🔒 A Chinese-speaking hacker used the ARTEX AI penetration testing suite and Claude agents to target multiple South Korean banks, including Shinhan, KB Kookmin, and Hana. CrowdStrike investigators found attacker infrastructure containing Claude session histories, ARTEX configs, and memory files that linked the incidents to previous financial-sector breaches. The exposure included clients' personal and credit card data and caused outages, prompting an emergency government response and calls for stronger protections for critical IT systems.

🛠️ The AWS Model Context Protocol Server (AWS MCP Server) now supports a serverless capability enabling coding agents like Claude Code and Kiro to diagnose AWS Lambda functions and connected resources. The capability lets agents inspect Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and Step Functions, correlate errors against a 7-day baseline, surface recurring errors, retrieve deployed configurations, provide change timelines, and analyze latency. It reduces token usage by aggregating comprehensive data in a single call. The MCP Server is available via the Agent Toolkit for AWS or as a standalone installation and can access services in all commercial AWS Regions while running in US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Frankfurt).

🛡️ Anthropic expanded its Compliance API on August 11, 2026, to include local session transcript endpoints for Claude Code, improving visibility into what endpoint AI agents do. The new endpoints log text, tool_use, and tool_result blocks, capturing prompts, bash commands, reads/writes, and MCP interactions. However, transcripts alone don't prove intent or legitimacy, so organizations should combine managed settings, Compliance API logs, and endpoint telemetry like OpenTelemetry and EDR to form a practical governance model. Treat session transcripts as sensitive data and apply retention and detection controls.

🔔 Anthropic says it will permanently raise Claude Code's standard weekly limits by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans, but that follows a temporary 50% boost that ends September 13.
