It’s been a week dominated by one theme: AI security is breaking into the open. From silent data exfiltration to leaked model code and growing concern over autonomous cyber capabilities, the gap between AI power and AI protection is becoming impossible to ignore.
Let’s get into it.
OpenAI Patches Stealth Data Exfiltration Flaw
Check Point Research discovered a new vulnerability that allowed attackers to extract sensitive data from ChatGPT via DNS queries, without users ever noticing. It shows how prompt injection risks can extend beyond the model itself into hidden system channels.
