New #attack on #ChatGPT research agent pilfers secrets from #Gmail #inboxes

The face-palm-worthy #prompt injections against #AI assistants continue. Today’s installment hits #OpenAI ’s #DeepResearch agent. Researchers recently devised an attack that plucked #confidential information out of a user’s Gmail inbox and sent it to an attacker-controlled web server, with no interaction required on the part of the victim and no sign of exfiltration.

The account by the #whistleblower, Charles Borges, underscores concerns that have led to lawsuits seeking to block young software engineers at the agency built by #ElonMusk from having access to #confidential government #data. In his complaint, Borges said #DOGE members copied the data to an internal agency server that only DOGE could access, forgoing the type of “independent security monitoring” normally required under agency policy for such sensitive data & creating “enormous vulnerabilities.”

🤣 Ah, the ol' "let's reinvent #Linux for #confidential VMs" trick. Because clearly, privacy in the cloud is just one more buzzword away from solving all our problems. 🚀 Maybe next time, we'll tackle world peace with a kernel patch. 🙄

🌗 我們為何從 Neon 遷移至 PlanetScale
➤ 在機密運算中，可靠性與可觀察性是關鍵
✤ https://blog.opensecret.cloud/why-we-migrated-from-neon-to-planetscale/
OpenSecret 團隊分享了他們從 Neon 資料庫遷移到 PlanetScale 的經驗，指出 Neon 在其機密運算平臺 Maple AI 的穩定性與可觀察性方面出現了嚴峻問題。尤其是在 Neon 被收購期間，多次的資料庫中斷導致服務無法運行，進而促使他們尋求更可靠的解決方案。PlanetScale 以其穩定性、優秀的可觀察性工具、以及更具成本效益的定價模式贏得了青睞，此次遷移不僅零停機完成，更顯著提升了平臺的效能與可靠度。
+ 看到他們的資料庫在 Neon 被收購時就出問題，真是讓人捏一把冷汗。幸好他們及時止損，換到 PlanetScale 解決了根本問題。
+ 能夠在不解密資料的情況下進行效能優化，這正是機密運算架構所需的可觀察性，PlanetScale

Why We Migrated from Neon to PlanetScale

In May 2025, during the same week Neon announced their acquisition, our databases went down four times. For hours. Database spin-ups, their entire value proposition, were completely disabled.
