AI Agents Leak Data, Fall For Phishing & More

This week, we’re seeing a pattern emerge across the industry when it comes to AI. Anthropic is dealing with restrictions on its newest model put in place by the US government. Researchers tricked AI agents into handing over credentials and customer data and Microsoft unfortunately is once again cleaning up after a supply chain compromise. AI is obviously getting more capable but it is also creating entirely new security problems that we all have to come to terms with and I’ll be talking about this and much more on this week’s episode.
