OpenAI has shipped a security update to ChatGPT Atlas aimed at prompt injection in AI browsers, attacks that hide malicious instructions inside everyday content an agent might read while it works.

The company’s core warning is simple. Hackers can trick the agent’s…

Unlike polls, a quiz requires admins to specify the correct answer before sharing it on the channel. When members select an option, WhatsApp immediately shows whether their answer is correct and plays a brief confetti…
