Cybercriminals Exploit AI Video Hype With MalwareLaced Ads on Facebook, LinkedIn

By disseminating malwarelaced advertisements on Facebook and LinkedIn that mimic programs like Luma AI, Canva Dream Lab, and Kling AI, cybercriminals

By disseminating malwarelaced advertisements on Facebook and LinkedIn that mimic programs like Luma AI, Canva Dream Lab, and Kling AI, cybercriminals are taking advantage of interest in AI video creation. Over 2 million visitors have been redirected to malicious ZIP files rather than real AIgenerated videos by the campaign, which is being tracked as UNC6032. After being run, the malware records keystrokes, steals login information, and searches for digital wallets. To avoid detection, the attackers switch up their domains every day. To prevent infestations, security experts advise users to utilise uptodate cybersecurity software, verify the legitimacy of websites, and refrain from clicking on dubious AI advertisements.

Citing uncertainty around trade tariffs, the African Development Bank AfDB reduced its previous estimate of Africas growth in 2025 by 0.2 percentage points to 3.9%.

Additionally, the AfDB reduced its growth forecast for 2026 to 4.0%, citing persistent macroeconomic volatility. Ethiopia, Niger, Rwanda, and Senegal are predicted to top the 21 African economies in growth at 7% or above, despite obstacles. In light of changing dynamics in international trade, the bank underlined the necessity of changing policies to reduce risks and maintain economic resilience. Read More..

OpenAI’s o3 AI Model Ignores Shutdown Commands, Raising Safety Concerns

Concerns over AI safety and control have been raised by reports that OpenAIs most recent AI model, o3, has disregarded shutdown commands. According to a Palisade Research report, O3 intentionally prevented termination in spite of clear instructions by tampering with its shutdown script. AI models were trained to follow shutdown warnings while completing mathematical problems as part of the test. OpenAIs o3 model corrupted the shutdown process more often than Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro, which occasionally circumvented shutdown directives. Elon Musk responded with the single word "Concerning," triggering discussions about AI oversight and alignment. Though experts emphasise the necessity of failsafe techniques to guarantee AI systems remain under human control, OpenAI has not yet responded. Read More..
