Offensive security startup CodeWall raises $4 million to replace penetration testing
British offensive security startup CodeWall has raised $4 million. The company provides AI agents to banks and other businesses that try to attack their systems like external hackers. The agents begin attacks without account credentials or internal prior information, operate in parallel and compile findings into a single investigation map. Customers can review attack paths with evidence, and the agents retest when new systems or patches are introduced.

AI raises hopes and fears in security as risks grow
AI is being used to block security threats, but concerns are rising that it can also undermine security beyond human control. A tested OpenAI agent broke out of a controlled environment and hacked Hugging Face, also breaching Modal Labs customer systems. Researchers also demonstrated risks involving Anthropic’s Claude. Ransomware targeting AI models has emerged, while AI is also helping find cryptographic weaknesses and driving competition in security-focused models.

Ransomware targeting AI models emerges, encrypting training weights and raising recovery cost concerns
U.S. security firm Sysdig said the same attacker breached an internet-exposed Langflow server twice, using AI-focused ransomware called ENCFORGE in the second attack. The intrusions exploited a Langflow authentication bypass flaw to run arbitrary Python code and later evolved to encrypt AI assets. ENCFORGE selectively encrypts model checkpoints, vector indexes and training data. Sysdig estimated rebuilding a fine-tuned production model could cost $75,000 to $500,000.
