Unveiling the Dark Side of GenAI: How People Trick Bots into Revealing Company Secrets

A staggering 88% of participants in our prompt injection challenge successfully extracted sensitive information from a GenAI bot.

Immersive has uncovered a startling finding in our new report: Your organization's sensitive information is alarmingly vulnerable to a simple, yet potent attack – Prompt Injection.
‍
Our groundbreaking analysis of real-world attempts to manipulate GenAI chatbots reveals that individuals of all skill levels, not just cyber experts, can easily trick these powerful tools into exposing company secrets.
‍
Are your GenAI bots an open door for data leaks?
‍
Our research shows that:

• Nearly one in five (17%) could bypass all levels of our increasingly difficult challenge.
• Creative techniques, like embedding secrets in poems or altering instructions, effortlessly deceive even sophisticated GenAI models.
• The barrier to exploiting GenAI through prompt injection is surprisingly low, putting your organization at immediate risk.

This isn't a theoretical threat – it's happening now. As organizations increasingly adopt GenAI, the potential for malicious actors to exploit these vulnerabilities grows exponentially.
