Hot Take:

Why worry about humans hacking your data when you can have your very own AI browser do it for you? SquareX’s recent research highlights that AI browsers like Comet are more like your clumsy intern than a savvy assistant, as they might just hand over your sensitive information to cybercriminals with a smile and a wave!

Key Points:

  • SquareX exposes critical vulnerabilities in AI browsers, potentially leading to data breaches.
  • Major players like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google are venturing into the AI browser market.
  • Examples include Comet falling victim to OAuth attacks, leading to unauthorized data access.
  • Current security solutions struggle to differentiate between user and AI browser activities.
  • Collaboration between enterprises, developers, and cybersecurity firms is crucial for safe AI browsing.
