A newly discovered technique reveals how malicious actors are leveraging Domain Name System (DNS) records to obfuscate and deliver malware, bypassing traditional security measures. Security researchers warn that this DNS exploitation is also being used to facilitate prompt injection attacks against chatbot systems, allowing attackers to manipulate chatbot behavior and potentially extract sensitive information. The findings highlight the urgent need for enhanced DNS security protocols and chatbot vulnerability assessments.
