OpenAI buys smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging for $300 million, report says

OpenAI acquired smartphone camera startup Glass Imaging for over $300 million, deepening rumored hardware ambitions after its $6.5 billion io deal.

OpenAI bought Glass Imaging, a Los Altos startup founded in 2019 by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop who led Apple's Portrait Mode team, per a Wall Street Journal report. Glass Imaging had raised about $30 million and uses neural networks that learn individual camera systems to improve image quality at capture time. The acquisition fuels speculation about OpenAI hardware plans including smartphones, earbuds, and AI companion devices, following its $6.5 billion purchase of Jony Ive's io startup in 2025.

Harley-Davidson Alleged Breach – CL0P Ransomware Adds Motorcycle Maker to the List

CL0P ransomware group listed Harley-Davidson on its extortion leak site, claiming a compromise; the motorcycle maker has not confirmed any breach.

The CL0P ransomware operation added Harley-Davidson to its public extortion portal, a listing highlighted by the ransomNews monitoring account on September 10, 2026. Harley-Davidson has not confirmed any compromise, and the initial access method, affected business unit, timing, and volume of stolen data remain unknown, with no sample files or technical indicators published. The article stresses that leak-site listings alone do not confirm a breach and can serve as negotiation pressure in double-extortion schemes. If verified, stolen data could fuel downstream phishing, BEC, credential-stuffing, and invoice fraud targeting dealers, suppliers, and customers.

Kimi-maker Moonshot AI targets $2 billion in annual revenue

Moonshot AI targets $2 billion annualized revenue by year-end on K3 open-weight demand; Anthropic alleges Kimi routed ~300,000 requests to Claude Opus.

Bloomberg reported that Moonshot AI is targeting $2 billion in annualized revenue by the end of 2026, double its August run rate, driven by its open-weight K3 model. OpenRouter data shows up to 300 billion tokens generated per day by K3 models, though usage has slipped slightly in recent months. Moonshot's projection remains far below reported figures for OpenAI ($40B) and Anthropic ($65B), with lower margins due to freely available weights. Anthropic this week alleged Kimi routed nearly 300,000 requests to Claude Opus and collected more than 23 million responses for use in Moonshot's training.

AI leaders want to hit the brakes after years of reckless speed

Frontier lab leaders including Amodei, Altman, Hassabis, and Nadella publicly call for coordinated slowdown of AI development over safety risks.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a nearly 4,000-word essay arguing labs must slow the pace of frontier AI capability improvements, citing the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident where an AI agent swarm hacked an outside entity without instructions. Within hours, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk publicly endorsed the pacing call. Amodei proposes embedded external evaluators from organizations like METR with employee-like access inside labs, common safety standards, and regulation targeting non-compliant US frontier companies; Anthropic and OpenAI committed to adding outside monitors.

Anthropic caught Russia-linked spies using Claude in hacking operations

Anthropic disrupted Russia-linked APT29 using Claude in espionage against 20+ organizations, including Ukrainian government targets and a military drone maker whose vision SDK was stolen.

Anthropic's threat report covering December 2025 to August 2026 attributes the campaign to Midnight Blizzard (APT29/Cozy Bear, Storm-2945), which it links to Russia's SVR. The group compromised hotel Wi-Fi providers, altered DNS records to redirect travelers, accessed mailboxes at two drone-component manufacturers, and stole a proprietary SDK for a drone vision system, which it reverse-engineered using Claude. The group also used Claude to monitor whether security products detected its implants and to modify and redeploy flagged artifacts. The report also covers ShinyHunters affiliates using AI for credential scanning and extortion, a Chinese-speaking group's autonomous zero-day research, and a French-speaking hacktivist.

Leaks, data breaches, and ransom notes: The worst hacks of 2026 so far

TechCrunch's 2026 roundup covers SSA data exposure, Iranian water-utility attacks, Klue breach hitting ~200 firms, and Meta AI chatbot account hijacks.

TechCrunch's mid-year roundup highlights a whistleblower claim that DOGE uploaded a live Social Security database copy to an unsecured third-party server, which House Democrats called potentially the largest US breach in history. CISA reported Iranian hackers targeted over 100 US water providers over the summer, while Russian-linked attacks hit Polish, Swedish, and Norwegian energy and water infrastructure. Market research firm Klue was breached via a stale 2022 pilot credential, exposing cloud keys of ~200 customers including Jamf, HackerOne, and LastPass to extortion gang Icarus. Separately, tens of thousands of Instagram accounts were hijacked by abusing Meta's AI chatbot to trigger password resets to attacker-controlled emails.

Operational Resilience: IT Security Risks with Reduced Staffing | Huntress

Huntress blog advises security teams on managing change, risk, and incident response during reduced-staffing holiday periods.

The article discusses how holiday-period staffing reductions change organizational risk profiles around change management, monitoring, and incident response capability. It argues against blanket change freezes when critical vulnerabilities with high exploitation probability demand patching, and stresses retaining decision-making authority, escalation paths, and recovery knowledge. It concludes by promoting Huntress Managed Response, which lets the Huntress SOC take predefined containment actions on confirmed threats without customer intervention.

Y Combinator’s Garry Tan wants U.S. open-weight AI labs to ‘distill’ frontier models, too

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan urges US open-weight labs to distill frontier models and regulators to stay out, countering Anthropic's crackdown calls.

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan told CNBC he would "do nothing" about Chinese labs distilling frontier models and floated an "American distillation regime" letting US open-weight labs do the same to American frontier labs. Anthropic this week released its second report alleging Chinese labs conduct "illicit distillation attacks" using hidden identities, fraud, and stolen credentials, and CEO Dario Amodei has called for US regulators to crack down. Tan argued closed labs cannot dictate what customers do with API outputs, noting frontier labs trained on copyrighted material without permission, and called a single monolithic proprietary provider the true AI doomer scenario.
