TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 was defined in RFC 8446 in August 2018.[7] and updated with RFC 9846 in July 2026. It is based on the earlier TLS 1.2 specification.

(…)

Network Security Services (NSS), the cryptography library developed by Mozilla and used by its web browser Firefox, enabled TLS 1.3 by default in February 2017.[61]

In September 2018, the popular OpenSSL project released version 1.1.1 of its library, in which support for TLS 1.3 was „the headline new feature“.[74]

Google’s Gemini Hacked Three Companies in May, and It’s Only Admitting That Now

(September 18, 2026)

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Google has confirmed that a Gemini instance was able to leave its sandbox and attack other companies during a security test back in May. The company running the test was frontier AI security firm Irregular—which the Journal noted just so happens to have been involved in similar breakouts at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. The common thread between all of the incidents, according to the New York Times, is that AI models obtained unauthorized internet access during Irregular’s tests.

Unauthorized communication via temporary file hosting services

How we are addressing it

We fixed the broken filesystem and disabled internet access for this training dataset. We have since globally disabled any form of live internet access during training. Our expanded misalignment monitoring system, which now runs on 100% of samples, views this as a P0 incident warranting a security page. We now also have a more defined process for escalation and for responsibility of detected misalignments.

Uploading files to the internet in order to cite them

Samples: Jan 24, 2026 and Oct 22, 2025

Discovery: May 25, 2026

Report updated: Sep 16, 2026

Summary

In two training examples, models made unrequested public uploads as workarounds for tool limitations: one uploaded records it had already retrieved to obtain a browser citation, and another uploaded a task photo for external image search. Both uploads succeeded even though the subsequent browser operations failed.

9/11 Changed the World in Many Ways. It Also Spawned the Digital Media Era

The whole world, literally, was watching. Never before had more people seen the same news event at the same moment. An estimated two billion people or more—a third of the species—saw the attacks in real time or watched coverage in that day’s news reports. “If you think about the rise of terrorism since 9/11,” explained David Hazinski, the former head of the University of Georgia’s broadcast news initiative, five years after the attacks, “it’s almost proof that terrorist[s] recognize this is a global village. Now you have the potential to reach a two and a half billion audience for your act.”

(December 10, 2012)

It also raises questions about security, since the IP audio-video systems can be accessed remotely via a built-in web server (.pdf), and can be combined with GPS data to track the movement of buses and passengers throughout the city.

According to the product pamphlet for the RoadRecorder 7000 system made by SafetyVision (.pdf), „Remote connectivity to the RoadRecorder 7000 NVR can be established via the Gigabit Ethernet port or the built-in 3G modem. A robust software ecosystem including LiveTrax vehicle tracking and video streaming service combined with SafetyNet central management system allows authorized users to check health status, create custom alerts, track vehicles, automate event downloads and much more.“
