forklog.media Researchers Develop Adaptive AI Worm

Researchers from the University of Toronto, Vector Institute, University of Cambridge, and ServiceNow have developed a prototype of an adaptive AI worm. The malware generates a unique attack strategy for each target. The study AI Agents Enable Adaptive Computer Worms states that the experiment was conducted in an isolated virtual network. The software prototype spread across a heterogeneous network of Linux, Windows, and IoT devices through classic vulnerabilities in corporate networks. Compromised machines were used by the worm as a computational base for further "reasoning" and spreading. The authors claim that this makes the hypothetical cost of infecting a new machine zero for the attacker. According to developers at CleverHans Lab, the malware operated on an open language model locally, rather than through a commercial AI platform. The authors emphasize that they did not implement standard virus functions that complicate detection or removal. AI worm attack scheme. Source: CleverHans Lab. The worm used a recursive cycle of "reasoning," memory, and tools to tailor its tactics to specific devices. Infected nodes with GPUs could provide computing power for further attacks on less powerful devices in the network. The AI exploited publicly disclosed but still available vulnerabilities, configuration errors, and recurring classes of weaknesses. The University of Toronto described the work as the first demonstration of publicly available AI models powering a virus that changes strategy as it spreads between devices. The material also states that the research aims to help the cybersecurity community prepare for such a threat. University professor David Lajay called the publication a "wake-up call" for developers of protective mechanisms. Back in September 2025, the threat analysis team at startup Anthropic discovered and thwarted the first-of-its-kind cyber espionage campaign conducted by AI.

forklog.media Hamamatsu, NKT, and Yaqumo Collaborate on Photonics for Quantum Computers

Japanese conglomerate Hamamatsu Photonics, its subsidiary NKT Photonics, and startup Yaqumo signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop and commercialize photonic systems for cold atom quantum computers. According to the press release, the agreement lays the foundation for joint R&D; projects, the creation of industrial optical modules, and the establishment of a global supply chain for key components. In neutral atom quantum systems, photonic lasers play a critical role: they are used for cooling, trapping, manipulating qubit states, and subsequently reading information. Hamamatsu Photonics will provide expertise in photodetectors and ultra-sensitive imaging systems. NKT Photonics will develop specialized laser technologies and fiber optic solutions. Yaqumo will focus on hardware, developing its own scalable architecture based on ytterbium atoms. The signing ceremony took place on June 3 at the official residence of the Danish ambassador in Japan. The event was attended by Jingo Kikukawa, Director-General of the Bureau of Innovation and Environment at Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Jarl Frijs-Madsen, the Danish ambassador to Japan. Yaqumo noted that this initiative is part of an intergovernmental agreement between Japan and Denmark on cooperation in quantum technologies, signed in 2025. The partners expect that the cooperation will enable Japan to ensure stable supplies of optical components for its national quantum industry, while Denmark will strengthen its position as a global hub for high-tech equipment production. In May, Australian scientists developed a full-cycle photonic chip for quantum systems. In June, Dutch company QuiX Quantum installed the first Feed-Forward Control Unit system designed for controlling a photonic quantum computer.
