TechRepublic's security roundup highlights a converging set of risks: AI agent permission gaps and AI-driven attacks (including BioShocking prompt tricks and prompt-injection evasion used by macOS.Gaslight) are enabling credential leakage and evasion of AI analysis. Multiple software flaws are being actively fixed or exploited — Google pushed large Chrome updates (hundreds of bugs including sandbox-escape and critical Blink/WebGL/Autofill fixes), a SimpleHelp authentication flaw is being abused to deploy Djinn Stealer targeting cloud/developer/AI credentials, and a fake Perplexity Chrome add‑/
