Suno launches v6 music models built with Warner, BMG, and Believe

Suno launches v6, v6-wild, and free v6-mini music models co-developed with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, retiring all older models.

Suno's flagship v6 serves Pro and Premier subscribers, v6-wild targets experimentation, and v6-mini is free; all three understand vocals, instrumentation, structure, mood, and multimodal inputs, with text-based editing of individual song sections. The models were built with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe following Warner's November 2025 licensing settlement, while Universal and Sony continue litigating and a Munich court found v3.5 and v4 infringed six works. Suno reports more than 100 million users, over two million paying subscribers, and $300 million ARR after raising $400 million at a $5.4 billion valuation in June.

Silver Fox Targets Japanese Manufacturer with 3

Chinese group Silver Fox used new vulnerable drivers and DLL side-loading to deploy ValleyRAT at a Japanese industrial manufacturer.

Cato Networks detailed a Silver Fox campaign against a Japanese industrial manufacturing organization combining new vulnerable-driver abuse (BootRepair.sys and EnPortv.sys alongside wsftprm.sys), DLL side-loading via Zeon Corporation PDF binaries, and NTDLL unhooking to deliver ValleyRAT (Winos 4.0), a Gh0st RAT variant. The chain starts with an invoice-themed phishing lure hosting attacker-controlled content on legitimate QQ and Tencent Cloud services. Shellcode is injected into svchost.exe via thread-context hijacking, and a dual watchdog design pairs payload monitoring with a scheduled-task batch script for persistence. A separate 180-day VirusTotal retrohunt found 146 Atlas RAT samples across six PDB builds, though the Silver Fox link remains circumstantial.

Suno releases its first AI music model made with record industry help

Suno released its v6 music model family (v6, v6-wild, v6-mini), the first trained with licensed data from Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe.

Suno's v6 comes in three variants: v6, the more unpredictable v6-wild, and resource-light v6-mini offered free to all users. The model was trained from the ground up on a new dataset including licensed content from Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, plus user data, though it is unclear if all dubiously obtained content was excluded. v6 shows dramatically improved genre fidelity, adds plain-language chat editing of individual song elements, multi-element mashups, and prompts based on images, video, or audio. The Verge notes it still cannot produce intentional imperfections like off-key vocals, and v6 starts rolling out now with older models eventually retired.

Patch Tuesday to Pentest Wednesday: How an Equipment Rental Company Is Turning Continuous Testing Into Continuous Exposure Management

An equipment rental company uses Horizon3 NodeZero for continuous exposure management, surfacing an SSH key exposure in eight hours versus annual pentesting.

The company moved from periodic penetration testing to continuous exposure management using the NodeZero Proactive Security Platform, feeding telemetry into a Splunk-based CTEM pipeline via Horizon3 APIs. NodeZero exposed SSH RSA key pairs from a PHP web server change about eight hours after introduction and found more findings in 12 hours than a third-party engagement found in roughly 30 days. An Active Directory password audit of 15,000 passwords found about 300 identical or similar compromised passwords, driving a banned-password list, 12-character minimums, service desk changes, and self-service reset rollout; users with similar passwords later dropped from 880 to 209. NodeZero also validated a suspected Cisco vulnerability as exploitable.

m-a-p/YuE2-3B — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

M-A-P released YuE2-3B, an open music generation model that outperforms Suno v5 on WildSongBench and runs locally on a 24GB GPU.

The M-A-P (multimodal-art-projection) team released YuE2-3B, an open-weights music generation model that turns lyrics and a style prompt into full songs with vocals and accompaniment. It uses an AR-NAR Mixture-of-Transformers backbone with symbolic planning and flow matching through a VAE, and supports editable scores (melody and chords, including ABC notation) plus agentic editing workflows. On 192 WildSongBench prompts it reports a SongBench average of 6.9632 (best-of-8) versus 6.8721 for Suno v5, claimed as state of the art among evaluated open and proprietary models. It runs 48 kHz stereo inference locally on a single 24GB NVIDIA GPU without quantization, with companion releases including YuE2-Vae, MERT-v2 encoders, the WildSongBench dataset, and SheetSage2.

Claude Mythos Executes End-to-End Intrusion From Initial Access to Full Domain Compromise

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, its most cyber-capable model, autonomously completed an end-to-end enterprise intrusion simulation in restricted-access testing.

Anthropic's April 2026 system card describes Claude Mythos Preview as the first model to solve a private cyber range end to end and finish a corporate-network attack simulation an expert would need 10+ hours to complete. It scored 100% pass@1 on a 35-challenge Cybench subset and 0.83 on CyberGym versus 0.67 for Claude Opus 4.6. The model is limited to vetted partners under Project Glasswing; it failed an OT cyber range and could not find novel exploits in a fully patched sandbox.

Roland is getting into generative AI music with Melody Flip

Roland launched Melody Flip, a DAW plugin that generates genre-themed MIDI loops rather than complete songs like Suno or Udio.

Roland's Melody Flip is a DAW plug-in offering around 250 genre-based 'Palettes' for generating melodies, chord progressions, basslines, and drum patterns, either from scratch or derived from a reference track. Users can control genre, note density, BPM, and key but cannot use text prompts, and outputs are simple loops with General MIDI-style tones intended for MIDI export into a DAW. The launch follows well-received hardware releases like the SH-4d, Gaia 2, and TR-1000, though music-community sentiment toward generative AI may limit goodwill.

27.5KB language-agnostic WebGPU syntax highlighter

A developer released gpu-lexer, a 27.5KB language-agnostic syntax highlighter that uses a tiny WebGPU model to label code tokens in the browser.

gpu-lexer splits source into words, whitespace, and symbols, then a small WebGPU model uses local and whole-file context to assign nine token classes, working on languages never seen in training. On held-out files, 12.57% of token labels differ from Shiki, though this measures agreement with Shiki rather than objective correctness. In benchmarks against Shiki 4.4.3, Prism.js, Highlight.js, Sugar High, and Starry Night, it highlighted 10 concatenated copies of three.min.js (5.56M characters) about 10x faster on an Apple M4 Pro in Chrome 152. The author frames it as an experiment, not a grammar-equivalent highlighter.

Elevenlabs makes Music v2.5 available via app and API with free and pro tier options

ElevenLabs releases Music v2.5 via app and API, claiming fuller, more natural songs preferred over v2 in blind listening tests.

ElevenLabs launched Music v2.5 for ElevenMusic, reporting that listeners preferred it in a blind test across 47,885 comparison pairs, especially for R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rock, and orchestral tracks. The free tier offers five lossless downloads per day and Pro includes 400 per month, with attribution required on free and commercial use restricted by industry. Tracks based on other artists' songs are blocked, and v2 remains available alongside the API. ElevenLabs says existing Music models were trained on 'licensed stems and music,' distinguishing it from competitor Suno, which faces lawsuits for training on copyrighted content; a Universal Music Group licensing deal covers only future separate products.

AI adoption brings new security headaches for already stretched CISOs

Proofpoint's 2026 Voice of the CISO report finds 79% of CISOs must manage AI-related risks without added resources or expertise.

Proofpoint's 2026 Voice of the CISO report says AI governance is expanding CISO responsibilities faster than resources, with 79% expected to manage AI-related risks without proportional support. Seventy-eight percent of CISOs consider GenAI a security risk, chiefly customer data loss through public AI platforms, and 61% expect a targeted attack within 12 months, down from 76% in 2025. Human risk remains the top vulnerability for 79% of respondents, and 93% of organizations with material data loss said departing employees played a role. Cloud account takeover now tops perceived threats, while email fraud, ransomware and malware declined in the rankings.

What your vendor says about PQC tells you if they are ready

Allot CTO outlines a telecom post-quantum migration playbook: inventory crypto, deploy hybrid ML-KEM on TLS first, and avoid missed interfaces.

Dr. Yaakov Stein, VP CTO of Allot, explains how mobile operators should triage post-quantum migration by data shelf life, protecting subscriber identity mappings, billing records, and call metadata that stay sensitive for years. He recommends starting with a comprehensive crypto inventory, then hybrid ML-KEM key exchange on TLS-protected 5G SBA and management interfaces, followed by IPsec backhaul and roaming links. Stein warns that migrations most often fail operationally through missed legacy interfaces such as SSH, RADIUS, or forgotten load balancers, and cites the early Kyber multi-packet TLS client hello issue as an example of middlebox incompatibility.

Stop playing with the CISO role. Fix cybersecurity leadership

Op-ed argues the CISO role is overloaded and advocates elevating a business-first Chief Security Officer above it.

The author contends that business-alignment failures in cybersecurity are structural rather than communication problems, with CISOs expected to act simultaneously as technologists, strategists, risk executives, and board advisers. The piece proposes a distinct Chief Security Officer role focused on enterprise protection, business continuity, and cross-functional decision authority, with the CISO retaining technical cybersecurity responsibility and potentially reporting to the CSO. It argues this model would give executive ownership of business protection while preserving technical depth.
