Anthropic's AI Chains Zero-Days, Binance Loses $6.3B, 41,000 DHS Records Leak

Anthropic's unreleased Claude model chained zero-days into working exploits, including a CVSS 9.8 Linux kernel flaw that leaves unpatched servers open to root access without any user interaction. A group calling itself the Department of Peace leaked records on more than 41,000 DHS employees, copied from the agency's Okta single sign-on system. Polymarket traders lost funds to malicious code served from Debug Bear. A Volt Typhoon-linked actor has exploited a Cisco SD-WAN zero-day since 2023. The FBI arrested a third ShinyHunters suspect as the group claims more than $70 million in extortion. And Binance lost $6.3 billion to Lazarus subgroup TraderTraitor, the largest crypto heist in history.
