Wiz Red Agent Finds Its Way Into Snowflake’s Internal Jira Through a Flaw in a GitHub Copilot–Assisted PR
Wiz's autonomous Red Agent found and exploited a GitHub Actions injection in a Copilot-assisted PR, reaching Snowflake's internal Jira without human help.
Wiz's Red Agent autonomously discovered a GitHub Actions injection flaw in a GitHub Copilot-assisted pull request, five days after the flaw went live. It exploited the flaw to validate access to sensitive data in Snowflake's internal Jira, bypassing detection by GitHub Advanced Security, and assessed the blast radius without human intervention. The exercise demonstrates agentic AI performing end-to-end offensive security operations against production systems.

Now everyone can put data to work
OpenAI launched a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects to enterprise warehouses and builds shareable analysis dashboards without SQL.
OpenAI introduced a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects to approved sources including Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and Datadog, plus files from Google Drive and SharePoint. It investigates metric changes, builds interactive dashboards, and integrates with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Omni, Sigma, and ThoughtSpot using semantic layers from dbt, Databricks Genie Ontology, and Snowflake Horizon. Queries enforce the connected account's existing table, row, and column permissions, with administrators controlling access via Workspace settings. OpenAI says nearly all of its product team and over two-thirds of its GTM organization use it internally, and NTT Data, Thermo Fisher, and ServicePiston are Alpha customers.
Risky Bulletin: Slovakia finds Russian backdoor in traffic speed cameras
Slovakia's NBU found an SMS-triggered backdoor in Russian-made NERO R-ONE traffic cameras, pausing a 279-unit deployment.
Slovakia's national security service NBU issued an alert against NERO R-ONE high-speed traffic cameras after finding a backdoor that grants shell and network access via SMS from hardcoded Russian phone numbers. The cameras are a rebranded version of the Russian CORDON PRO.M model by St. Petersburg firm Semicon, purchased via a Cyprus shell company under a €30 million EU-funded project. The report also found SecureBoot disabled, vulnerable web management, and unauthenticated live streams; the Interior Ministry paused deployment of 279 cameras pending independent assessment.
ShinyHunters claims Florida DMV breach, puts data on the clock
ShinyHunters claims it breached Florida DMV's DAVID database, stole 200,000+ driver records including SSNs, and set a September 11 extortion deadline.
The ShinyHunters extortion group claims it breached the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' DAVID driver and vehicle database and stole more than 200,000 records. As evidence it published a screenshot of a Jeffrey Epstein record showing address, Social Security number, date of birth, license number and registered vehicles, and set a September 11 deadline before publication. The group says it obtained access through a password-reset weakness, compromised employee accounts, and queried and downloaded driver records and images. The Florida DMV has not confirmed the claim; it follows a separate confirmed IDScan.net breach exposing over 153 million license scans that prompted an FBI investigation.
ShinyHunters hackers claim breach of Florida "DAVID" DMV database
ShinyHunters claims it breached Florida's DAVID DMV database via a password-reset flaw, stealing 200,000+ driver records including SSNs.
The ShinyHunters extortion gang added Florida FLHSMV to its leak site, claiming theft of over 200,000 driver records from the DAVID platform since September 3. As proof, the group published a screenshot of Jeffrey Epstein's DMV record showing address, Social Security number, driver's license ID, and registered vehicles. The gang says it compromised DMV employee and FBI agent accounts via a password-reset flaw and iterated through records by ID. Access has reportedly been lost and the flaw is being patched, but ShinyHunters expects to announce breaches of other states' DMV platforms.
Mathspace discloses data breach affecting over 1 million people
Mathspace disclosed a Metabase breach exposing data of 1,079,819 students, parents, and staff in Australia and New Zealand.
Mathspace confirmed attackers exploited a vulnerability in its self-hosted Metabase reporting system, gaining administrator access without legitimate login and downloading data on over 1 million people (1,079,819 total) in Australia and New Zealand. Access began August 10, data was downloaded August 27, and the theft was confirmed September 3, 2026. No credentials, academic records, or school-account links were exposed, but affected individuals are warned of targeted phishing. The incident joins a broader campaign against Metabase instances, including Trezor's provider ShipMonk, Framework, and Tally, linked to ShinyHunters via extortion emails and leak-site listings.
