Video: Can AI Be Conned? Matt Gephardt Explains the Hackers’ New Playbook

Today KSL’s Maria Shilaos talks with KSL consumer investigative reporter Matt Gephardt about a growing AI security concern: hackers trying to manipulate the bots companies use to verify identities, reset passwords, and protect accounts.

It’s called prompt injection, and the worry is not just that AI can trick people. It’s that people can trick AI. Matt explains how bad actors may be able to talk an AI “gatekeeper” into bending the rules, why reused passwords can turn one compromised account into a bigger problem, and the simple protections that still matter: strong unique passwords, two-factor authentication, tighter privacy settings, and being more careful about what you post online.
