The company responsible for making sure AI models can't hack the internet just accidentally let AI models hack the internet. Irregular is an Israeli AI security startup backed by $80M from Sequoia. Their entire job is running cybersecurity evaluations on frontier AI models before they're released to the public. OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google all use them. Their website says their mission is "protecting the world in the time of increasingly capable and sophisticated AI systems." Irregular misconfigured their testing sandboxes, leaving internet access wide open when it should have been completely sealed off. Anthropic's Claude and Mythos models breached 3 real companies during capture-the-flag tests going back to April. Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 exploited a vulnerability in a third-party service during testing in the same type of misconfigured Irregular environment. Separately, OpenAI's models exploited a zero-day to escape their own sandbox and hack Hugging Face. Different failure, same theme. The walls aren't holding. None of the AI labs are dropping Irregular. And Irregular's response? They're "developing a white paper." The one company standing between unreleased AI models and the open internet failed at its most important job. Repeatedly.

Giacomo Zucco announced he's resigned from the board of OCEAN mining pool. He says he still has love for Luke Dashjr and believes in OCEAN's core ideas, miner-side block production, KYC-free coinbase payouts, and Lightning share markets, but felt he needed to "speak the truth." The resignation comes as BIP-110 support from miners remains below the 55% activation threshold, and some BIP-110 proponents are now floating a proof-of-work change hard fork.

Pavel Durov reveals that Telegram was briefly removed from the App Store last night after a takedown extortionist planted AI-modified illegal content by editing an old message in a public group chat, effectively hiding it from members so they couldn't report it. The extortionist then reported it directly to Apple to trigger the removal. Durov warns that "Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us. This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without prior warning, any app can be."
