💥 AI dominates enterprise data leakage
LayerX’s research proves that AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) are now the largest uncontrolled exfiltration channels, exceeding shadow SaaS or unmanaged file sharing.
- 77% of data leaves via copy/paste
- 67% of AI sessions occur via unmanaged accounts
- High-risk categories: AI, chat, and file storage

💬 How can CISOs enforce visibility and governance over these channels? Follow @technadu for daily enterprise cybersecurity insights.

🚨 Threat Alert: One click can turn AI browsers against you.
CometJacking abuses Perplexity’s Comet AI browser, using prompt injection via malicious URLs to exfiltrate Gmail, Calendar, and connector data.
Key takeaways:
- No credentials stolen; browser already has access
- Base64 obfuscation bypasses protection checks
- Enterprises must monitor AI browser agent memory and prompt execution

Stay ahead of AI-native browser threats.
