More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega
ICANN's new round of top-level domain applications reaches 1,615, with AI and crypto domains becoming a hot spot.

OpenAI applied for 15 domains, including .gpt and .chatgpt. Anthropic applied for .claude. Crypto domains such as .BTC and .BNB also had multiple applicants.
Justin Drake: Activate 'Guard Mode' to Protect Crypto Assets from AI Threats
Justin Drake, a senior researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, recently issued a warning that AI could "crack" elliptic curve cryptography within months. He called on the entire crypto industry, especially large entities, to activate "defense mode" and migrate most of their crypto assets to new wallets suitable for deep cold storage, in order to protect assets from the impending threat of AI breakthroughs. Drake emphasized that creating and storing most digital tokens in new "defense" wallets that have never signed a transaction will help digital asset owners stay safe during the first attack. He also mentioned that BTC holders who follow this best practice should avoid reusing addresses. Drake believes that the threat from AI is imminent, and although he does not recommend immediately moving funds to new wallets, the risk of AI-accelerated mathematics to cryptography should be taken seriously, and exposure to cryptography that may be threatened by AI should be minimized.

Geoff Kendrick: Expects the foreign exchange market to shift toward stablecoins by 2030.
According to Cointelegraph, Geoff Kendrick predicts that by 2030, the entire foreign exchange market may shift to stablecoins.

Splunk MCP server and protocol vulnerabilities raise security concerns.
According to CoinWorld news, Forkast reported that Splunk's Model Context Protocol (MCP) has quickly become the standard for connecting AI agents with enterprise data, with monthly downloads exceeding 500 million and nearly 16,000 public servers. With the official release of the Splunk MCP server in the first quarter of 2026, AI agents can now directly access core enterprise observability data, such as logs, alerts, and dashboards. However, this integration also introduces security risks. Clawsecure disclosed that the MCP specification has a critical vulnerability that attackers can exploit to gain control. This vulnerability allows anyone with write permissions to turn the integration into a data exfiltration channel. The Splunk MCP server itself also has a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-76404), affecting versions before 1.2.1, and requires immediate upgrading to fix.
