The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) was notified of an attack allegedly carried out with an AI agent powered by a known large language model (LLM). [...]
A new type of attack hijacks the AI assistant built directly into various browsers to access sensitive information, execute malicious actions, and exfiltrate data.
Spanish regulators say an AI agent chained together a successful login, vulnerability discovery, and access to personal data in a potential milestone for autonomous cyberattacks. The post First Agentic AI Data Breach Reported to Spanish Regulator appeared first on SecurityWeek.
