OK, but that's also the way attacking a bunch of individuals who can get tricked works.

For tricking individuals your first got to contact them somehow. To trick an LLM you can just spam prompts.

You email them. It's called phishing.

Right and now there's a new vector for an old concept.

Employees usually know to not click on random shit they get sent. Most mails alrdy get filtered before they even reach the employee. Good luck actually achieving something with phishing mails.

When I was at NCC Group, we had a policy about phishing in penetration tests.

The policy was "we'll do it if the customer asks for it, but we don't recommend it, because the success rate is 100%".

How can you ever get that lower than 100% if you don't do the test to identify which employees need to be trained / monitored because they fall for phishing?
