en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google warns that malicious groups are impersonating IT professionals, primarily targeting enterprises in the legal, financial, and professional services sectors, to steal financial data both remotely and on-site. Criminals send emails about invoices or data migrations, then follow up with phone calls pretending to be IT support, asking employees to join screen-sharing sessions or install remote access software. They may even visit in person to use USB devices or other hardware to infiltrate systems, gaining access to sensitive information such as financial records, tax documents, and legal agreements. Google advises organizations to verify IT support requests and remain vigilant against any unsolicited phone calls or emails requesting screen-sharing sessions.
Financial operations platform Ramp has announced the launch of a new AI-powered accounting platform, "Ramp Stack," along with $750 million in new funding. Ramp Stack is an AI operating system built for accounting firms, automating workflows such as month-end closing processes, cash reconciliation, and transaction coding, rather than functioning as a chatbot or assistant. Ramp is currently valued at $44 billion and plans to invest the new funding into AI, transforming into an AI-driven financial platform capable of automating accounting, procurement, bookkeeping, and other back-office functions. For businesses processing more than dozens of accounts payable transactions per week, these automation platforms rely on AI to allow repetitive transactions to flow through accounting systems with minimal or no human intervention.

This feature helps teams focus on other work and allows non-technical employees to create automations using natural language prompts.
Anthropic has announced the launch of Claude Fable 5, described as a "Mythos-level model" with enhanced safety protections. The model delivers Mythos-level performance on most tasks and includes extensive safety controls to prevent misuse. Fable 5 uses the same underlying architecture but incorporates guardrails that monitor requests for high-risk topics such as cybersecurity. For example, if a user asks how to hack a bank account, the system may automatically route the request to the less capable Claude Opus 4.8. An Anthropic spokesperson explained that due to prioritizing safety, the company intentionally adjusted the protections to remain cautious, noting they are still stricter than ideal.
