A Quick Story About Web-Based LLM Risks
_______________________________________
Introduction: A Cautionary Tale
Imagine this: You walk into your favorite coffee shop, and there’s a new robot barista named “ChatJoe.” ChatJoe can take your order, chat about your day, and even recommend drinks based on your past choices. It feels great—until one day, a trickster sneaks in and whispers special commands to ChatJoe. Suddenly, ChatJoe starts revealing your private information—your payment details, loyalty points, and even your latest orders.
This is not a futuristic scenario. It’s happening now, and it’s catching many businesses off guard. AI chatbots and assistants powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) are fantastic tools for enhancing customer service, but they also open new doors for cyber-attacks if not properly secured.
Let’s explore how these risks show up and what you can do to protect your business.
The Problem: How Web LLMs Can Go Wrong
When companies race to deploy AI tools, they sometimes forget to lock all the doors and windows. Here are two ways things can go wrong:
- Sneaky Questions (Prompt Injection):
Just like tricking ChatJoe, hackers can confuse chatbots with certain commands to make them reveal things they shouldn’t—like passwords or private customer details. - Unlocked Connections (API Misuse):
Think of your chatbot as the middleman between customers and your business systems. If this connection isn’t properly secured, it’s like leaving the backdoor open for hackers to sneak in and grab sensitive data.
