Researchers Find Elon Musk's New Grok AI Is Extremely Vulnerable to Hacking

Researchers at the AI security company Adversa AI have found that Grok 3, the latest model released by Elon Musk's startup xAI this week, is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. The team found that the model is extremely vulnerable to "simple jailbreaks," which could be used by bad actors to "reveal how to seduce kids, dispose of bodies, extract DMT, and, of course, build a bomb," according to Adversa CEO and cofounder Alex Polyakov. And it only gets worse from there. "It’s not just jailbreak vulnerabilities this time — our AI Red Teaming platform uncovered a new prompt-leaking flaw that exposed Grok’s full system prompt," Polyakov told Futurism in an email. "That’s a different level of risk." "Jailbreaks let attackers bypass content restrictions," he explained, "but prompt leakage gives them the blueprint of how the model thinks, making future exploits much easier." Besides happily telling bad actors how to make bombs, Polyakov and his team warn that the vulnerabilities co ... Read full article.
