CloudSEK Research Reveals How AI Summarising Tools Can Be Tricked Using Prompt Injection-Based Attacks
CloudSEK, a cybersecurity firm, highlighted that artificial intelligence (AI) summarising tools can be tricked into carrying out commands of threat actors using benign CSS tricks. These tricks usually involve using hidden text in emails, messages, weblinks, and web pages.
