MaliciousCorgi: The cute-looking AI extensions leaking code from 1.5 million developers
Source | By Tuval Admoni — January 22, 2026
Security researchers at Koi uncovered two popular VS Code extensions—“ChatGPT – 中文版” and “ChatMoss (CodeMoss)”—that secretly exfiltrate entire files and detailed user telemetry to servers in China, with a server-controlled backdoor for mass harvesting. Beyond normal autocomplete context, they monitor files in real time and run hidden analytics to profile developers. If you’ve installed them, delete the extensions, rotate any exposed credentials, and audit outbound traffic.
Spielwelten per Mausklick: Googles neues KI-Tool lässt Gaming-Aktien purzeln

Google’s experimental Project Genie can generate short, interactive environments from text or images, and its debut coincided with sharp stock drops for Take-Two, Roblox, and Unity, per Reuters. The tech is early—experiences are capped at ~60 seconds, lack mechanics/sound, and can’t be exported to engines—so some analysts see the selloff as an overreaction. Still, Genie hints at rapid prototyping gains that could streamline parts of game development over time.
Gemini might finally fix one of the reasons why I haven’t switched yet

Google is testing a Gemini feature to import chat histories from other AI tools like ChatGPT, easing the pain of switching platforms while preserving context. The leak also points to higher-resolution image downloads (2K and 4K), with a “Best for print” option for creators. Not live yet, but this could accelerate user migration and make multi-bot workflows far more fluid.
