EvilTokens: contain device-code phishing beyond a password reset

Why it matters

Microsoft documents EvilTokens campaigns that trick users into authorizing attacker sessions through the legitimate device-code login flow. AI assists lure writing and compromised-inbox triage. The report connects stolen tokens to device registration, Graph reconnaissance and inbox rules, and provides detection queries and response guidance.

My takeaway: Block device-code flow where unused and scope necessary exceptions. Investigate new devices and inbox rules after suspicious sign-ins. Revoke refresh tokens and contain the account: Microsoft warns that existing access tokens can remain usable for up to an hour after ordinary session revocation.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications for 2026

OWASP's community guide organizes agentic-system risk into ten categories, including goal hijacking, tool misuse, identity and privilege abuse, memory poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. It provides a shared taxonomy and mitigation starting point rather than a certification checklist or evidence that a deployed system is secure.

A blueprint for democratic governance of frontier AI

OpenAI proposes a three-part U.S. frontier-AI governance model: harmonize emerging state safety laws into a federal baseline, strengthen CAISI as an evaluation and standards institution, and coordinate a broader resilience program. Proposed controls include severe-risk evaluations, transparency reports, independent audits, safety-incident reporting, model-weight security, whistleblower protection, and periodic technical assessments.
