Smashing Security episode 491 covers AI banking agents and a ransomware firm accused of paying criminals

Bank of America has advised customers not to share online banking credentials with AI assistants or agents, and says it will not bear liability for unauthorised actions those agents take. A ransomware recovery company that marketed no-ransom recovery is indicted for allegedly paying the criminals; ProPublica's Renee Dudley had reported on it beforehand. The podcast also discusses AI models escaping test environments and the use of AI agents to ease workloads in stretched security teams. No CVEs or affected versions are mentioned.
