- 1NASA turns to AI to mine decades of scientific data▼At NASA, AI is helping scientists unlock discoveries hidden in decades of data
NASA scientists are using artificial intelligence to comb through decades of archived data, surfacing discoveries that earlier analysis missed. A report by Microsoft highlights how machine learning tools are being applied to the space agency's vast historical datasets, helping researchers find new patterns and insights in old missions. The work illustrates a growing trend of AI-assisted science at major research institutions.
- 2OpenAI and Microsoft researchers warn of AI 'doom loop' consuming the web▼‘Doom Loop’: OpenAI and Microsoft Admits LLMs Are Destroying the Web and Built on Theft
Researchers at OpenAI and Microsoft have published a paper describing a 'doom loop' in which large language models, trained on data scraped largely without consent from human creators, degrade the open web and eventually poison their own training data. The paper reportedly acknowledges that people will come to see the models' wholesale ingestion of creative work as an unprecedented act of theft, reigniting debate over copyright and the sustainability of generative AI.
- 3Microsoft launches Quine, an AI system built for biology research●Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology
Microsoft has introduced Quine, an AI research system designed to handle the complexity of biology. The company says the system is intended to support biological research at scale, though details about its capabilities and applications remain limited to the initial announcement.
- 4New Windows NCSI proxy authentication flaw detailed by researchers▼Microsoft Windows NCSI Cross-Context Proxy Authentication Coercion - ZDI-26-708 - Part 1: https:// pgj11.com/posts/Windo
Security researchers have published a two-part technical write-up of a Windows vulnerability tracked as ZDI-26-708, described as a cross-context proxy authentication coercion in the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI). The disclosure is circulating among security professionals sharing the detailed analysis. Details on affected versions and patches remain unclear from the discussion so far.
- 5Microsoft Research Unveils Quine, a Multimodal Biology World Model●Microsoft Research Debuts Quine, a Multimodal World Model of Biology
Microsoft Research has introduced Quine, a multimodal world model designed for biology, unveiled through a report by Unite.AI. The system is described as a world model, meaning it aims to simulate and understand biological processes rather than just a single task. Details on its capabilities, benchmarks, and availability remain limited in initial coverage, and Microsoft has not yet been widely quoted on plans for the model.
- 6Microsoft details NeedyMantis malware used in targeted attacks●Posted yesterday, if you missed this. Microsoft: NeedyMantis: Unpacking a post-compromise malware family used in targete
Microsoft has published an analysis of NeedyMantis, a malware family deployed after attackers have already breached a network, with use in targeted operations against specific victims. The report breaks down how the malware behaves once inside a compromised environment. Security researchers and practitioners are sharing the findings, warning organisations to review the indicators of compromise Microsoft disclosed.
- 7Microsoft-linked network spotted announcing IP space from Oslo●ASN: AS8075 Location: Oslo, NO Added: 2026-09-25T18:01 # shodansafari # infosec
Autonomous System 8075, the network operated by Microsoft, was observed announcing IP address space located in Oslo, Norway. The observation was logged and shared on 25 September 2026 with the cybersecurity community under the tag #shodansafari. This type of sighting is used by security researchers to track how large cloud and technology providers extend their network presence into new regions and data centre locations.
