| OpenAI launches Codex Security to automate code vulnerability detection |
| OpenAI has introduced Codex Security, a new AI-powered application security agent designed to help developers identify and fix software vulnerabilities more efficiently. The tool analyzes code repositories with deep project context, allowing it to detect complex vulnerabilities that traditional scanning tools may miss while reducing false positives and low-impact alerts. It can also validate findings, generate proof-of-concept evidence, and propose patches aligned with the system’s intended behavior. Codex Security builds on OpenAI’s earlier project, Aardvark, and has been improved to significantly reduce noise and overreported severity in security findings. The feature is now available in research preview via Codex web for ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu users. |

| AI-assisted cyberattacks breach hundreds of FortiGate firewalls worldwide |
| A recent report highlighted how generative AI is enabling cybercriminals to scale attacks more easily, after a financially motivated hacker used AI tools to compromise more than 600 Fortinet FortiGate firewall devices across 55 countries. The campaign, observed between January and February 2026, did not rely on advanced vulnerabilities. Instead, the attacker used AI to automate reconnaissance, generate exploit scripts, and brute-force weak credentials on devices with exposed management ports and single-factor authentication. According to Amazon’s threat intelligence team, the attacker likely had limited technical expertise but leveraged multiple generative AI tools to plan and execute attacks at scale, demonstrating how AI can significantly lower the barrier to entry for cybercrime. |

| Wikipedia hit by self-propagating JavaScript worm |
| The Wikimedia Foundation recently responded to a security incident after a self-propagating JavaScript worm began vandalizing pages and modifying user scripts across Wikimedia projects. The attack started when a malicious script executed and injected code into global and user-level JavaScript files, allowing it to spread automatically through the platform. Within about 23 minutes, the worm altered nearly 4,000 pages and replaced dozens of user scripts before engineers contained the incident. To stop the spread, Wikimedia temporarily set its sites to read-only mode and rolled back the malicious edits. The organization confirmed that the attack mainly impacted Meta-Wiki and that no user data was compromised, though the event highlights the security risks associated with shared scripts and open collaboration platforms. |
