While it was demonstrated on the Comet Browser’s built-in AI agent, the bigger story is that this type of attack could hit any AI-enabled browser or tool that mixes untrusted content with privileged access. How CometJacking Works: Comet is marketed as an “AI-native” browser. Instead of just displaying websites, it runs a built-in assistant that can read your email, calendar, documents, and other connected services to help you work. A malicious link can hide a prompt-injection payload that ...

But just like a shiny new hammer can build a house or smash a window, AI has two sides. And unfortunately, the darker side is starting to make headlines. Recently, cybersecurity researchers uncovered what they believe could be the world’s first AI-powered ransomware, a malicious program called PromptLock. Unlike traditional ransomware, which is manually coded by human hackers, PromptLock uses an AI model to automatically write and execute malicious scripts. Think of it like a criminal having a tireless...
