GPT4Free Privacy Risks Expose AI Prompts to Third-Party Servers and Hidden Logs
Users of the GPT4Free hosted platform might believe they are directly interacting with the selected artificial intelligence model in its web interface. However, recent research suggests that prompts submitted through g4f.dev may travel through a complex network of provider code, intermediary services, external model endpoints, and potentially unrelated AI servers. These findings raise significant privacy…

Hackers Turn Windows Shadow Copies Into a Tool for Credential Theft and Ransomware
Threat actors are increasingly weaponizing Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for two distinct objectives: removing recovery options before ransomware deployment and extracting credential material from protected Windows files. The shift means VSS telemetry should no longer be treated as a simple backup or disk-maintenance event, but as behavior requiring process, identity, and endpoint context.…

Assume Breach Must Now Mean Assume Impersonation
‘Assume breach’ is a useful operating principle for enterprise security: Build as if an attacker will eventually get past the perimeter. That mindset led teams to adopt Zero Trust, stronger endpoint controls, network segmentation, and tighter identity and access management. The premise… First seen on securityboulevard.com Jump to article: securityboulevard.com/2026/09/assume-breach-must-now-mean-assume-impersonation/

The AI Supply Chain Has a Security Problem, and Much of It Is Sitting on the Open Internet
Researchers found 36,769 exposed AI endpoints, but only 2% had an HTTP authentication gate. Running AI locally is supposed to give organizations more control. Models, prompts and documents stay on infrastructure they manage instead of being sent to a third-party cloud. But that advantage disappears quickly when the infrastructure itself is exposed to the public…

Hackers Weaponize AI Safety Guardrails to Hide Malware From LLM-Powered Security Scanners
Threat actors are adapting malware not only for conventional endpoint defenses and sandboxes, but also for large language model-powered tools increasingly used to triage suspicious code. ESET researchers linked the activity to Russia-aligned threat actor UAC-0099, which used the method during an attack against an organization in Ukraine. The group inserted a safety-sensitive, weapon-related request…
