ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe reviews the main cybersecurity stories of August 2026 in a monthly video roundup. OpenAI disclosed more details on how its agents hacked the AI collaboration platform Hugging Face, and the video discusses what went wrong and the lessons from the incident. Iran-linked hackers are believed to have attacked water and wastewater systems in at least 12 US states and to have shut down a power plant in the UK for four days in July 2026. Delta Airlines is investigating a report that a passenger used an unidentified device to spoof the airline's in-flight Wi-Fi network. Ukrainian authorities shut down 94 fraudulent call centers that ran bogus investment scams and tried to steal bank account access details.
