In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down a packed week in AI security — from the first AI-built zero day in the wild to model supply chain attacks and gray market AI access. What used to be theoretical is now operational. AI isn’t just assisting attackers anymore — it’s actively being used to discover vulnerabilities, distribute malicious models, and even experiment with autonomous behavior. Across four major stories, a clear pattern emerges: AI is no longer just a...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down a new benchmarking framework designed to evaluate AI pentesting agents against real-world offensive security scenarios. What began as experimental evaluation of “can AI hack?” has quickly shifted into something much closer to operational reality. Organizations are now seeing a surge in agentic tooling and automated pentesting workflows, where human-guided AI systems consistently outperform fully autonomous agents in complex,...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down a growing problem in cybersecurity: AI-generated bug bounty “slop” overwhelming the system. What started as a powerful way to crowdsource vulnerability discovery is now hitting a breaking point. Programs like cURL’s bug bounty and platforms like HackerOne are seeing a massive surge in submissions — but fewer and fewer of them are actually valid. The result? Security teams spending hours reviewing reports that go nowhere, whi...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down the Vercel breach — a real-world incident that shows just how fragile modern security has become in the age of AI integrations and SaaS sprawl. What started as a simple Roblox cheat script downloaded on a work laptop quickly escalated into a multi-hop compromise involving OAuth permissions, an AI productivity tool, and access into Vercel’s internal systems. This wasn’t a zero-day or advanced nation-state exploit. It was a ch...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down Claude Mythos Preview — Anthropic’s unreleased frontier model that may represent a turning point in AI-powered cybersecurity. What started as a controlled research release under Project Glasswing has quickly become one of the most controversial developments in AI security. Mythos isn’t just better at finding vulnerabilities — it’s operating at a scale and depth that challenges long-held assumptions about how quickly software...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team is joined by Alex Minster to demo his project: HOLOCRON OpenBrain with — a persistent, model-agnostic memory layer designed to solve one of the biggest frustrations in AI workflows. Instead of starting from scratch every time you open a new chat, Alex’s approach creates a centralized “brain” that multiple AI models can connect to, allowing context, notes, and intelligence to persist across sessions, tools, and even platforms. The result...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down the LiteLLM supply chain compromise–a real-world attack that shows how AI systems are being breached through the same old software supply chain weaknesses. What initially looked like a bad release quickly escalated into a full-scale compromise affecting a library downloaded millions of times per day. But LiteLLM wasn’t the starting point–it was just one link in a much larger attack chain involving compromised security tools,...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down model ablation — a powerful interpretability technique that’s quickly becoming a serious concern in AI security. What started as a way to better understand how models work is now being used to remove safety mechanisms entirely. By identifying and disabling specific components inside a model, researchers — and attackers — can effectively strip out refusal behavior while leaving the rest of the model fully functional. The resu...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team explores embedding space attacks — a lesser-known but increasingly important threat in modern AI systems — and how attackers can manipulate the mathematical foundations of how models understand data. Unlike prompt injection, which targets instructions, embedding attacks operate at a deeper level by influencing how data is represented, retrieved, and interpreted inside vector spaces. By subtly altering embeddings or poisoning data source...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down indirect prompt injection — the #1 risk in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications — and why it represents one of the most dangerous and misunderstood threats in modern AI systems. Unlike traditional attacks, indirect prompt injection doesn’t require malware, credentials, or even user interaction. Instead, attackers hide malicious instructions inside everyday content like emails, documents, or web pages — and wait for AI syste...

In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, we’re joined by Beau Bullock and Hayden Covington to unpack one of the most talked-about AI agent experiments in recent memory: OpenClaw and its companion platform, Moltbook. OpenClaw exploded onto the scene as an autonomous AI agent capable of operating Claude Code from the command line — executing tasks, monitoring output, and iterating with minimal human involvement. Shortly after, Moltbook emerged as a social platform designed specifically f...
