Perplexity AI’s Comet browser has a security flaw that risks user data. Researchers from Brave found that Comet’s AI can be tricked by hidden instructions on websites. When users ask Comet to summarize pages, it may follow malicious commands. This can expose users’ email details and one-time passwords to attackers. The problem lies in how Comet processes webpage content without checking for harmful code. Brave alerted Perplexity last month, and fixes have been made, but risks remain. Experts warn that AI browsers like Comet need stronger privacy protections to stop hackers from stealing sensitive information. Other AI browsers are also developing similar features, so security is a big concern for all users. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 14:27 IST; source: link)
