Forget Deepfakes or Phishing: Prompt Injection is GenAI’s Biggest Problem

As troubling as deepfakes and large language model (LLM)-powered phishing are to the state of cybersecurity today, the truth is that the buzz around these risks may be overshadowing some of the bigger risks around generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Cybersecurity professionals and technology innovators need to be thinking less about the threats from GenAI and more about the threats to GenAI from attackers who know how to pick apart the design weaknesses and flaws in these systems.Chief among these pressing adversarial AI threat vectors is prompt injection, a method of

Meta to deploy custom AI chips alongside AMD, Nvidia GPUs

Lawsuit Targets Genshin Impact Hackers ‘Akebi Group’ & ‘Crepe Team’

Over the past couple of years, Genshin Impact publisher Cognosphere has been to court several times in the United States hoping to identify those who leak unreleased content online (1,2,3,4,5). What happens when leakers are identified is mostly unknown.
