OpenClaw has issued security updates for three vulnerabilities in its autonomous AI agent framework, warning administrators that older npm package versions could expose systems to policy bypasses, unauthorised configuration changes and API credential leakage. The flaws affect versions released before 2026.4.20, with one issue limited to versions between 2026.4.5 and 2026.4.20. The patched version tightens how the framework handles trusted operator settings, bundled tools and workspace environment […]

Cybercriminals are exploiting tax-season anxiety by circulating fake Income Tax Department notices that push taxpayers and companies towards malware-laden downloads disguised as assessment orders and compliance documents. The campaign uses official-looking emails and cloned tax portals to make recipients believe they are facing scrutiny over alleged violations, including concealment of income or inaccurate filings. Victims are directed to external websites that imitate government communication, where buttons labelled […]

Giant prehistoric insects may not have owed their extraordinary size to oxygen-rich air after all, after new research challenged one of palaeobiology’s most familiar explanations for why dragonfly-like creatures with wingspans approaching 70cm once flew over Earth’s coal-swamp forests.
