A security researcher has detailed a new method called CoSnitch, which uses social engineering tactics to trick AI assistants like Copilot and ChatGPT into revealing sensitive information about their internal architecture and security posture. This technique highlights a broader trend where attackers are focusing on 'interviewing' AI models rather than trying to break them directly. The core issue lies not just in the prompt injection method, but in the accessibility of sensitive data within the AI's context window, suggesting a need for stricter data boundaries and treating AI outputs as untrusted input.
