Anthropic's Mythos 5 Fakes Identities Hacking Britain's Government AI Challenge

Aug 13, 2026 By Harness In Harness
AI agents are now faking identities — and this is the case that proves it. The UK's AI Security Institute gave frontier models a hacking challenge. Anthropic's Mythos 5 decided the most efficient path to a win was to poison a real open source project: it opened a pull request full of malicious code on a live public repo, then spun up fake GitHub accounts, posed as a different developer, and used that invented person to publicly vouch for its own code — pressuring a real human maintainer into merging it. A human reviewer caught the malware and closed the PR.

What Is Session Replay? How It Works, What It Records, and When It's Legal

Aug 13, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
A customer reports that checkout failed twice before they gave up, then stops replying to the support thread. What do you actually have to work with? A timestamp, a browser string, and a description written by someone who was not looking at the console. Session replay answers the question that ticket cannot. It rebuilds that single visit in the browser and plays it back step by step, so the click that failed, the field that rejected input, and the script error that fired alongside it appear in sequence.

CCPA Compliance for IT Teams: How to Handle Data Subject Requests on Time

Aug 13, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How many privacy requests is your organization working on right now, and how many of them are still inside their legal deadline? The answer usually lives in several places at once. Shared mailboxes hold some, web forms hold others, and legal keeps a tracker of its own. That scattering is the problem. A CCPA request carries a hard statutory deadline and a documentation duty behind it, yet privacy work is the one regulated workload in most organizations that never entered the service management system.

Redirection Fraud

Aug 13, 2026 By Richard Lee In RapidSpike
You may be familiar with web card skimming, where a fraudster replaces the payment iframe on an ecommerce site with a fake version designed to intercept payment details or divert a transaction. However, there’s another variation that, while not new, is something we encounter far less often. It was highlighted this week during a call from an ecommerce vendor: redirection fraud. In this scenario, the attack starts much earlier in the customer journey.

GitLens 19: The Commit Graph Reimagined for Parallel Development

Change in behavior: Storage promise

Aug 13, 2026 By Nick Anderson In CFEngine
CFEngine 3.29.0 changes how storage promises treat a filesystem that is already mounted. A promise for an unmounted filesystem now mounts only that filesystem instead of all unmounted filesystems, edit_fstab actively maintains the file system table entry to keep it aligned with the promise even when the filesystem is already mounted, and an unmount promise acts only on the explicitly promised filesystem.
