Mac Malware Gaslights AI, Major Info-Stealer Takedown, OpenAI's Patch the Planet, and FortiBleed Fallout Mac malware called "Gaslight," attributed to North Korea-aligned actors, plants fake system messages designed to derail AI-based analysis while stealing data and exfiltrating it via a Telegram bot. Microsoft and Europol disrupted the Amadey and SteelC info-stealer ecosystem by seizing/shuttering infrastructure after identifying 140,000 infections in early May and over 200 command-and-control domains and IPs, as part of Operation Endgame. OpenAI announced "Patch the Planet," a joint effort with Trail of Bits and HackerOne to help open-source projects find and fix bugs amid AI-generated report flooding, alongside a new GPT 5.5 Cyber benchmark result.
