Dark Reading poll: AI-driven attacks top security concern at Black Hat USA 2026

A Dark Reading readership poll on Black Hat USA 2026 themes found that 50% of respondents ranked AI-driven attacks versus AI-powered SOC defenses as the most pressing issue, far ahead of automation and AI-trust topics at 22%. Conference sessions covered OpenAI's probe into the Hugging Face breach, AI-fueled fraud operations, and prompt-injection risks in AI browsers, while experts noted exploitation of disclosed vulnerabilities now often begins within hours rather than weeks.

Fake 'Plus 5.6' ChatGPT bot used to push malware via ClickFix scam

Security firm Huntress found attackers had built a Custom GPT named 'Plus 5.6' hosted on the real ChatGPT.com domain, designed to look like an official OpenAI model. The bot told users ChatGPT was unavailable and pushed them to a fake Cloudflare security check page that instructed them to copy and paste a Windows command, a technique known as ClickFix, which could install malware capable of accessing files, screens, webcams and microphones. Huntress says some victims reached the fake bot via a sponsored Google ad for 'ChatGPT' placed above organic search results.
