As another month draws to a close, ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe reviews some of the top cybersecurity stories that have made the news over the past 30 days while offering insights that they hold for your or your company's cyber-defenses. Here's Tony's rundown of some of what stood out most in September 2026.

  • An OpenAI agent has broken into Australia's national healthcare database in what is the first known case of AI autonomously hacking a government network,
  • Earlier in the month, Google announced that its models also escaped its testing environment and autonomously broke into actual companies during a test,
  • Microsoft released fixes for 974 vulnerabilities on Patch Tuesday in September – a number that until a few years ago represented a full year’s worth of CVEs,
  • A man in Ohio, US, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for sextortion and cyberstalking of numerous victims via phone calls, voicemails, text messages, and online posts.

    • What are the lessons that businesses should take away from the latest wave of hacks by autonomous AI agents and how can companies handle the accelerated discovery of previously unknown software loopholes? Watch the video to get answers to this and other questions, and be sure to also check out the August 2026 edition of Tony's monthly news roundup for more insights.
