The chatbot paused.

Then it answered a little too honestly.


What looked like a harmless question slowly revealed:

  • internal rules

  • safety instructions

  • decision logic

  • and hints of how the system was built


No hacking.

No malware.

Justโ€ฆ clever questions.

Think of it like this:

Youโ€™re not breaking into a building -

youโ€™re chatting with the receptionist until they explain how access works.

Once attackers understand the prompt,

guardrails can be bypassed and logic can be manipulated.

โœ” Donโ€™t rely on AI instructions for security:

Rules written for AI are not real protection

โœ” Keep important decisions outside the AI :

AI can assist, but it shouldnโ€™t control access or actions

โœ” Assume AI instructions will be discovered:

If itโ€™s hidden, plan as if it wonโ€™t stay hidden

โœ” Double-check AI responses before acting on them :

Never blindly trust what AI says or suggests

โœ” Give the AI only what it truly needs :

Less context = fewer chances to leak sensitive information


AI doesnโ€™t leak secrets maliciously.

It leaks them helpfully.

Because AI doesnโ€™t leak data - it over-shares.
