Low-Cost Android Phones Ship With Preinstalled Malware That Turns Them Into Proxies

Security researchers found that budget Android handsets arrive from the factory with hidden malware that silently enrolls them in residential proxy networks, routing strangers' internet traffic through the owner's device and connection. Because the software is bundled into the firmware, users cannot easily remove it. The finding highlights supply-chain risks in cheap hardware and the potential for victims' IP addresses to be tied to illicit activity.

Third-party AI agents slip past security built for approved AI tools

An analysis argues that enterprise security controls are designed for the AI tools an organization knowingly adopts, leaving unvetted third-party agents operating unnoticed. Because these agents act autonomously with real credentials and data access, they can bypass policies, logging and approval workflows. The piece calls for visibility and governance covering agent activity organizations did not explicitly sanction.
