How to Build a High-Performance Distributed Task Routing System Using Kombu with Topic Exchanges and Concurrent WorkersMarkTechPost In this tutorial, we build a fully functional event-driven workflow using Kombu, treating messaging as a core architectural capability. We walk through step by step the setup of exchanges, routing keys, background workers, and concurrent producers, allowing us to observe a real distributed system. As we implement each component, we see how clean message flow,

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new campaign that has used cracked software distribution sites as a distribution vector for a new version of a modular and stealthy loader known as CountLoader. The campaign “uses CountLoader as the initial tool in a multistage attack for access, evasion, and delivery of additional malware families,” Cyderes […]
A Coding Guide to Design a Complete Agentic Workflow in Gemini for Automated Medical Evidence Gathering and Prior Authorization SubmissionMarkTechPost In this tutorial, we devise how to orchestrate a fully functional, tool-using medical prior-authorization agent powered by Gemini. We walk through each component step by step, from securely configuring the model to building realistic external tools and finally constructing an intelligent agent loop that reasons, acts, and responds entirely through structured JSON. As we progress,

Penetration Testing of Agentic AI: A Comparative Security Analysis Across Models and Frameworkscs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2512.14860v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Agentic AI introduces security vulnerabilities that traditional LLM safeguards fail to address. Although recent work by Unit 42 at Palo Alto Networks demonstrated that ChatGPT-4o successfully executes attacks as an agent that it refuses in chat mode, there is no comparative analysis in multiple models and frameworks. We conducted the first systematic penetration testing and comparative evaluation of agentic AI systems, testing five prominent models (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Flash, GPT-4o, Grok 2, and Nova Pro) across two agentic AI frameworks (AutoGen and CrewAI) using a seven-agent architecture that mimics the functionality of a university information management system and 13 distinct attack scenarios that span prompt injection, Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF), SQL injection, and tool misuse. Our 130 total test cases reveal significant security disparities: AutoGen demonstrates a 52.3% refusal rate versus CrewAI’s 30.8%, while model performance ranges from Nova Pro’s 46.2% to Claude and Grok 2’s 38.5%. Most critically, Grok 2 on CrewAI rejected only 2 of 13 attacks (15.4% refusal rate), and the overall refusal rate of 41.5% across all configurations indicates that more than half of malicious prompts succeeded despite enterprise-grade safety mechanisms. We identify six distinct defensive behavior patterns including a novel “hallucinated compliance” strategy where models fabricate outputs rather than executing or refusing attacks, and provide actionable recommendations for secure agent deployment. Complete attack prompts are also included in the Appendix to enable reproducibility.

Introducing SOCI indexing for Amazon SageMaker Studio: Faster container startup times for AI/ML workloadsArtificial Intelligence Today, we are excited to introduce a new feature for SageMaker Studio: SOCI (Seekable Open Container Initiative) indexing. SOCI supports lazy loading of container images, where only the necessary parts of an image are downloaded initially rather than the entire container.

A suspected Russia-aligned group has been attributed to a phishing campaign that employs device code authentication workflows to steal victims’ Microsoft 365 credentials and conduct account takeover attacks. The activity, ongoing since September 2025, is being tracked by Proofpoint under the moniker UNK_AcademicFlare. The attacks involve using compromised email addresses belonging to government Read More
