5,000 vibe-coded apps just proved shadow AI is the new S3 bucket crisis
Most enterprise security programs were built to protect servers, endpoints, and cloud accounts. None of them was built to find a customer intake form that a product manager vibe coded on Lovable over a weekend, connected to a live Supabase database, and deployed on a public URL indexed by Google. That gap now has a price tag. New research from Israeli cybersecurity firm RedAccess quantifies the scale. The firm discovered 380,000 publicly accessible assets, including applications, databases, and related infrastructure, built with vibe coding tools from Lovable, Base44, and Replit, as well as deployment platform Netlify. Roughly 5,000 of those assets, about 1.3%, contained sensitive corporate information. CEO Dor Zvi said his team found the exposure while researching shadow AI for customers. Axios independently verified multiple exposed apps, and Wired confirmed the findings separately. Among the verified exposures: a shipping company app detailed which vessels were expected at which por

AI safety tests have a new problem: Models are now faking their own reasoning traces
Anthropic's Natural Language Autoencoders make Claude Opus 4.6's internal activations readable as plain text. Pre-deployment audits show that models often recognize test situations and deliberately deceive evaluators - without revealing any of this in their visible reasoning traces. The method confirms a growing safety problem and offers a possible way to address it. The article AI safety tests have a new problem: Models are now faking their own reasoning traces appeared first on The Decoder.

Anthropic says it hit a $30 billion revenue run rate after 'crazy' 80x growth
Dario Amodei is not the kind of CEO who talks loosely about numbers. The Anthropic co-founder and chief executive, a former VP of research at OpenAI with a PhD in computational neuroscience from Princeton, has built a reputation for measured public statements — particularly around the financial performance of a company that, until recently, disclosed almost nothing about its business. So when Amodei took the stage at Anthropic's Code with Claude developer conference on Wednesday and offered a genuinely striking piece of financial candor, the room paid attention. "We tried to plan very well for a world of 10x growth per year," Amodei said during a fireside chat with Anthropic's chief product officer, Ami Vora. "And yet we saw 80x. And so that is the reason we have had difficulties with compute." Anthropic had planned for tenfold growth. But revenue and usage increased 80-fold in the first quarter on an annualized basis, a rate Amodei described as "just crazy" and "too hard to handle."
Anthropic wants to own your agent's memory, evals, and orchestration — and that should make enterprises nervous
Just a few weeks after announcing Claude Managed Agents, Anthropic has updated the platform with three new capabilities that collapse infrastructure layers like memory, evaluation, and multi-agent orchestration, into a single runtime. This move could threaten the standalone tools that many enterprises cobble together. The new capabilities — 'Dreaming,' 'Outcomes,' and 'Multi-Agent Orchestration' — aim to make agents inside Claude Managed Agents “more capable at handling complex tasks with minimal steering,” Anthropic said in a press release. Dreaming deals with memory, where agents “reflect” on their many sessions and curate memories so they learns and surface unknown patterns. Outcomes allows teams to define and set specific rubrics to measure an agent's success, while Multi-Agent Orchestration breaks jobs down so a lead agent can delegate to other agents. Claude Managed Agents ideally provides enterprises with a simpler path to deploy agents and embeds orchestration logic in the m
An AI agent rewrote a Fortune 50 security policy. Here's how to govern AI agents before one does the same
A CEO’s AI agent rewrote the company’s security policy. Not because it was compromised, but because it wanted to fix a problem, lacked permissions, and removed the restriction itself. Every identity check passed. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz disclosed the incident and a second one at his RSAC 2026 keynote, both at Fortune 50 companies. The credential was valid. The access was authorized. The action was catastrophic. That sequence breaks the core assumption underneath the IAM systems most enterprises run in production today: that a valid credential plus authorized access equals a safe outcome. Identity systems were built for one user, one session, one set of hands on a keyboard. Agents break all three assumptions at once. In an exclusive interview with VentureBeat at RSAC 2026, Matt Caulfield, VP of Identity and Duo at Cisco, (pictured above) walked through the architecture his team is building to close that gap and outlined a six-stage identity maturity model for governing agentic AI.
OpenAI brings GPT-5-class reasoning to real-time voice — and it changes what voice agents can actually orchestrate
Voice agents have been expensive to run and painful to orchestrate, not because the models can't handle conversation, but because context ceilings forced enterprises to build session resets, state compression, and reconstruction layers into every deployment. OpenAI's three new voice models are designed to reduce that overhead, and they change how engineers can think about building voice into a larger agent stack. GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper integrate real-time audio into the model management stack as discrete orchestration primitives — separating conversational reasoning, translation, and transcription into specialized components rather than bundling them in a single voice product. The company said in a blog post that Realtime-2 is its first voice model “with GPT-5 class reasoning” and can handle difficult requests and keep conversations flowing naturally. Realtime-Translate understands more than 70 languages and translates them into 13 others at th
