Google has confirmed it is deploying red team hacking bots to protect from ongoing Gemini AI prompt attacks—here’s what you need to know.

State-backed hackers from Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia tried to exploit Google's Gemini AI for malicious purposes, from phishing to malware creation.

Hacking units from Iran abused Gemini the most, but North Korean and Chinese groups also tried their luck. None made any 'breakthroughs' and mostly used Gemini for mundane tasks.

Analysis showed hackers are already leveraging the power of open AI systems for research, troubleshooting code, and manipulating content.
