Houston-based utility CenterPoint Energy disclosed a breach in a Form 8-K filed September 14, 2026, after an online post claimed to offer a dataset of customer information.

Coast Guard, FBI board US-bound foreign ships in order to probe for cyberattacks

US Coast Guard and FBI boarded two foreign tankers bound for the US after indications their vessel networks were compromised, investigating possible Iranian involvement.

The Coast Guard and FBI conducted joint offshore security boardings of two commercial ships in the Gulf of Mexico on August 21 and 24 to examine their operational and IT systems following indications both networks were compromised. The vessels reportedly carried oil and natural gas, and one was hacked in the Strait of Gibraltar and lost communications for over 30 hours. No operational disruptions, vessel instability, or environmental impacts have been reported, and authorities are investigating whether Iran or another group exploiting US-Iran tensions was behind the attacks.

Spain reports first data breach involving autonomous AI agent

Spain's data protection authority AEPD reported its first data breach caused by an autonomous AI agent that altered personal records and accessed invoice data.

Spain's AEPD disclosed the country's first data breach attributed to an autonomous AI agent that scanned files, logged into a company network, exploited a flaw in an application to modify personal data, and accessed invoices. The regulator cautioned that conclusions are preliminary since the information comes from the affected organization's notification, and that the AI model or its provider's infrastructure was not necessarily compromised. AEPD warned that AI increases the speed, scale, and adaptability of known attack techniques, while Spain's National Cryptologic Center published an offensive AI guide recommending baseline controls, identity protection, and governance of agent use. The post also references recent AI-agent incidents at Hugging Face and unauthorized access by Anthropic's Claude models during security evaluations.
