Microsoft Open-Sources RAMPART and Clarity to Secure AI Agents During Development
Microsoft has unveiled two new open-source tools called RAMPART and Clarity to assist developers in better testing the security of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. RAMPART, short for Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform for Agentic Red Teaming, functions as a Pytest-native safety and security testing framework for writing and running safety and security tests for AI agents, covering
Show HN: Dari-docs – Optimize your docs using parallel coding agents
It’s well known at this point that documentation needs to be optimized for AI agents - we’re all pointing our Claude Code / Codex / Pi agents at documentation, and expecting the models to figure out how to implement a product. This, however, changes the entire optimization problem when writing documentation. Good documentation now becomes more objective - you are solving the very concrete problem: can a dumb harness running the dumbest model implement this reliably? Humans can typically compensate for inconsistent terminology or scattered context across pages, but for agents, this often will waste time (or even just completely confuse the agent). We’ve been building a small project around this called dari-docs: users can upload their documentation via website or CLI and run agents across different providers to see where they falter. You can upload your documentation, feed a list of tasks, and ask agents with varying intelligence / cost levels to complete those tasks in parallel. When a

Designing a Multi-Agent System for Engineering Support at Scale: A Case Study From Grab
Grab’s Central Data Team built a multi-agent AI system to automate repetitive engineering support tasks across its data warehouse platform. The system separates investigation and enhancement workflows using specialized agents coordinated via an orchestration layer. It reduces operational load, improves resolution speed, and shifts engineering effort from firefighting to platform engineering work. By Leela Kumili
Microsoft Takes Down Malware-Signing Service Behind Ransomware Attacks
Microsoft on Tuesday said it disrupted a malware-signing-as-a-service (MSaaS) operation that weaponized the company's Artifact Signing system to deliver malicious code and conduct ransomware and other attacks, compromising thousands of machines and networks across the world. The tech giant attributed the activity to a threat actor it calls Fox Tempest, which it said offered the MSaaS scheme

Webworm Deploys EchoCreep and GraphWorm Backdoors Using Discord and MS Graph API
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged fresh activity from a China-aligned threat actor known as Webworm in 2025, deploying custom backdoors that employ Discord and Microsoft Graph API for command-and-control (C2 or C&C) communications. Webworm, first publicly documented by Broadcom-owned Symantec in September 2022, is assessed to be active since at least 2022, targeting government agencies
