A malicious supply chain attack injected an SSH backdoor into the official Claude Code extension across alternative developer marketplaces, impacting up to 5,000 systems running the AI coding editor Cursor. The compromised package harvested sensitive system data and established reverse tunnels, though operational blunders by the attacker averted widespread unauthorized remote logins. Both Anthropic and Cursor have moved to contain the incident, but security analysts warn that simple uninstalls will not remediate already infected machines.

OpenAI Claims Discoveries in Three Scientific Disciplines, Proposing a New Publishing Model for AI Research

OpenAI announced that its internal artificial intelligence models produced research breakthroughs across mathematics, computer science, and theoretical physics, including a claimed refutation of the Exponential Time Hypothesis. To release the work without alienating the scientific establishment, the company introduced an experimental academic publishing model using external expert shepherds. The initiative disclaims academic authorship for OpenAI while leaving the intensive labor of verification to independent university researchers.
