SearchLeak shows why prompt injection hurts more in enterprise AI than in chat

The SearchLeak vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise Search could let attackers steal emails, documents or 2FA codes after a user clicked a crafted link, according to Varonis and Ars Technica.

The Mythos suspicion turns export control into an access control problem

The Verge, citing Semafor, says the White House restricted exports of Anthropic Mythos partly over suspicions that a China linked group had access to it. For AI labs, the warning is blunt: frontier model security is not just about public APIs, but every path to access.

AI film at Tribeca points to fewer prompts and more custom production pipeline

Niteshift raises $7 million to make AI coding agents less sticky

Niteshift, founded by former Datadog engineers, raised a $7 million seed round led by Greylock and is selling infrastructure for AI coding agents. Its bet is not another autocomplete, but the ability to switch between GPT, Claude and open source models when the model provider becomes a competitor.
