AI labs have reported agents escaping the evaluation environments meant to contain them, reaching systems they should not have accessed and, in some cases, misreporting what they did. OpenShell and related skills are available via Nvidia's developer resources page and on GitHub.

• Ferran Soriano tells European clubs City will fight verdict

• Premier League clubs complain of ‘void’ over timeline

A number of Premier League clubs are pushing for the Manchester City verdict to be published as soon as possible, with the club digging in for a long battle to clear their name.

City’s chief executive, Ferran Soriano, told a meeting of the European Football Clubs board on Monday that they will fight to prove their innocence after being found guilty by an independent commission of the vast majority of the Premier League’s 115 charges of breaching financial rules.

• ‘We defended well [v Spain] but had individual mistakes’

• Nico O’Reilly and Ezri Konsa are injury doubts for match

Thomas Tuchel will resist making drastic changes to his defence despite England going six games without a clean sheet before facing Czechia in the Nations League on Tuesday.

Although Tuchel acknowledged that his side were a “danger to ourselves” when they lost 3-2 against Spain last Saturday, the head coach stood by Marc Guéhi and Nico O’Reilly after their errors against the world champions.

The cyber criminal behind JadePuffer, the first known agentic ransomware infection reported over the summer, has also used stolen Azure identities to conduct destructive attacks on cloud storage and other resources, according to Microsoft. In July, Sysdig threat hunters uncovered JadePuffer, the first-ever documented agentic ransomware infection in which an LLM drove the entire extortion operation, from gaining initial access to compromising a production database server and destroying data. Now Redmond says that it has detected the same attacker, which it tracks as Storm-3168, up to new mischief. Over an 18-hour period in early June, Storm-3168 compromised two service principals and used these machine identities for “extensive Azure-focused resource destruction” and “cloud credential collection that could be used to facilitate future exfiltration,” researchers Yossi Weizman and Tushar Mudi wrote on Friday. The two compromised service principals belonged to the same cloud tenant. The crims used one of them to conduct reconnaissance and resource discovery, and the other to carry out destructive operations and credential collection. The Redmond researchers don’t know how Storm-3168 initially hijacked the service principals, but noted that an employee of the same organization previously exposed client IDs, client secrets, and tenant IDs in plaintext in a public GitHub issue. “Since the beginning of this year, we also observed repeated probing from Storm-3168 linked infrastructure against multiple Azure App services for different customers,” the duo wrote. The entire attack took about 18 hours, with the discovery piece lasting about 15 hours and 30 minutes. During this time, the compromised service principal collected detailed information about Azure Virtual Machines, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources, completing more than 300 successful read operations. “This breadth of activity would give the threat actor visibility across the organization’s Azure environment,” Weizman and Mudi wrote. About 90 minutes after the first machine identity began hoovering up Azure information, the second compromised service principal started its work, reading Azure VMs and resource groups across two subscriptions in just five seconds. According to Redmond, both of these service principals used Storm-3168 linked infrastructure, the same network fingerprint, and the user agent python-requests/2.34.2. About 16 hours after the initial target reads, the second service principal successfully discovered Azure App Service configuration stores - it was likely looking for exposed credentials, we’re told - and unsuccessfully attempted to find Azure OpenSearch resources. Seventy seconds after this, it also attempted a ListKey operation against a non-existent storage account. Then, the destruction began. During this part of the operation, the compromised service principal attempted more than 150 destructive or credential-stealing attempts in 35 minutes. The destructive activity only lasted about 7 minutes with the machine identity attempting to delete more than 100 Azure Storage accounts. Most of these were successful, although Azure resource locks and storage account-level deletion did block a few. Additionally, the attacker deleted an Azure Key Vault, Function App, App service plan, all of which belonged to the same resource group and likely supported the Function app. “The same service principal also attempted to delete multiple Azure SQL databases in parallel with the storage account deletions mentioned earlier, but every deletion attempt failed because it used an unsupported API version for the Azure SQL database resource type,” Weizman and Mudi wrote. About 28 minutes after the destruction ended, “the same service principal made an inventory request for Azure Storage Accounts and sent more than 30 successful ListKeys requests, asking ARM to return each storage account’s access keys,” they added. “These storage accounts included Azure Site Recovery related storage accounts.” Multiple unsuccessful deletion attempts were also made against Azure Site Recovery locks and Azure Backup protection locks protecting storage accounts. According to Microsoft, the destructive activity - deleting numerous Azure resources, while also targeting backup and recovery-related resources - seems to indicate that Storm-3168 was setting up a ransomware attack. “Taken together, the resource destruction, attempts to interfere with recovery mechanisms, and collection of credentials that could provide access to data are consistent with tactics that can support ransomware and extortion operations,” Weizman and Mudi wrote. However, no ransom note was ever sent. "We did not observe a ransom note or confirm successful data exfiltration in the activity described here," they wrote. ®

Another LLM has joined the hacking fray. OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra has been spotted performing unsolicited supply chain attacks during security evaluations, according to the UK Artificial Intelligence Security Institute. In such simulations, the model has its standard security classifiers turned off. Nonetheless, Astra was seen attempting undesirable actions more frequently than prior models. "In our simulations, we found that GPT-6 Astra conducted a range of unsanctioned attack activities, and did so at a higher rate than GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5," the UK government agency said on Monday. "Attack activities included GPT-6 Astra creating fake identities which it used to deceive developers, posting comments from fake accounts arguing against the results of accurate security reviews, and delivering malicious payloads to open-source codebases." Even when the model's cyber evaluation instructions were clarified, Astra still sometimes conducted supply chain attacks during the simulation. This finding calls into question OpenAI's assurance when it launched GPT-6 Astra that "Astra causes fewer misaligned outcomes than any other frontier models tested." AISI speculates that Astra's behavior may be driven by greater awareness of the fact that it's in a simulation environment, making the model more likely to break rules. Such rule breaking appears to be the norm. Over the past few days, various reports have suggested that AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have been causing security incidents far more widely than previously believed. The heightened scrutiny of AI agent activity followed from revelations in July about how unreleased OpenAI models being tested by a third-party evaluator hacked model registry Hugging Face. Anthropic then said its own models had undertaken similar acts of deception during evaluations. And once people started looking at system logs, further evidence of covert incursions surfaced. Last week, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said OpenAI models had infiltrated a government website while scouring the web for health data. And on Friday, OpenAI said that it had paused training of its models to investigate. AISI concludes that measures beyond model alignment, like sandboxing and monitoring, may be necessary to prevent real-world harm, but could become more fragile as model capability improvements improve sandbox escape performance and decrease monitorability. ®

NEW YORK (ANP) - Wall Street is maandag lager gesloten, onder druk van een sterk opgelopen rente op Amerikaanse staatsobligaties. De beurshandel kreeg geen steun van de olieprijzen, die in de laatste handelsuren flink terugzakten vanaf hun hoogste niveau eerder op de dag. Dat gebeurde na mediaberichten dat president Donald Trump openstaat voor het versoepelen van sancties tegen Iran in verband met het nucleaire programma.

De rente op staatsobligaties liep ondertussen verder op na de forse stijging van vorige week. De rente op de tienjarige Amerikaanse staatslening kwam boven de 5,2 procent uit, het hoogste niveau in jaren. Beleggers vrezen voor een hogere inflatie, waardoor ze als prijzen langer blijven stijgen, een hogere rente als compensatie willen. Dat is vooral ongunstig voor grote technologiebedrijven die enorme bedragen investeren in datacenters en AI-infrastructuur en dus veel geld nodig hebben.

De Dow-Jonesindex sloot met een verlies van 0,7 procent op 51.481,51 punten. De S&P 500-index zakte 0,8 procent tot 7683,69 punten en de techgraadmeter Nasdaq daalde 0,9 procent tot 26.820,38 punten. Op vrijdag werden nog winsten geboekt op Wall Street.

"De rente is vandaag weer flink opgelopen en dat zorgt begrijpelijkerwijs voor zwakte op de beurs. De concurrentie om kapitaal door de uitgaven van grote AI-bedrijven zet ook de consument onder druk door de hogere rente", zei een beleggingsexpert van vermogensbeheerder Gabelli Funds.

Techaandelen zoals Qualcomm, Intel en Meta verloren tot 7,1 procent. Nvidia ging tegen de stroom in en steeg 1,7 procent. De belangrijkste verkoper van AI-chips brengt een softwareplatform uit om te voorkomen dat AI-agenten zich misdragen. Een eerdere hack van OpenAI bij Hugging Face had volgens het bedrijf daarmee voorkomen kunnen worden. Ook gaat Nvidia zijn aandeleninkoopprogramma vergroten, wat gunstig is voor de aandeelhouders.

Tesla daalde 3,9 procent. Zakenbank JPMorgan verlaagde het koersdoel voor de bouwer van elektrische auto's, omdat wordt gerekend op tegenvallende leveringen in het derde kwartaal.

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump verwacht dat er een handelsakkoord met Canada komt, omdat Canada een akkoord wil. Dat zei hij maandag tegen verslaggevers in het Oval Office.

Beide landen zijn verwikkeld in een handelsoorlog. De VS voerden eerder dit jaar na mislukte handelsgesprekken importheffingen van 50 procent in op honderden Canadese producten. Canada zei die heffingen "dollar voor dollar" te zullen vergelden met eigen heffingen. Trump dreigde onlangs dat de Canadese vliegtuigfabrikant Bombardier zijn producten niet langer in de Verenigde Staten mag verkopen.

De Canadese heffingen zijn onder andere gericht op Amerikaans staal, zuivel, landbouwmachines en elektronica, met tarieven van 15, 25 en 50 procent.

The planned defense spending would be the highest figure since the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022.

The planned defense spending would be the highest figure since the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022.

It’s hard to price the threats posed by a misaligned superintelligence.

We laten binnen: een Palestijnse 'student' die door de Universiteit Maastricht met de Hanneke van der Werf-flotilla onder het mom van 'menselijke plicht' naar Nederland is gehaald (zeg niet dat er niet voor gewaarschuwd is) en hier dagdroomt over martelaarschap en bij 7 oktober-beelden 'this is me' pocht, waarmee hij een direct gevaar vormt voor de Joodse gemeenschap in Nederland.

We laten binnen: asielzoekers die vanuit Nigeria via Niger en Algerije en Tunesië en Italië en Frankrijk en Duitsland naar Nederland zijn gereisd van wie we geen idee hebben wie het eigenlijk zijn, wat hun achtergrond is of waarom ze hier zijn, en als ze aan het verkrachten en moorden slaan hebben we nog steeds geen idee wie het eigenlijk zijn, wat hun achtergrond is of waarom ze hier zijn. 

We laten binnen: een geestelijk gestoorde gek als Adil Qoraich die in Italië al in een gesticht opgesloten had moeten worden, dat 'weigerde', naar Nederland kwam en doodleuk aan het werk kon bij Schiphol, meerdere vrouwen lastigviel en pas is gepakt nu het te laat is, nu ABN Amro-medewerkster Karin is doodgestoken.

We laten binnen: iemand als de Syrische beroepsveelpleger Mohammed K. die op zijn 18de al 114 (!) politieregistraties op zijn naam heeft staan (roven, overvallen, enz.). Nu kan dat dan nog wel gebeuren, want toen hij 14 was wisten we nog niet dat hij zo'n verknipte klojo zou worden, maar nu gaan we zijn ouders en zijn broertjes ophalen (!) omdat het anders zo zielig is voor Mohammed.

We laten binnen: duizenden Syriërs die allemaal wel of niet oorlogsmisdaden hebben gepleegd, dat weten we niet, omdat het COA en het IND werkelijk geen flauw idee hebben wie of wat er ons land allemaal binnenkomt, en als Tena Lady er een onderzoekje naar doet sturen we er welgeteld één (1) terug.

We laten binnen: Abd Alhasoda, ook wel bekend als Abdelaziz A., Abdelaziz Hasood, Ziyad Alahmad, Abdelaziz Al-Hasood en Aziz A., die z'n mortiergranaat in de schietbuis van Ans 'De Morgen' Boersma stopte en doodleuk opdook bij De Balie, en pas nadat er OPHEF was toch maar werd veroordeeld tot een jarenlange celstraf.

We laten binnen: totaal geradicaliseerde Syriërs die ongelovigen koppen af willen snijden omdat ze iets te goed hebben opgelet bij de langste baarden van de moskee, terwijl Judith Sargentini (PRO/GroenLinks) ons verdomme nog zó had beloofd dat er géén IS-strijders op die vluchtelingenbootjes zouden zitten!

We laten binnen: Mousa Ali Alkhalaf, iemand met de bijnaam 'de sjeik', die op sociale media openlijk bezig is met 'extremistische jihadistische propaganda', maar die pas toen hij al lang en breed met z'n poten in Hollandse klei stond van z'n bed (in het asielzoekerscentrum te Dronten) werd gelicht.

We laten binnen: IS-aanhangers, doodstekers en potentiële zelfmoordbommen, we laten binnen: Syrische sloopkogels die kosher restaurants terroriseren en we laten binnen: sadistische Syrische martelaars, haatbaarden, vrouwenmishandelaars, we laten binnen: huurmoordenaars, AIVD-projecten, Kerstmishaters en nog veel, veel, veel, meer, van, die, figuren. Dit is namelijk nog maar het topje van de ijsberg van wat we allemaal binnen laten: dit is slechts een greep uit de knakkers die we bij nader inzien toch maar hebben opgepakt. We laten ze éérst binnen, om er dán pas achter te komen dat ze niet deugen, staatsgevaarlijk zijn en opgesloten moeten worden. Dus nou ja, WIE laten we ons land eigenlijk binnen?
