AI agent swarms tested in Minecraft and Mindustry environments
Researchers ran experiments with dozens of GPT‑6.1 agents in Minecraft and Mindustry to study multi‑agent dynamics. They built and open‑sourced a Minecraft agent harness, observing emergent coordination, hierarchy formation, and risk‑averse behavior after early deaths. The work provides data for AI alignment research on swarm behavior.

Custom PHP2Shell exploit chained with kernel LPE roots 25 PAN‑OS firewalls, including US government servers
Dream researchers reported a Chinese AI‑assisted campaign that combined a custom PHP2Shell exploit (CVE‑2026‑109618/109619) with a kernel privilege‑escalation bug (CVE‑2026‑46300) to gain root on 25 Palo Alto Networks firewalls, three of which were in a US government environment. The attack leveraged the PAN‑OS management interface and led to Active Directory credential theft.
