Summary
AI cybersecurity concerns are nothing new. “As AI becomes more and more widely used—especially when AI is more and more widely used to automate our work flows, like account recovery—I think attackers are going to be more and more motivated to attack AI itself,” says Neil Gong, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke University. Gong and other scholars have been issuing warnings about the security vulnerabilities of AI agents for a while. Meta has not commented publicly on how this vulnerability slipped through the cracks.
