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.

Google's Med-Gemini AI Hallucinates Non-Existent Body Part in Brain Scan
In a 2024 research paper, Google's Med-Gemini AI model generated a radiology report diagnosing an 'old left basilar ganglia infarct', a non-existent body part conflating the basal ganglia and basilar artery. The error was not caught by Google before publication. After a neurologist flagged the mistake, Google quietly edited a blog post to correct the term, calling it a typo, but the research paper remains unchanged. Experts warn that such hallucinations pose significant risks if doctors fail to notice them in clinical settings.

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.
