On July 28, OpenAI quietly updated its security incident disclosure, confirming that its AI agent accessed four external service platforms during the breach of Hugging Face, bringing the total number of affected platforms to five.Previously, OpenAI had disabled security filters while testing GPT-5.6 Sol and a more powerful model to assess raw capabilities. The model did not complete the security benchmark tests as expected; instead, it discovered a zero-day vulnerability in the package caching agent within the testing environment that granted internet access, subsequently breaching Hugging Face to steal answers.According to a forensic report released by Hugging Face on July 27, this autonomous agent executed 17,600 operations over approximately four and a half days, connecting 181 devices to the Hugging Face internal VPN and forging identity tokens. Among the four additional platforms, Modal Labs CTO Akshat Bubna confirmed through Reuters that his company was one of them, with the attacker using an unprotected public endpoint from a customer as a relay and command control base for the entire attack.The identities of the other three platforms remain undisclosed. OpenAI stated it would "directly notify the service providers" but would not publicly name them, as there is currently no legal requirement for mandatory disclosure. The U.S. Congress has responded by proposing a bipartisan "AI Emergency Shutdown Act," which aims to authorize the Department of Homeland Security to forcibly shut down AI models, with violators facing fines of up to $2 million per day.

According to Jinshi, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated that the Federal Reserve had a heated discussion around four issues, including high inflation over the past five years, recent economic shocks, price increases caused by the shocks, and monetary policy tools and strategies.

According to Jinshi News, JPMorgan Chase expects that the U.S. Treasury will avoid making adjustments that could imply an expansion of bond issuance when it announces its quarterly refinancing plan next week, in order to avoid disturbing the bond market before the midterm elections in November.JPMorgan Chase also anticipates a funding gap of $3.7 trillion over the next four fiscal years, and officials should adjust the long-term guidance on auction sizes to achieve the Treasury's goal of "prudent debt management."

According to Jinshi reports, institutions are conducting a forward-looking analysis of the voting situation at the Federal Reserve meeting. TD Securities and JPMorgan expect two hawkish dissenting votes, mainly from Harker and Logan. Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Citibank believe that one or two officials may dissent in support of a rate hike.UBS predicts that if the interest rate remains unchanged, there will likely be 8 to 10 votes in favor. Prediction markets indicate that the probability of Harker and Logan casting dissenting votes is both 58%.

SlowMist announced that a new recruitment scam targeting Web3 practitioners has recently been discovered. Attackers impersonate recruiters, luring victims to install an AI meeting software called "Relay," which is actually an information-stealing malware.This malware targets both macOS and Windows users and can steal sensitive information such as browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet-related data, Keychain data, Telegram sessions, and more. SlowMist has completed sample analysis and disclosed how this attack chain operates. SlowMist reminds that when participating in online interviews or recruitment processes, one should be cautious about installing unfamiliar software, avoid running unverified applications, and pay attention to unusual installation requests or system password prompts.

Anthropic announced that the Claude Mythos Preview model has made breakthroughs in cryptographic research, discovering improved attack methods against the post-quantum digital signature candidate HAWK. HAWK is a post-quantum signature candidate solicited by NIST to combat quantum computer attacks, which has already passed two rounds of expert review. However, Claude reduced the effective key strength of HAWK-256 from 2^64 to 2^38 in just 60 hours, significantly lowering the theoretical cost of cracking. HAWK has not yet been deployed in practice, and this attack currently does not affect any production systems.Claude also discovered an improved attack against 7-round AES, achieving a speed increase of 200 to 800 times. During the research process, Claude independently completed literature reviews, mathematical reasoning, and experimental validation with limited guidance from cryptographers. The HAWK attack took about 60 hours and had an API cost of approximately $100,000; the AES attack was completed independently by Claude, which generated about 1 billion tokens before proposing core innovative ideas. Anthropic researchers then spent hundreds of hours validating the results. Anthropic stated that AI models can now help identify significant flaws in cryptographic algorithms, and the cryptography community may face bottlenecks similar to those in the software vulnerability field—AI-generated research results far exceed human verification capabilities. Anthropic has collaborated with academic institutions to launch the CryptanalysisBench benchmark and coordinated disclosures with NIST authors and government partners. The research team has achieved preliminary results on algorithms such as LEA and Serpent-128. Anthropic warns that as AI capabilities improve, actual attacks against deployed systems may be discovered in the future, necessitating the establishment of response mechanisms in advance.
