What happened
A run of high-impact security incidents and research: the agentic AI tool OpenClaw can be abused to gain silent, unauthenticated admin access; novel Rowhammer-style GPU attacks (GDDRHammer, GeForge, GPUBreach) let attackers escalate from GPU memory corruption to full machine/CPU control on Nvidia hardware; research shows quantum attacks need far fewer resources than previously thought (accelerating Q‑Day concerns and Google moving an industry timeline toward 2029). Multiple active supply-chain and in-the-wild compromises were reported—Trivy scanner compromise, invisible-Unicode repo attacks, a
