Most companies with remote or hybrid employees use a device sitting at the edge of their network, a box that lets people log in securely from home the same way they would sit at a desk in the office. SonicWall makes one of the most common versions of this box. Security researchers at Volexity, who investigate breaches for a living, discovered that attackers had been breaking into these devices and taking full control of them, not just peeking in, since June 22. SonicWall did not have a fix ready until July 14, more than three weeks later.
On May 4, someone stole $150,000 from an AI-powered crypto wallet using Morse code. The attacker posted a reply on X asking Grok to translate a Morse code message. The decoded text contained hidden instructions to transfer funds. Grok translated it faithfully. Bankrbot, an AI agent connected to the wallet, treated the translation as a legitimate command and wired the money. No password was stolen. No system was hacked. The attacker just talked to the AI in a language it understood and the safety filters didn't.
