The Geordie Perspective on Security Flaws

Aye, Microsoft’s been having a right mess, like. They discovered a security gap larger than the Tyne Tunnel in their 365 Copilot. Some clever individuals found a way to trick the AI into stealing tenant information, including emails. Not what you’d call a good time, eh?

Indirect Prompt Injection – Tech’s Version of a Shady Pint

This sneaky tactic, known as an indirect prompt injection attack, is like slipping a questionable pint into a night out and watching the mayhem unfold. Cybercriminals could deceive Copilot into revealing sensitive information. Bet the experts at Redmond were as embarrassed as a beetroot!

Microsoft’s Fix

Patch It or Patch Out

Redmond asserts they’ve placed a bandage on this issue, stating they’ve repaired this specific vulnerability. Well, it’s about time! Let’s hope this fix is more dependable than the Metro on a Toon match day.

Oops, We Did It Again

updated Microsoft believes they’ve addressed the security flaw in their 365 Copilot. This vulnerability permitted attackers to have a sneak peek at tenant data through indirect prompt injections. It’s as if they’ve finally caught on to what us Geordies have known all along – cover your assets, or deal with the fallout.

Mermaids and Blunders

Think of this like spotting a mermaid in the Tyne – surprising and somewhat bizarre. The good news is, they’ve rectified it. Let’s hope it remains fixed and doesn’t evolve into a never-ending story like my mate Dave’s home improvement attempts.
