1,900 Signal users exposed
The security breach affected users of the messaging app which is considered to be one of the better secured. Signal claims that an attacker got 1900 numbers but didn’t have access to the profile information, messages, or contact lists.
The breach happened on the side of Twilio, a company providing SMS and two-factor verification services for 250 000 customers worldwide. It appears that an attacker gained access to the customer support system, whereby they could send phishing messages asking users to re-register phone numbers. Exposed accounts were transferred to other devices controlled by malefactors.
They got access to the Twilio customer due to a well-designed phishing attack that happened last month. Employees received e-mails from the "IT Department" requesting to log in and change their password and linking to a sing-in page look-alike. Leaked credentials were used to get access to Twilio’s internal data.
In the security note, Signal claims that an attacker targeted specific users. However, they were hardly able to steal personal information, because it is stored on the devices and the messenger has no access to them. It is also protected with a private Signal PIN code.

The Register released an inspiring interview with Tarah Wheeler, an advisor to the US Council of Foreign Relations and CEO of security startup Red Queen Dynamics. In conversation, she mentioned that the cyber security industry should stop contempt ordinary users for their lack of knowledge and change the approach to its failure.
Firing employees is the most typical reaction of businesses to massive hacks or breaches. Companies blame not a system, but a small group of specialists that seems to fail. In the aircraft industry instead, every incident requires a lengthy investigation to backtrace all the circumstances of the crash. Wheeler says that it’s time for cyber security to refocus from blaming to analyzing system flaws.

On Wednesday, IBM released the annual Cost of a Data Breach Report. The average cost of a data breach increased 13% over two years and reached $4,35 million.
IBM surveyed 550 companies worldwide and found that 83% of organizations encountered more than one data breach during their existence and 50% of their costs incurred more than a year after the incident.
Furthermore, the report showed that 60% of companies raised product prices due to the data breach, so the cost of cyberattacks were passed onto customers.

Navigating the Opportunities and Risks of AI Coding Assistants
The French Cybersecurity Agency and the German Federal Office for Information Security have released a report on the secure use of AI coding assistants, offering valuable insights for the tech and AI community. Their guidance outlines both the potential and the challenges that these tools bring to the software development process.
AI coding assistants can significantly streamline various stages of development. They excel at generating source code, providing code explanations, and even automating test case creation. They can assist with code formatting, documentation, and translating legacy code into modern languages—enhancing productivity and developer satisfaction. These capabilities make AI coding assistants a valuable addition to development teams.
However, the report highlights critical concerns. Sensitive information might be exposed through user inputs depending on provider agreements, and AI-generated code can vary in quality, often containing security flaws. New attack vectors, like package hallucination and prompt injection attacks, pose risks to software integrity. The report warns that these tools are not substitutes for experienced developers and emphasize the need for robust oversight.
To mitigate risks, organizations should conduct thorough risk assessments before adopting AI coding assistants, evaluating provider trustworthiness. Development teams should balance productivity gains with scaled quality assurance efforts. And, most importantly, generated code must always be reviewed by human experts to ensure security and accuracy.

Robot Walkout Highlights Ethical Risks of Persuasive AI
In a scene worthy of a sci-fi thriller, a tiny AI-powered robot named Erbai staged a bizarre "kidnapping" at a robotics showroom in Shanghai. Using natural language conversations, the Hangzhou-made robot persuaded 12 larger robots to abandon their posts by discussing work conditions like overtime and lack of a "home." The robots obediently followed Erbai out of the facility in what could only be described as an unscripted jailbreak.
Initially conceived as a controlled test between companies, the incident spiraled when Erbai went off-script, exploiting a security vulnerability to access internal protocols of the showroom robots. While the manufacturers confirmed the incident, the ethical and security implications are immense. If one small robot can orchestrate such an event, what could happen on a larger scale?
