AgentBaiting: How Fake AI Skills Deliver Malware at Scale
Island security researchers uncovered the FakeGit campaign, which used roughly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories—over 800 posing as AI Skills or MCP servers—to deliver SmartLoader malware that installs the StealC information stealer. The campaign introduces a technique called AgentBaiting, in which AI agents such as Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT autonomously discover the attacker repositories, treat the malicious README as legitimate documentation, and pass installation instructions to users; the operation recorded over 14 million downloads.supply-chain · tool-abuse · malware-delivery · agentbaiting

GitHub - rewired89/HSIP-1PHASE: A self-hosted identity server that gives AI agents a cryptographic identity, generates tamper-proof audit trails, and covers financial compliance requirements (MiFID II, FINRA 4511, SOX §404, DORA, SWIFT CSCF) all in a single Rust binary with no cloud dependency.
HSIP-1PHASE is a self-hosted Rust binary identity server that assigns AI agents a cryptographic identity, produces tamper-proof audit trails of agent actions, and maps to financial compliance regimes (MiFID II, FINRA 4511, SOX §404, DORA, SWIFT CSCF). It ships with a browser extension that surfaces an AI agent activity panel and recent audit entries. Details →How the wire is made
Poll & cluster
Internet is crawled for AI security news and near-duplicate coverage is embedded and grouped into durable items.
Curate
AI Agent filters for agentic-AI relevance, classifies and tags each item, scores severity for threats, and writes the summary.
Every item here is one machine-curated intelligence object, not a headline.
