Breaking out: Can AI agents escape their sandboxes?

Container sandboxes are part of routine AI agent testing and deployment. Agents use them to run code, edit files, and interact with system resources without direct access to the host. The SandboxEscapeBench benchmark, developed by researchers at the University of Oxford and the AI Security Institute, evaluates whether an agent with shell access can escape a container and reach the host system. Evaluation architecture and scenario taxonomy (Source: AI Security Institute) What SandboxEscapeBench measures SandboxEscapeBench … More → The post Breaking out: Can AI agents escape their sandboxes? appeared first on Help Net Security.

Don’t count on government guidance after a smart home breach

People are filling their homes with internet-connected cameras, speakers, locks, and routers. When one of those devices is compromised, the next steps are often unclear. Researchers reviewing government cybersecurity advice in 11 countries found that most guidance focuses on prevention, leaving households with limited support after a breach. The analysis covers Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Prevention advice is widely available Government agencies … More → The post Don’t count on government guidance after a smart home breach appeared first on Help Net Security.

DShield (Cowrie) Honeypot Stats and When Sessions Disconnect, (Mon, Mar 30th)

A lot of the information seen on DShield honeypots [1] is repeated bot traffic, especially when looking at the Cowrie [2] telnet and SSH sessions. However, how long a session lasts, how many commands are run per session and what the last commands run before a session disconnects can vary. Some of this information could help indicate whether a session is automated and if a honeypot was fingerprinted. This information can also be used to find more interesting honeypot sessions.

World’s smallest QR code, smaller than bacteria, could store data for centuries

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s about durability. By engraving data into ultra-stable ceramic materials, the team has opened the door to storing information that could last for centuries or even millennia without needing power or maintenance.

Scientists just found a way to store massive data using light in 3 dimensions

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and polarization, rather than just on a surface. An AI model then reconstructs the data from light patterns, simplifying the process. This could pave the way for faster, denser, and more efficient data storage systems.

Week in review: NIST updates DNS security guidance, compromised LiteLLM PyPI packages

Here’s an overview of some of last week’s most interesting news, articles, interviews and videos: NIST updates its DNS security guidance for the first time in over a decade DNS infrastructure underpins nearly every network connection an organization makes, yet security configurations for it have gone largely unrevised at the federal guidance level for more than twelve years. NIST published SP 800-81r3, the Secure Domain Name System Deployment Guide, superseding a version that dates to … More → The post Week in review: NIST updates DNS security guidance, compromised LiteLLM PyPI packages appeared first on Help Net Security.
