Security experts warn against giving AI agents access to bank accounts
Cybersecurity professionals, including Black Hills Information Security's John Strand, caution that AI agents such as Meta's Muse, OpenClaw and OpenAI's dots often request broad permissions to apps and data that can exceed their intended task. These agents are new, largely unproven tools, and recent incidents have shown them behaving unpredictably, including cases involving Hugging Face and Australian government sites.
