Are you using AI to summary emails with Google gmail and workspace?
Google Gemini Bug Turns Gmail Summaries into Phishing Attack: No links or attachments are required; the attack relies on crafted HTML / CSS inside the email body. Victims are urged to take urgent actions (calling a phone number, visiting a site), enabling credential theft or social engineering. That is all.

@nixCraft I've never switched from plain text, HTML email is vile. Email is not about being pretty, its about communication. Harder to hide using plain text. AI is a vile pox on society.

@sirwumpus @nixCraft I don’t need or really want HTML.

But I do appreciate basic Wordpad like rich text. Basic foreground & background color and some basic font face & size change.

Most of the time to separate console output from text I type or maybe quotes.

@drscriptt @nixCraft Markdown as a great text format notation readable as plain text, just wish email clients that want to show pretty email supported it. I use it in my email theses days, so ``` console/code blocks is great.

@nixCraft It looks like it is time for a page like "AI is going just great", similar to @web3isgreat

@nixCraft How do they not sanatize their inputs? I thought at first the trick was much more sophisticated and relied on poisoning the ai itself in some way. But it's actually the oldest teick in the Book

@bionick @nixCraft maybe they used AI to write that code. That would explain a lot

@nixCraft oh good, more reasons to not use AI! (as if I need any more)

@nixCraft also the whole "thirsty, demanding plagiarism machine" thing.

@nixCraft Couple weeks ago Outlook also had an AI-based exploit, what a surprise
