Large Language Models face growing security threats from adversarial attacks including prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data poisoning. Studies show 77% of businesses experienced AI breaches, with OWASP naming prompt injection the #1 LLM threat. Attackers manipulate models to leak sensitive data, bypass safety controls, or degrade performance. Defense requires a multi-layered approach: adversarial training, input filtering, output monitoring, and system-level guards. Organizations must treat LLMs as untrusted code and implement continuous testing to minimize risks.

Fake CAPTCHAs are being used to trick users into installing malware or giving away private data. A fake CAPTCHA is crafted to look like a normal verification step, but behind the scenes, the attackers are executing a malicious plan. The Amadey Trojan, in particular, acts as a clipper: it detects crypto addresses already copied on the clipboard.
