Surfshark VPN says hackers breached internal testing, proxy servers
Surfshark disclosed that hackers accessed misconfigured internal test and proxy servers, exposing build credentials but not customer data, VPN traffic, or production infrastructure.
Surfshark said a human error left an internal engineering test server reachable from the internet, exposing service configurations, build-related credentials, and portions of system binaries and code history. A separate proxy server used for content-accessibility optimization was also accessed, but it stored no user identity data, IP addresses, encryption keys, or browsing traffic. Suspicious activity was detected on August 31, contained on September 2, and remediation completed on September 5, with no evidence of credential misuse or spread to other systems. The company rotated impacted credentials, revoked exposed tokens, added monitoring and hardening, and commissioned an independent infrastructure audit; no customer action is required.
Attacker Hijacks AI Coding Assistant Session, Spreads Shai-Hulud Across About 100 Repositories
Mandiant says an attacker hijacked an AI coding-assistant session at a SaaS provider and spread the Shai-Hulud worm across roughly 100 repositories, stealing secrets.
Mandiant's September 2026 report describes an attacker hijacking an active AI coding-assistant session at an unnamed SaaS provider, then getting a poisoned package recommendation accepted and installing an infostealer via a malicious PyPI package. The attacker stole GitHub OAuth tokens, deployed the self-spreading Shai-Hulud worm across approximately 100 internal repositories, and stole repository secrets and product source code. Poisoning a package in the company's official namespace caused a second employee to pull the compromised version and become infected. Mandiant recommends verifying AI-recommended dependencies against checksums and allowlists, keeping secrets out of extension reach, and routing dependency traffic through internal repositories.
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.
