Researchers Build Self-Replicating AI Worm That Operates Entirely on Local, Open-Weight Models
University of Toronto researchers have built and tested a proof-of-concept AI-driven computer worm that uses a locally hosted open-weight large language model to reason its way through a network, generate tailored attack strategies for each target it encounters, and replicate itself, all without human intervention and without touching a commercial AI service.The preprint, posted to…

Is Offensive Security Keeping Up with the Latest Cyber Attacks?
Security is not a point-in-time exercise. It’s a cycle of testing, fixing, and starting over. Organisations that treat it as anything less quickly fall behind. In the last decade, we’ve seen how offensive security practices such as penetration testing, combined with follow-up patching and mitigation strategies, have significantly strengthened defences. For instance, Active Directory hardening,…
