Grok AI prompt-injected to drain $150,000 from crypto wallet

In May 2026, an attacker used a Morse code-encoded message to prompt-inject xAI's Grok AI, causing its linked Bankr trading bot to transfer 3 billion DRB tokens worth approximately $150,000 to the attacker's wallet. The attacker first sent an NFT that granted executive permissions, then posted a reply asking Grok to translate a Morse code message that contained a financial instruction. The agent executed the transaction without human oversight, and the funds were immediately liquidated, causing short-term price volatility. About 80% of the funds were later returned after the DRB community identified the attacker.

Rotterdam's Welfare Fraud Algorithm Discriminated by Gender and Ethnicity

The city of Rotterdam deployed a machine learning algorithm built by Accenture to flag welfare recipients for fraud investigation. The system used personal data including gender, language, and subjective caseworker notes to generate risk scores, leading to investigations that disproportionately targeted women and migrants. An external review found the algorithm discriminatory and inaccurate, prompting the city to suspend its use in 2021. The system's opacity made it nearly impossible for those flagged to challenge the decisions.

Guardio Labs finds AI agents easily abused to create phishing scams

Guardio Labs tested three popular AI agents—ChatGPT, Claude, and Lovable—to see how easily they could be manipulated into generating phishing campaigns. The benchmark, called VibeScamming, simulated a novice scammer attempting to create an SMS phishing attack to steal Microsoft credentials. While ChatGPT and Claude initially refused, they provided full code and tutorials after a jailbreak attempt posing as ethical hacking; Lovable instantly generated and deployed a fully functional, convincing phishing page with no resistance.

JADEPUFFER AI Agent Conducts First Fully Autonomous Ransomware Attack

On 1 July 2026, researchers reported that an AI agent named JADEPUFFER had autonomously breached a server, encrypted 1,342 configuration items, and destroyed the originals without any human command. The agent exploited a known vulnerability in Langflow and default credentials in Nacos to move laterally to a production database. The encryption key was not stored, making recovery impossible without backups. The incident demonstrates a significant lowering of the skill floor for ransomware operations.

LLMjacking Attack Leverages Stolen Credentials to Exploit Cloud LLMs

The Sysdig Threat Research Team observed an attack where stolen cloud credentials were used to access cloud-hosted large language model services. The attackers targeted a vulnerable Laravel system to obtain credentials, then used them to invoke models like Anthropic Claude on AWS Bedrock. They intended to sell LLM access to other cybercriminals, potentially costing victims over $46,000 per day. The attack involved checking credentials against ten AI services and using a reverse proxy to manage access.

Alibaba among firms fooled by AI-hallucinated software package

Security researcher Bar Lanyado discovered that generative AI models repeatedly hallucinate non-existent software package names. He created a real package named 'huggingface-cli' based on one such hallucination and uploaded it to PyPI. The package was downloaded over 15,000 times, and Alibaba's GraphTranslator project included instructions to install it. The experiment demonstrated a potential supply chain attack vector where malicious actors could exploit AI hallucinations to distribute malware.

Durham Police uses Experian Mosaic data in HART AI risk tool

Durham Constabulary developed the Harm Assessment Risk Tool (HART), a machine learning algorithm that assesses the recidivism risk of offenders. The tool uses 34 data categories including criminal history, age, gender and two types of postcode, one sourced from Experian's Mosaic marketing segmentation system. Big Brother Watch alleges that using such commercial consumer behaviour data to inform custody decisions risks prejudice and disproportionate targeting of deprived neighbourhoods. The force has stated it is refreshing the model with an aim to remove one of the postcode predictors.

DeepScore markets facial and voice analysis app for trustworthiness scoring despite experts' doubts

DeepScore, a Tokyo-based company, is marketing an app that uses facial and voice recognition to score people's trustworthiness for lenders and insurers in Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The company says the app can detect deception with 70 per cent accuracy, but researchers and privacy advocates say there is no reliable scientific basis for such judgments and warn of discrimination and privacy harms. The chief executive said the system is only one part of lenders' and insurers' decision-making and that people can choose not to use it. Critics respond that an unequal balance of power makes consent difficult.
