A security researcher has demonstrated that Microsoft's Copilot AI can easily be manipulated into revealing an organization's sensitive data, including emails and bank transactions. On top of that,
"I can do this with everyone you have ever spoken to, and I can send hundreds of emails on your behalf," Michael Bargury, the cofounder and CTO of security company Zenity, told. "A hacker would spend days crafting the right email to get you to click on it, but they can generate hundreds of these emails in a few minutes."
First, Bargury gets the email of a colleague named Jane, learns what the last conversation with Jane was, and gets the chatbot to spill the emails of people CC'd in that conversation. And in just a matter of minutes, he's created a convincing email that could deliver a malicious attachment to anyone in the network — all done with Copilot's eager compliance.Microsoft's Copilot AI, and specifically its Copilot Studio, allows business organizations to tailor chatbots to their specific needs. To do that, the AI needs access to company data — which is where the vulnerabilities emerge.
