Apple Intelligence flaw kept stolen tokens reusable on another device
Apple claims that Apple Intelligence, a GenAI service provided on its operating systems, is designed with an extra focus on user security and privacy through a two-stage authentication and authorization system using anonymous access tokens. However, researchers from The Ohio State University have identified vulnerabilities in this design, demonstrated on macOS 26.0 (Tahoe), that allow…

Browser Extensions Are the New AI Consumption Channel That No One Is Talking About
While much of the discussion on AI security centers around protecting ‘shadow’ AI and GenAI consumption, there’s a wide-open window nobody’s guarding: AI browser extensions. A new report from LayerX exposes just how deep this blind spot goes, and why AI extensions may be the most dangerous AI threat surface in your network that isn’t on anyone’s

This problem might not need a solution: customer-service bots that code for free
Why bother paying for your own generative AI (genAI) tokens when you can have the computations done for free using a competitor’s AI-powered customer service bot? That question is at the heart of a CIO.com report that explores the trend and various ways to block it. It’s possible the best response to this kind of…

Prompt injection tags along as GenAI enters daily government use
Routine use of GenAI has moved into daily operations in state and territorial government environments, placing new security risks within common workflows. A Center for Internet Security (CIS) report, Prompt Injections: The Inherent Threat to Generative AI, identifies prompt injection as a persistent concern tied to that adoption. Adoption expands exposure Use of AI tools…

GenAI Alone Isn’t Enough: Rethinking AI in Cybersecurity
As organizations accelerate their AI adoption, many are turning to generative AI (GenAI) as a cornerstone of their security strategy. But according to Melissa Ruzzi, Director of AI at AppOmni, relying on GenAI alone may create more gaps than it solves. “GenAI is non-deterministic and language-focused, so it’s not the most appropriate tool in certain…

Google Workspace’s continuous approach to mitigating indirect prompt injections
Posted by Adam Gavish, Google GenAI Security Team Indirect prompt injection (IPI) is an evolving threat vector targeting users of complex AI applications with multiple data sources, such as Workspace with Gemini. This technique enables the attacker to influence the behavior of an LLM by injecting malicious instructions into the data or tools used by…

AI project ‘failure’ has little to do with AI
Reports galore about AI project failures suggest that generative AI (genAI) and Agentic AI are not yet ready for enterprise use. Although there is truth to that, enterprise AI project failures are rarely because of faulty algorithms and models. More often than not, management simply doesn’t understand the technology. Let’s define failure. In the context…
