Your AI reads the small print, and that’s an issue. This week in episode 433 of “Smashing Safety” we dig into LegalPwn – malicious directions tucked into code feedback and disclaimers that sweet-talks AI into rubber-stamping harmful payloads (and even pretending they’re a innocent calculator).
In the meantime, new analysis from Anthropic reveals that hackers have already used AI gents to interrupt into networks, steal passwords, sift by way of stolen knowledge, and even write customized ransom notes. In different phrases, one hacker with an AI helper can work like a complete crew of cybercriminals.
Plus: a joyous geek detour into keyboard historical past, and essentially the most diabolically annoying, absolutely purposeful AI-generated CAPTCHA that you’ll like to inflict in your pals.
All this and far more is mentioned within the newest version of the award-winning “Smashing Safety” podcast with pc safety veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by Mark Stockley.
Warning: This podcast could include nuts, grownup themes, and impolite language.
