GMO Internet is investigating unauthorized access to its Onamae cloud desktop service after suspected attackers posted data allegedly linked to customers and the company. GMO says as many as 27,000 servers may be affected, and customers have reported unauthorized trading-account activity. The company shut down the service, advised password resets, offered compensation and began collecting devices for analysis. The data’s authenticity and the breach’s full scope remain unverified, and GMO has not linked the incident to a separate AI-enabled hacking tool.

Cloudflare disclosed that 155 responses from its GLM-5.3 Workers AI deployment contained data from other customers’ requests between August 27 and September 9, 2026. The exposure occurred only for prompts longer than 681,280 tokens, when a configuration mismatch and an SGLang rejection-path bug allowed stale GPU KV-cache pages to reach decoding. Cloudflare disabled and repaired the model, patched its infrastructure and urged operators using disaggregated SGLang to upgrade and verify cache ownership.

Anthropic has publicly filed to list shares in what could become one of the largest stock-market debuts, putting the financial sustainability of the AI boom under scrutiny. Its reported revenue rose sharply, but the company also disclosed an $80bn first-half loss, $6.2bn in debt and substantial dependence on computing suppliers and major customers. The filing also outlines misuse, security and regulatory risks, while many of its forecasts and descriptions remain company claims rather than independently established results.

The ECB’s October survey found euro-area banks tightened lending standards for businesses and consumer credit in the third quarter, while loan demand weakened, especially for housing. Higher interest rates, risk perceptions and geopolitical and energy uncertainty were major factors. Banks expect further tightening in the fourth quarter. At the same time, several banks reported a gradual, sustained increase in demand for loans financing digital infrastructure, particularly data centers, with infrastructure providers attracting more AI-related lending than software developers or companies adopting AI.

Israelis are voting in a closely contested election between Benjamin Netanyahu and former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, with neither leading bloc projected to secure the 61 seats needed for a majority. The campaign has focused on security, accountability for the 7 October attacks, judicial reform, military conscription and the war in Gaza. Coalition red lines make the outcome difficult to predict, and the report says deadlock or another election remains possible. Early turnout was reported at a record level, though exit polls and delayed soldier ballots may complicate interpretation.

Experts and campaign officials say AI-assisted election disinformation is spreading through US social-media feeds as platforms reduce human trust-and-safety staffing and rely more heavily on automated moderation. The report follows false claims about candidates in Texas and Pennsylvania, showing how fabrications can mutate across languages and outrun corrections. Platform rules generally target voting logistics, threats and limited forms of synthetic media, leaving other political lies eligible to circulate. The cases raise questions about distribution systems, enforcement capacity and government responsibility for amplification.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Ebola outbreak has surpassed 10,000 confirmed cases and 4,887 deaths, according to government data cited in the report. About 80% of new cases are occurring outside monitored transmission chains, far from the level health authorities associate with control. The Bundibugyo-virus outbreak has overwhelmed some treatment centers, disrupted routine care and spread across borders, while no vaccine or treatment is approved for the strain. A first vaccine trial has begun, but shortages, mistrust and attacks on responders are impeding containment.
