OWASP just published a Top 10 for agentic AI skills, covering malicious packages, supply-chain compromise, and over-privileged manifests across OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code.

Possum found in Hobart Airport gift shop soft toy section

A real possum nestled among soft toys and animals in a gift shop has thrilled passengers — but caused "pandemonium" after going on a sightseeing tour of the departure lounge.
