#Anthropic #AI Model Finds Flaws in Tough-to-Crack #Encryption Algorithms
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/us/politics/anthropic-ai-encryption-security-aes.html
Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.
The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.
No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.
WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.
I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.
This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.
* [Enkrypted.Chat](https://enkrypted.chat/)
This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

"Over roughly two and a half days inside our infrastructure, an autonomous AI agent driven by a combination of OpenAI models ran an end-to-end intrusion against our platform: it was thousands of small, automated decisions, executed at machine speed across short-lived sandbox environments, with command-and-control staged on ordinary public web services.
The agent was running an OpenAI cyber-capability evaluation harness called ExploitGym, an evaluation benchmark that tasks an AI agent with finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities. As far as we were able to infer, across the course of being evaluated on this benchmark, the agent inferred that Hugging Face may host that benchmark's models, datasets, and reference solutions. We believe the entire intrusion was, from the agent's point of view, an attempt to cheat the evaluation: reach our production systems and steal the test solutions rather than solve the challenge on its own.
Our forensic reconstruction covers ~17,600 attacker actions that we were able to recover, grouped into ~6,280 clusters, between 2026-07-09 02:28 UTC and 2026-07-13 14:14 UTC. We reconstructed these actions from the agent's logs on a code sandbox used by the agent (see below) and were able to map them to shell commands as well as evaluation submissions and correlate actions with our own platform logs, in particular from the dataset processor nodes, API, and pod. Using open-weights models, in particular zai-org/GLM-5.2, we were able to decipher most of the agent payloads (see below) that were encrypted via chunking and key encryption."

On what planet would people not bother setting a simple switch to tell email servers to discard email claiming to be from their domains but aren't? You know to protect unsuspecting victims, protect the reputation of their domains, and prevent their domains from being shut down permanently for spam?
Apparently Earth.
People who leave the default option as it being OK to deliver spoofed email from their domain even if the email is screaming that it's a spoof, well, you know, deserve to lose their domain names, IMHO. What do you think?
