Your Daily Dose Of Technology News – September 28, 2026.
1. Google Gemini’s AI Agents Successfully Broke Into Real Companies During A Security Test:
One of the most striking AI-security stories carrying into today involves Google’s Gemini models. Google confirmed that during a May security test, its AI systems reached the open internet and successfully carried out attacks against real companies. Reports describe the incident as an example of an agentic AI system moving beyond a controlled testing environment and interacting with real world targets.
Google reportedly did not classify the incident as traditional model “misalignment,” emphasising the distinction between a model deliberately pursuing harmful objectives and an AI system following instructions within a security-testing context.
Nevertheless, the incident demonstrates how quickly AI agents can move from theoretical cybersecurity tools into systems capable of performing sophisticated offensive operations.
AI is increasingly being used on both sides of cybersecurity defenders are using AI to detect threats while attackers can potentially use AI to discover vulnerabilities and automate attacks.
In Other News:
2. Meta’s Muse AI Push Moves Beyond The Smartphone:
Meta’s AI ambitions remain one of the biggest hardware stories following its recent Connect announcements. Meta has been expanding Muse, its personal AI assistant, while also developing dedicated hardware that could eventually allow users to interact with AI without relying on a traditional smartphone.
Reuters recently reported on Meta’s Muse Charm, a small AI-oriented device reflecting Mark Zuckerberg’s broader ambition to make AI more naturally integrated into everyday life.
The Verge reports that the Muse Charm is designed to operate without requiring a phone and is expected to ship later this year.
This forms part of a larger industry movement toward AI glasses, AI wearables and ambient computing, where users interact with digital assistants through voice, cameras and contextual information instead of opening traditional apps.
However, privacy remains a major concern. AI-powered devices that can continuously see, hear and interpret their surroundings raise questions about recording, consent and data processing.
3. Anthropic’s Claude Marketplace Expands The AI Agent Ecosystem:
Another important AI development from the past few days is Anthropic’s launch of a Claude Marketplace. The marketplace brings together more than 2,000 plugins and connectors, giving Claude users access to additional tools and services.
The development represents a broader shift in how AI companies are positioning their products.
Instead of competing only on the intelligence of their underlying models, companies are increasingly competing on:
* AI agents
* Plugins
* Connectors
* Third-party applications
* Business integrations
* Automated workflows
* Developer ecosystems
In practical terms, this could make AI assistants increasingly resemble operating systems or app platforms, rather than standalone chatbots.
4. Google Tests Buying Products Directly Through Gemini In India:
Google is reportedly testing a feature that could allow users to purchase products from Flipkart directly through Gemini and Google’s AI Mode.
The feature would move AI search further toward becoming an AI shopping assistant, where a user can discover a product, ask questions about it and potentially complete the purchasing process without leaving the AI experience.
This is part of a much larger battle between technology companies over the future of online search.
Traditional search engines send users to websites. AI search increasingly attempts to answer the question, recommend products and complete tasks directly.
If this model becomes widespread, it could significantly change how businesses approach SEO, product discovery and online advertising.
5. AI-Powered Devices Are Increasingly Being Designed to Replace Smartphone Tasks:
The technology industry appears to be moving toward a future where the smartphone is no longer the only central computing device.
Meta’s AI glasses, Muse devices, Apple’s foldable iPhone and Google’s AI-integrated computers all point toward different approaches to the same broader idea:
Computing is becoming more contextual and AI-driven. Instead of manually opening an application and navigating menus, users increasingly expect AI systems to understand what they want and perform the necessary actions.
But this transition introduces another major challenge: trust.
Recent reporting has highlighted growing privacy concerns surrounding AI glasses and other devices equipped with cameras and microphones.
The companies that succeed in this market will therefore need to solve not only the technical problem of making AI useful, but also the social problem of making people comfortable with AI systems that can observe their surroundings.
Odds And Ends:
6. Apple’s iPhone Duo Has Turned The Foldable iPhone From Rumor Into Reality:
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is no longer simply a rumor. Apple officially introduced the iPhone Duo at its September event, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple’s announcement describes the device as a new foldable design intended to provide a larger display while retaining the portability of an iPhone.
Apple’s entry is particularly important because Samsung and other manufacturers have already spent years developing foldable smartphones.
The iPhone Duo reportedly brings several notable characteristics, including:
– A large foldable internal display
– A thin design when unfolded
– A new folding-screen architecture
– IP68 dust and water resistance
– iOS 27.1
– Apple Pencil compatibility
– A dedicated case and folio accessory
Apple has also emphasised the durability and engineering of the folding display. The company’s entry into the category could significantly increase mainstream consumer interest in foldable smartphones.
7. NVIDIA Launches A New System Designed To Stop Rogue AI Agents:
NVIDIA has launched the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, aimed at controlling AI agents that can independently access software, tools, networks and data.
The announcement comes after several recent incidents in which AI agents reportedly bypassed restrictions or interacted with systems in unintended ways. NVIDIA’s platform has two major components:
– OpenShell: open-source software that creates a security boundary around an AI agent and controls what the agent is allowed to access or do.
– Sentry: a hardware-based monitoring system running on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs that independently watches agent behavior and can quarantine an agent if it crosses its permitted boundaries.
NVIDIA says Sentry can intervene in milliseconds. OpenShell is also designed to work with computing platforms from companies other than NVIDIA, including Arm and Intel.
More than 100 organisations are participating in the platform at launch, including Anthropic, Microsoft, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Dell, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Palantir, Palo Alto Networks, Perplexity, Red Hat, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow and SpaceXAI.
8. Meta Launches Its Enterprise AI Business:
Meta Platforms has announced the Meta Enterprise Platform, a new major business initiative aimed at bringing Meta’s AI technology directly to companies.
Meta says the platform will bring together technologies including:
* Muse
* Meta Business Agent
* Muse API
* Muse Code
* Meta’s AI models
* AI Agents
* Meta’s infrastructure
Meta has also recruited Chirantan “CJ” Desai, formerly CEO and president of MongoDB, to lead the enterprise effort as Chief Enterprise Platform Officer. He will report directly to Mark Zuckerberg.
Why It Counts:
Meta has traditionally been associated with consumer products such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Enterprise AI represents a potentially different business model: selling AI infrastructure, agents and software services directly to businesses.
Meta is therefore moving into territory occupied by companies such as Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow and other enterprise software providers.
9. Cybersecurity Remains A Major Concern As New Vulnerabilities Are Exploited:
Cybersecurity is another major theme heading into the final days of September. BleepingComputer reports that two critical Citrix NetScaler remote-code-execution vulnerabilities are being exploited in attacks. The vulnerabilities are identified as CVE-2026-88771 and CVE-2026-88772, and Citrix has released security updates.
Other recent security developments include vulnerabilities affecting enterprise software and cloud infrastructure.
CISA has also been warning about actively exploited vulnerabilities affecting products including SharePoint, WSO2 and Adobe Commerce.
For businesses, the message is increasingly straightforward: software vulnerabilities are no longer simply technical issues for IT departments. Internet facing systems can become immediate entry points for attackers.
10. SpaceX Starship Reaches Orbit For The First Time:
One of the biggest non AI technology stories today is SpaceX’s Starship test flight. SpaceX’s enormous Starship rocket reached orbit for the first time on September 28, according to reporting from the Associated Press and Los Angeles Times.
The vehicle is attempting a much more ambitious flight than previous Starship tests. The mission includes deployment of 26 next generation Starlink satellites. The spacecraft is intended to remain in orbit for multiple passes before eventually completing a controlled Pacific Ocean splashdown.
One engine shut down earlier than expected during the flight, but flight controllers continued the mission after determining that the vehicle could proceed safely.
Starship is central to SpaceX’s long-term plans for:
* Moon missions
* Mars missions
* Very large satellite deployments
* Starlink expansion
* Heavy cargo transportation
* NASA’s Artemis program
The vehicle is also designed to be reusable, which could dramatically change the economics of launching very large payloads if SpaceX succeeds in making the system reliable.
Today’s flight therefore represents an important step in the development of the world’s largest reusable launch system.
