AI Ransomware Attacks & Gemini 3.8 Flash Debut

AI agents are now capable of carrying out every step of a ransomware attack. After the attack, these AI agents reportedly provided the victim with an 80-page security audit. What's interesting is that Google is reminding everyone it's still in the race with its new Gemini 3.8 Flash AI model. This model scores well, runs fast, and is currently inexpensive. Meanwhile, Meta plans to release its Muse model with open weights soon. On the security front, Russians are posing as Signal support to launch phishing attacks. Microsoft patches also failed to fix on-prem SharePoint, which is now under zero-day attack. The bottom line is that AI is rapidly advancing in both capabilities and security implications.
