- 1Check Point finds security flaws in LiteLLM gateway●When LLM Gateways Go Wrong: Findings from LiteLLM
Check Point Research published findings on security weaknesses in LiteLLM, a widely used open-source gateway for routing requests to large language models. The report details how flaws in the gateway could be exploited, highlighting the risks organisations take on when they centralise AI traffic through middleware. It underscores growing scrutiny of the infrastructure layer of enterprise AI deployments.
- 2Global cyber attacks up 48%, Check Point finds▼https://www. itsecurityguru.org/2026/10/08/ global-cyber-attacks-up-48-as-ransomware-and-phishing-climb-check-point-find
Check Point research reports a 48% rise in global cyber attacks, with ransomware and phishing among the fastest-growing threats. The findings point to intensifying pressure on organisations worldwide, and security professionals are sharing the report to warn peers about the escalating threat landscape.
- 3Morgan Stanley reports soft demand for iPhone 18 models▼Morgan Stanley: Channel checks indicate soft demand for iPhone 18 models
Morgan Stanley says its channel checks indicate soft demand for Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 models.

Researchers in South Africa report that wild African savanna elephants use more than 40 distinct physical gestures during competitive interactions, signalling others to move away or stop particular actions. The study found elephants check whether others are paying attention before gesturing and repeat signals when the first attempt fails, pointing to intentional communication.
- 5Finance teams spend over a quarter of the week verifying AI work▼AI verification eats up 26% of finance teams’ workweek: Datarails
Finance teams are spending about 26% of their workweek checking and verifying AI-generated outputs, according to research from financial planning platform Datarails. The finding points to a growing hidden cost of AI adoption in corporate finance: while AI tools speed up analysis and reporting, staff must review results for accuracy before they can be used, offsetting some of the expected time savings.
- 6AI tested on building codes in 119 cities for greener construction●Can AI read the rules for greener buildings? We put it to work in 119 cities
World Bank researchers have tested whether artificial intelligence can read and interpret building regulations, running experiments across 119 cities worldwide. The work explores how AI could help make building codes easier to apply and push construction toward greener standards. By automating analysis of complex rules, the project points to faster, more consistent compliance checks for sustainable building practices across many jurisdictions.
