Hidden Dangers in the Digital Age: How Invisible Code in Google Gemini Mirrors the Threat of “Invisible Poisons”
Recent cybersecurity research has uncovered a striking vulnerability in Google Gemini’s AIpowered Workspace tools: hackers are exploiting hidden HTML code to manipulate AIgenerated summaries, turning trusted digital platforms into vectors for misinformation and phishing. This attack doesn’t rely on cuttingedge AI manipulation—instead, it uses decadesold web tricks to embed invisible instructions that only the AI sees. The situation is a stark reminder of how deceptive threats—both digital and biological—can operate invisibly, causing harm before they are even detected.
