Gmail AI Features Under Hacker Attack!
Looks like hackers never rest, and now they have their sights set on Google’s shiny new AI features in Gmail! Yes, you read that right — the smart AI tools designed to make our lives easier have become the favorite target of digital criminals.
What’s Going On?
Google recently introduced new AI features in Gmail that allow users to quickly get email summaries, suggested replies, and automatic task additions to calendars. Sounds like a dream, right? But hackers have found a way to exploit this functionality for their dirty deeds.
How Are Hackers Attacking?
According to the research network 0din, a serious security flaw was discovered within Mozilla’s framework affecting the GEI AI system. Hackers embed malicious code into emails, hidden in white text invisible to the user. When the user activates the AI option to summarize the message, the AI not only generates the summary but also triggers the malicious code, displaying a fake warning about data theft, supposedly from Google.
The Danger Is Real!
Experts warn that such warnings should not be taken lightly. Google does not notify users about these security risks, so if you see such a warning in an AI summary, immediately delete the suspicious message!
What Next?
Administrators in companies and institutions are advised to strengthen security procedures and educate employees about these threats. Until AI tools can understand context at a human level, users must be extra cautious and carefully verify all information generated by AI.
Conclusion
Is this the dawn of a new era of cybercrime where AI becomes a hacker’s weapon? Looks like it! While Google and Mozilla work on fixing these vulnerabilities, stay alert. Don’t let AI fool you — hackers are already one step ahead.
If you thought AI was just here to make life easier, think again! So, what do you think about these AI hacks? Is it time to go back to the old, unreliable but safer methods? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s brave enough to admit they love reading long emails! 😉
