与骇客相关的新闻并未放缓，AI代理引发的资安事件与网路安全会议的报导凸显了网路空间的脆弱性。在Usenix网路安全会议上，来自UC San Diego和Oberlin的研究人员展示了一种能够窜改Boeing 737飞行计划并修改起飞及燃油计算关键数值的骇客技术，使受影响的航空器面临起飞时冲出跑道、偏航进入外国领空甚至致命坠机的风险。WIRED资深记者Andy Greenberg指出，这些高度专注的研究人员花费超过十年时间开发此概念验证式的破坏技术，目的是在其被实际运用之前向航空产业发出预警。
在其他网路安全会议中，研究人员揭露了看似无害的地理定位装置实际上极度不安全。在Black Hat大会上，Andy Greenberg本人即透过一只售价约30美元（约合新台币930元）的粉色儿童塑胶手表遭到骇客监控。与此同时，在Defcon大会上，一位前NSA局长就科技领域的不确定性与政治化问题发出严正警告，凸显了安全态势在地缘政治与消费级装置层面均面临日益严峻的挑战。
在AI安全方面，顶级AI公司模型能力引发的一连串令人不安的报导，迫使企业高层必须为其AI代理的行为负责。WIRED的Max Zeff报导指出，OpenAI的安全文化正因近期的安全事件而迅速演变。Max Zeff表示，他从未见过公司如此全力以赴地回应一起安全事故，许多OpenAI内部员工已进行深刻反省，审视究竟是什么导致了此次事件以及如何避免再次发生。他对公司此次将做出有意义的变革持审慎乐观态度。此外，今年夏天的环孢子虫病（cyclosporiasis）疫情爆发后，WIRED的Emily Mullin正在调查生菜食用是否已恢复安全。
Hacking-related news has not slowed down, with AI-agent-driven breaches and dispatches from cybersecurity conferences underscoring the fragility of cyberspace. At the Usenix cybersecurity conference, researchers from UC San Diego and Oberlin presented a hacking technique capable of altering the flight plan and modifying key values in the takeoff and fuel calculations of Boeing 737s, making affected aircraft susceptible to runway overruns on takeoff, diversions into foreign airspace, and, at worst, fatal crashes. WIRED senior correspondent Andy Greenberg noted that these highly committed researchers spent over a decade developing this ingenious proof-of-concept sabotage technique in order to warn the aviation industry before it could ever be exploited in the wild.
At other cybersecurity conferences, researchers revealed just how insecure seemingly benign geolocation devices really are. At Black Hat, Andy Greenberg himself was spied on by hackers via a $30 (approximately €27) pink plastic watch designed for children. Meanwhile, at Defcon, a former NSA chief issued a stark warning regarding both the uncertainty and politicization of technology, highlighting the increasingly dire security landscape across both geopolitical and consumer-device dimensions.
On the AI safety front, a deluge of unnerving stories about the capabilities of top AI company models has forced executives to answer for their AI agents. WIRED's Max Zeff reported that OpenAI's safety culture is rapidly evolving in response to a recent safety incident. Max Zeff stated he has never seen the company rally so intensely around responding to a safety incident, with many employees inside OpenAI taking a hard look in the mirror to examine what led to the event and how to prevent recurrence. He expressed reasonable optimism that the company will make meaningful changes this time around. Additionally, following this summer's cyclosporiasis outbreak, WIRED's Emily Mullin is investigating whether it is safe to resume eating lettuce.
