Anthropic’s AI to Help Apple Find iOS, macOS, and Safari Vulnerabilities

Anthropic’s AI to Help Apple Find iOS, macOS, and Safari Vulnerabilities

Published by skeptic

Anthropic on Tuesday announced Project Glasswing, a new initiative that will enable tech companies to use its new AI model Mythos Preview to find and fix security vulnerabilities or weaknesses across operating systems and web browsers. Mythos Preview has already found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser, according to Anthropic. “AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities,” said Anthropic. “Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely.” “Project Glasswing is an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes,” added the company. Mythos Preview will not be available to the public. Instead, Anthropic said use of the model will be limited to selected partners, with the initial group beyond Anthropic itself including Apple, Amazon Web Services, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto …

Safari Technology Preview Turns 10: A Decade of Testing Apple’s Web Technologies

Published by skeptic

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Safari Technology Preview, a version of Safari that’s aimed at testing new web technologies. Apple first announced ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ for Mac on March 30, 2016, and rolled it out that same day. At the time, Apple said that it wanted to get feedback from developers on browser development using a method more easily accessible than WebKit. “Get a sneak peek at upcoming web technologies in macOS and iOS with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ and experiment with these technologies in your websites and extensions,” reads the description on Apple’s developer website. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can be used side-by-side with the main Safari browser, and it can be set as the default if users prefer it. Though it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ has a purple icon to distinguish it from the standard version of Safari. STP is compatible with macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe right now, and when macOS 27 launches, it will work with ‌macOS 27‌ …

Comet AI browser lands on iPhone, challenging Safari

Comet AI browser lands on iPhone, challenging Safari

Published by skeptic

Perplexity released its Comet AI browser as a standalone app for iPhone, expanding the fast-growing AI browser category for Apple’s mobile ecosystem. The launch follows an Android rollout late last year and marks a major shift in pricing: Comet, which debuted on desktop in 2025 with a $200-per-month subscription, is now free on mobile. AI browsers have been gaining popularity, and plenty of users will be excited for a good replacement for the iOS-native Safari browser. Why AI browsers like Comet are becoming popular AI assistants streamline research and routine tasks Comet blends a traditional browser with an AI assistant that can summarize pages, answer questions, and carry out tasks on a user’s behalf. That “agentic” approach — where the AI doesn’t just respond but actively navigates, clicks, and completes actions — has become a defining feature in a crowded field of AI-enhanced browsers. In long-term testing, Comet has proven compelling enough to replace traditional browsers for many day-to-day tasks, largely because of how tightly its AI is integrated. Instead of acting as a sidebar …

Apple rolls out first ‘background security’ update for iPhones, iPads, and Macs to fix Safari bug

Apple rolls out first ‘background security’ update for iPhones, iPads, and Macs to fix Safari bug

Published by skeptic

Apple has published its first “background security improvement” update to patch a security bug in its Safari web browser on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. According to a new security advisory posted Tuesday, Apple said a security researcher discovered a bug in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and other apps. The bug, if exploited, could allow a malicious website to potentially access data from another website in the same browser session. Apple explains that background security improvements are “lightweight” software updates that contain important fixes for security vulnerabilities, which the company pushes to customers’ devices in between larger software updates. These updates, which debuted with iPhones, iPads, and Macs running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS (ver. 26.1 and higher), can contain fixes for certain software components, such as Safari, its WebKit engine, and other system libraries that benefit from occasional ongoing security updates. Apple did not give a reason for why it patched this specific bug, and a spokesperson for Apple did not immediately comment when contacted by TechCrunch. When we …

Rallying-Katsuta takes first WRC win in Kenya Safari Rally

Rallying-Katsuta takes first WRC win in Kenya Safari Rally

Published by Sam Flores

March 15 : Toyota’s Takamoto Katsuta won a gruelling Kenya Safari rally on Sunday for the Japanese driver’s first success in the world championship. Katsuta, in his 94th WRC start, became his country’s first WRC rally winner since Kenjiro Shinozuka at the Ivory Coast Rally in 1992. The former circuit racer won by 27.4 seconds from Hyundai’s Adrien Fourmaux with Toyota’s Sami Pajari third. Toyota’s Elfyn Evans retained the drivers’ championship lead with 66 points, despite retiring from Saturday’s penultimate leg with suspension damage, eight points clear of teammate Oliver Solberg after three rounds and 11 ahead of Katsuta. “It’s hard to describe how I felt when I crossed the finish line: it was just crazy. There have been so many difficult moments and these memories all went through my head,” said Katsuta. “It hasn’t been easy but finally we are here.” Katsuta has a strong record in Kenya, with three podiums from five previous starts, and he arrived this year on the back of finishing second in Sweden. A double puncture on Friday left …

Is this the most luxe safari lodge in the world?

Is this the most luxe safari lodge in the world?

Published by Sam Flores

As soon as I arrived at Hiddn, however, I appeared to have something of a personality crisis; as much as I wanted to find fault with it, I couldn’t. Everything about it seemed perfect. This was surprising, as the journey had been long: Heathrow to Cape Town, a flight from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and then a 90-minute car ride up into the bush, much of it on a dirt track (we were being ferried in a brand spanking new Defender). The scenery was lush and green and extraordinary, and after 40 minutes or so, all we could see were trees and animals — zebra, buffalo, warthog, kudu and bushbuck. And when we finally arrived, at the very top of a mountain, we were presented with the sight of a lodge which looked like an international space station, surrounded by a dozen villas of such opulence that I thought the whole place was an AI-imagined outpost of Aman.
