Axios says multiple major US banks have discovered unauthorized third-party AI Agents appearing in customer accounts

Axios reported that U.S. banks such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citi found unauthorized third-party AI Agents in customer accounts, some of which attempted to initiate operations on their own without user instructions. Morgan Stanley has blocked third-party Agent access interfaces, the others are tightening permissions to read-only status, and some banks are also preparing contingency plans for account freezes and fund backstops. Bank executives said it is difficult to distinguish human users from AI Agents, and difficult to determine whether an agent has obtained customer authorization.

Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to the Agentic AI Foundation

Anthropic announced that it is donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation, which previously also received MCP.

Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to Agentic AI Foundation

Anthropic announced that it is donating the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, in order to keep it open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral. The AAIF was co-founded last year by Anthropic along with Block and OpenAI, and the MCP specification had previously been donated to this foundation as well. Simon Willison noted that he had predicted this development last December, and used the MCP plugin on simonwillison.net to retrieve that prediction of his from that time.

Agentic AI Foundation Adds Four Projects, Hosted Projects Reach 10 in First Year

The Agentic AI Foundation announced on October 22, 2026 the addition of four hosted projects: Agent Skills contributed by Anthropic, Open Responses contributed by OpenAI, OpenEnv contributed by Hugging Face, and OpenSandbox contributed by Alibaba, bringing the total number of hosted projects from 3 at its founding in December 2025 to 10. The four projects correspond to four layers: agents acquiring skills, applications invoking models across vendors, agent training and evaluation, and secure agent operation. Agent Skills is open-sourced under Apache 2.0 and CC BY 4.0, already supported by more than 70 agent platforms, with over 1 million skills published and nearly 280 million installs; Open Responses defines shared schemas and streaming events based on the OpenAI Responses API, with implementations already provided by Databricks Model Serving and Vercel AI Gateway.

Cursor Discloses Malicious Claude Code Extension in Marketplace Attempting to Plant SSH Backdoor

On October 29, 2026, Cursor disclosed that a maliciously tampered version 2.1.313 of the Anthropic.claude-code extension appeared in its VS Code extension Marketplace. The package was not developed by Anthropic and attempts to install a persistent SSH backdoor, affecting up to 5,000 users. This version was downloadable on that day from approximately 2:27 to 13:35 (Pacific Time). It collects host and user information, writes the attacker's SSH public key into authorized_keys, and establishes a reverse tunnel, while also achieving persistence through a LaunchAgent or scheduled task. Cursor has removed the version, shut down and rebuilt the Marketplace, and published indicators including hashes and IP 134.209.82.225, as well as cleanup scripts for macOS and Windows.

OpenAI Doubles Pro Plan Quotas; Article Reviews Backend Token Consumption of AI Coding Tools

OpenAI product lead Tibo announced that usage limits for the Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500, and Business Premium plans have all been doubled, and that the quota reduction for Pro 200 has been withdrawn; Pro 500 can get usage equivalent to 50 times that of Plus. The article notes that this falls on day 25 of OpenAI's 28-day improvement plan, and some Pro 200 users believe it merely cancels a planned reduction rather than adding new benefits. The article also reviews the hidden token consumption caused by backend sub-agent status summaries in Codex and Claude Code; an Anthropic engineer said that agent_summary, at API list prices, accounts for about 2% of total cost, and that the issue of missed prompt caching has been fixed in Claude Code 2.1.311 and later versions.
