    Microsoft’s excuse is that many of these attacks require an insider.

    Sure we made phishing way easier, more dangerous, and more subtle; but it was the user’s fault for trusting our Don’t Trust Anything I Say O-Matic workplace productivity suite!

    Edit: and really from the demos it looks like a user wouldn’t have to do anything at all besides write “summarize my emails” once. No need to click on anything for confidential info to be exfiltrated if the chatbot can already download arbitrary URLs based on the prompt injection!

      We’re gonna see a whole lotta data breaches in the upcoming months - calling it right now.

    I was particularly proud of finding that MS office worker photo, of all the MS office worker photos I’ve seen that one absolutely carries the most MS stench

    Yeah, if you leave a web-connected resource open to the internet, then you create a vulnerability for leaking data to the internet. No shit. Just like other things that you don’t want public, you have to set it to not be open to the internet.

      no matter how you hold it, you’re holding it wrong:

      “It’s kind of funny in a way - if you have a bot that’s useful, then it’s vulnerable. If it’s not vulnerable, it’s not useful,” Bargury said.
