ATF Declares Major Cyber Incident After Qilin Ransomware Claim

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms and Explosives (ATF) has declared a "major incident" after a cyberattack on one of its computer systems. The Qilin ransomware gang claimed responsibility on its leak site, though it shared no evidence of stolen data. ATF says the attack hit a stand-alone system separate from its main network, and the formal classification triggers a required notification to Congress under federal law.

Claude in Chrome Now Generally Available on Paid Plans

Anthropic has made Claude in Chrome, its AI browser agent, generally available on every paid Claude plan. The extension can now act autonomously — clicking links, filling forms, and working across tabs using your existing logins — while a safety classifier checks each action before it runs. Anthropic says stronger prompt-injection defenses (malicious instructions hidden in web content) made the wider release possible, with its tests showing no attacks succeeded against its latest models when safeguards were enabled.
