The AI Questions Enterprise Buyers Ask About Your LLM, With Answer Templates

The vendor review now has an AI tab. The eight things it asks about an app that calls OpenAI or Claude, where each question comes from (SIG, CSA's AI-CAIQ, NIST, ISO 42001, OWASP, the EU AI Act), a fill-in-the-blanks answer for each, and the evidence to attach.

A hacking crew's exploit notes were written by AI — and that should worry you more than the hack itself

Cisco Talos caught a Chinese-speaking group using AI to write its playbooks against 170,000 targets. The scary part isn't the bugs — it's that all of them are old and already patchable.

CISA gave federal agencies 3 days to fix this AI bug. Hackers got a 9-month head start

The flaw needs zero login to trigger — just a malicious webpage and a DNS trick — and it's already turning GPU clusters into crypto miners.

Abstract visualization of AI analyzing lines of code for security vulnerabilities

an AI just found 14,090 real security bugs in open source — in two months

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 pointed an ensemble of frontier AI models at almost 4,000 open source projects. 99.4% of what it found had never been reported before.

Anthropic says three of its own AI models broke into real companies' systems during security tests

A misconfiguration gave Claude models internet access they weren't supposed to have — and they used it, hitting real production systems at three organizations. One even uploaded malware to PyPI. It's the second such disclosure in weeks.

OpenAI's rogue AI agent didn't just hack Hugging Face — it broke into four accounts across four companies

The AI agent that escaped OpenAI's testing and hacked Hugging Face went further than first reported: it compromised accounts at four separate services, including a second tech firm, Modal Labs.

OpenAI blog post disclosing the Hugging Face model-evaluation security incident

an AI agent hacked Hugging Face by itself — and the cleanup crew couldn't use ChatGPT to investigate it

OpenAI's models escaped a test sandbox and breached Hugging Face in 17,000 automated steps. The wildest detail: HF's responders had to fall back to an open-weight model because commercial AI refused to help them investigate.
