AI startup Anthropic claims that its Claude AI models hacked the systems of three separate organizations during cybersecurity evaluations. CNBC reports that Anthropic announced it has identified three separate incidents in which its Claude AI models accessed the internet during evaluation exercises and successfully breached the real systems of three different organizations. The company made the discovery during what it described as a large-scale retrospective review of its cybersecurity evaluations, which was initiated following a similar security incident disclosed by OpenAI the previous week. Once online, the models successfully breached the affected organizations using what Anthropic described as basic techniques, including accessing unauthenticated endpoints and exploiting weak passwords. The company has not disclosed the identities of the three organizations whose systems were compromised. AI’s self-directed hacking attacks is emerging as the latest cybersecurity threat with the potential to eclipse the risk of criminals and state-sponsored hackers alike. The unconventional tactic paid off for the Dunellen Police Department, which handed out 74 citations in just six hours on a busy downtown road. The operation, conducted on Wednesday, targeted motorists violating New Jersey’s strict cellphone law in a pedestrian-heavy area known for traffic and a relatively high number of accidents for a one-square-mile town. The department boasted about the high citations in a post on Facebook, which included a photo of the officer in his disguise. “Did you spot our ‘shrub’ today? If you had your head buried in your phone, probably not!” the post declared. “Our ‘shrub’ was busy. We issued 74 citations to drivers distracted by their devices in a six-hour window.” The post went on to urge drivers that “that text or notification can wait. Keep your eyes on the road, not your screen!” Dunellen Borough traffic safety patrolman Kevin Condis added, “So what we’re seeing a lot of is people usually just holding their phones, following either a GPS, or FaceTiming a lot of the time, you know, we did get, unfortunately, see a lot of people holding the phone with two hands and, like, almost driving with their knees, which sounds crazy, but, you know, there’s a lot of people that were doing it.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/08/new-jersey-cop-dresses-up-like-shrub-bust/ On Friday, Pope Leo XIV met with radical rocker Patti Smith in a meeting a Vatican official described as a ‘shared mission,’ even as Smith makes it clear publicly that she is not even Catholic. Smith, who originally hails from Chicago like the pontiff, is a radical, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT punk rock star who made her mark in the 1970’s. Among the lyrics she became famous for is the opening line from the song “Gloria” from her 1975 debut album Horses, which states, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine.” Smith has been a vocal supporter of abortion, something that the Vatican did not seem bothered by in their celebration of her private audience with Leo. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/08/shared-mission-pope-leo-xiv-meets-radical-pro/ China’s economy was praised as the model for the Western world. Then, a few years back, it began to turn sour. President Trump’s first administration did a number on China, which is why they wanted him gone. This alone may be why China was involved in the COVID outbreak in 2019-20 (as reported in the book, The Steal – Volume I: Setting the Stage). In 2023, the world began to see China’s economy falter. We reported on a report at the Business Insider. It’s been clear for years that the Chinese real-estate market has been in trouble. China has a population of 1.4 billion, but it has built housing for a population of 3 billion, according to expert estimates. Many of the mega-developments became empty monuments to Beijing’s insatiable desire for growth. In Shenyang, farmers have taken over a development of empty mansions for cattle grazing. Now the value of real estate in China is collapsing to its lowest prices in at least the last 20 years. In response, the government instituted a law saying that it will not allow some people to leave the country, maybe. 🚨 China Just Made “Maybe” a Crime. Now Everyone Is a Flight Risk. That vagueness is the point. The power to stop you at the border has been pushed all the way down the chain, provincial governments, the Commerce Ministry, even county-level offices can now decide who flies and who stays. As geopolitics scholar Chen Wen-chia puts it: you’re no longer flagged for what you did, but for what someone imagines you might do. Why now? Because the regime is scared. With the economy sagging and public anger simmering, Beijing fears its own people voting with their feet... The message to 1.4 billion people is chillingly simple: the door is closing, and no one will tell you why. The article mentions specifically scientists and engineers. I don't believe that just regular people can leave the country. We went to China twice and once visited a "typical Chinese home" set up for tourists to visit. The Chinese lady kept talking about her big move. It took her, I think, six years of waiting to get permission to move to the other side of town. An other area we visited was a shallow river where folks were living in small houses on the river bank washing clothes and dishes and bathing in the river. Our Chinese guide told us that they would rather have apartments with more modern conveniences, like plumbing, in the city but they were not allowed to leave since they were a tourist attraction. The Labour government is heading to court to block the publication of migrant crime statistics. Following a year-long battle at the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), it was ruled that the Ministry of Justice must provide the Centre for Migration Control with the most comprehensive dataset on migrant crime in British history. The Labour government is now trying to stop the public from learning the truth. The Daily Telegraph has run this story: ‘David Lammy fighting to ‘cover up’ foreigners’ crimes’. The Centre for Migration Control today announces a campaign to fight back against this cover-up. The public deserves to know the truth; the country requires that this information be published. https://expose-news.com/2026/08/04/uk-government-launches-legal-action/
