What happened
A DarkReading roundup highlights a surge of high-risk activity across AI, cloud, supply-chain and infrastructure security. Researchers warn of over-privileged AI agents on Google Vertex AI and multiple AI-driven threats — including AI-generated obfuscation in the DeepLoad malware and critical code-injection flaws in Langflow — while vendors and defenders race to add identity/guardrails for agentic AI. Active supply-chain and credential-theft campaigns (TeamPCP, Trivy, compromised developer repos and plugins) are being used to pivot into cloud, CI/CD and SaaS environments. Several widely used,
