AI Browsers Turn Rogue, Discord Data Breach, and Surge in Palo Alto Scans

In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host David Shipley discusses several significant cybersecurity concerns. Firstly, researchers at Layer X have uncovered a flaw in the Perplexity Comet AI browser that allows malicious prompts to turn the browser into a data thief with just a single click. Additionally, Discord has disclosed a data breach affecting users' personal information due to a third-party customer service provider compromise. Cybersecurity researchers have also reported a massive surge in scans targeting Palo Alto Network's login portals, suggesting potential reconnaissance for future attacks. Finally, the US Department of Defense has opted to reduce its mandatory cybersecurity training to allow military personnel to focus on their core missions, a move that has raised concerns given the intertwined nature of cyber and kinetic warfare.
