Microsoft Says AI Agents Cannot Be Trusted and Could Become Insider Security Threats Details: cybersecuritynews.com/ai-mod… Microsoft warns organizations to treat AI agents as potential insider risks not because they are automatically malicious, but because they can access company data, apps, and tools and act on that access at high speed. The warning, published on October 19, 2026, comes as businesses use agents to handle tasks such as writing code, reviewing documents, and processing expenses. An agent’s actions can change as its instructions, data, or working context change. It may make a mistake, follow harmful directions hidden in a document, or be compromised. #cybersecuritynews
