The Technical University of Denmark is no longer just counting records. Three days after disclosing that its DTUBasen identity database may have exposed data tied to up to 200,000 current and former users, DTU has handed the case to Denmark’s data protection authority and its national cybercrime police unit, turning a breach disclosure into a…
A new China-nexus cyber espionage group known as TA419 has been attributed to multiple credential phishing campaigns targeting artificial intelligence (AI) experts working for U.S. think tanks, universities, and legal sector organizations.

David Robinson used to write the safety reports that accompanied every major model release at OpenAI. This week, he resigned from his position and is now speaking out in an editorial in The Atlantic.

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity the same open-ended research question on October 03, 2026, and you will get three different experiences before you see a single word of the answer.
