AI Browser: Be careful, your data can be hacked like this due to Perplexity AI..

It is the age of AI, but it is also important to be cautious. AI Browsers are becoming increasingly popular among people, but recently, a new report has revealed a security flaw in Perplexity AI's Comet browser. Due to this security flaw, hackers can steal your personal information, such as your email address and login credentials. A blog post by Brave states that the flaw in the browser is related to the AI ​​assistant-processed webpage. Compared to a normal browser, Comet helps the user to summarize the content with the assistant given in the browser.

If a user visits a webpage through this browser in which hackers have inserted hidden instructions and takes help to summarize the content with the help of the assistant given in the browser, then the users get trapped in the trap laid by the hackers. This attack, done by the hacker, also becomes dangerous because it is capable of neutralizing the security of a normal web page.

Experts say that this attack is a bit different because hackers do not need advanced coding, and they can also attack through commands in natural language. This is quite surprising, now a serious threat has emerged regarding AI tools, because sensitive information like bank accounts and emails of users can be stolen without consent.

The danger remains

Perplexity may have claimed that the flaw found in the AI ​​browser has been fixed, but Brave's report mentions that the solution is still incomplete. This is the reason why they have reported this problem once again. This incident emphasizes that even though AI tools are being integrated into browsers for the convenience of users, it is very important to strengthen their security.
