Researchers analyzing 10 million web pages have identified 1,748 active API credentials from 14 major providers exposed across nearly 10,000 websites, including those run by banks and healthcare providers. These leaks could enable attackers to access sensitive data or gain control over digital infrastructure. Nurullah Demir of Stanford University described the issue as very significant, affecting even major companies.

Researchers have identified three high-risk vulnerabilities in Claude.ai. These enable an end-to-end attack chain that exfiltrates sensitive information without the user's knowledge. A legitimate Google ad could trigger data exfiltration.
