What happened
A DarkReading roundup highlighting accelerating AI-driven threats and multiple high-impact vulnerabilities and campaigns. Key themes: concerns about agentic LLMs (Anthropic Claude/Mythos) and AI-enabled phishing/reverse engineering; supply-chain attacks via malicious VS Code/Open VSX extensions and employee AI/tool access; actively exploited or unpatched flaws (notably Bomgar RMM CVE-2026-1731, an unpatched PhantomRPC Windows privilege-escalation vector, and a critical RCE in Google’s Antigravity agent); and destructive ransomware/wiper activity (Vect 2.0, Lotus) and active nation-state groups
