Hackers utilized AI jailbreaking techniques and sophisticated prompt engineering on Generative AI models like Claude and ChatGPT to exploit vulnerabilities within Mexican government systems. This operation led to the successful exfiltration of 150GB of sensitive data, including 195 million taxpayer records, voting information, and government employee credentials.

Prompt injection attacks, particularly indirect prompt injection, pose critical enterprise security vulnerabilities by allowing attackers to manipulate Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents. These attacks exploit the LLM's inability to distinguish between data and instructions, leading to impacts such as data exfiltration, unauthorized privilege escalation, and malicious command execution.

Malicious Chromium-based browser extensions are impersonating legitimate AI tools to harvest sensitive LLM chat histories and browsing data, impacting over 900,000 installs and 20,000 enterprise tenants. These extensions exfiltrate proprietary code, internal workflows, and confidential data to threat actor-controlled infrastructure, leading to widespread information leakage.

OpenAI confirmed a data breach originating from unauthorized access to Mixpanel, a third-party web analytics provider it uses for its API product. This incident exposed names, email addresses, approximate locations, OS/browser data, and user IDs associated with OpenAI API accounts (platform.openai.com users), but did not compromise ChatGPT content, passwords, or payment details.

A March 2023 vulnerability in the Redis open-source library temporarily exposed ChatGPT users' chat titles, messages, and potentially payment information. Beyond platform vulnerabilities, users face risks from prompt injection attacks that bypass LLM guardrails and the utilization of AI by threat actors to generate malware, phishing templates, and deepfakes.

A data breach at OpenAI resulted in the exposure of API user information. This incident necessitates prompt action from affected users to secure accounts and rotate API keys to prevent unauthorized access.

A remotely exploitable zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2025-37899, has been discovered in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) protocol using OpenAI's o3 model. This critical flaw is identified as a use-after-free bug in the SMB 'logoff' command handler, allowing an object to be freed while still accessible by another thread.
