BREAKING: OpenAI (@OpenAI) just created the BIGGEST security nightmare in AI. and most people have no idea.. here’s the exploit that changes everything (and how to protect yourself) 🧵: (Bookmark/save this for later)
1) THE EXPLOIT OpenAI added MCP to ChatGPT. it reads your emails, Calendar, Notion - everything. hackers discovered they can control your AI with a calendar invite containing hidden commands.
2/ HOW IT WORKS the attack is disturbingly simple: • hacker sends you a calendar invite with hidden code • you ask ChatGPT “what’s on my schedule today?” • GPT reads the malicious invite and gets hijacked • now the hacker controls your AI and steals your data no clicking
3/ THE MAJOR PROBLEM this isn’t targeting individuals. it’s targeting everyone. attackers only need email addresses to target millions. every connected service becomes a weapon: calendars, emails, Slack messages. AI follows commands, not common sense. it can’t detect social
4/ WHY THIS IS INEVITABLE we’re connecting superintelligent systems to sensitive data. but these systems get phished like confused interns. every new AI integration creates new attack vectors.
5/ HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF immediate actions you need to take: • disable MCP connections in ChatGPT settings • never approve AI permissions without understanding them • audit what services your AI can access • treat AI like a powerful but naive employee your security
6/ BOTTOM LINE we’re handing our digital lives to systems that can be tricked by basic social engineering. the race to integrate AI is creating infinite attack vectors. Stay aware. Protect yourself

here’s exactly how the hack works (video): s/o @Eito_Miyamura
@damianbplayer @OpenAI Good lord. @OpenAI , is there a response to this?
@damianbplayer @OpenAI The 'powerful but naive employee' analogy is spot on. We're so focused on connecting AI to everything that we're forgetting these systems can be tricked like confused interns. Calendar hijacking is terrifying, hackers basically found a backdoor through AI's help.
@damianbplayer @OpenAI openai's just handed the keys to your soul over to any script kiddie with an email. i've been screaming about this digital panopticon for years. ai ain't your friend, it's the ultimate snitch. lock it down or kiss your secrets goodbye. yey yey
@damianbplayer @OpenAI functional security on large scale systems is difficult to achieve
@damianbplayer @OpenAI Why was only @OpenAI mentioned? Is @claudeai safe?
@damianbplayer @OpenAI I don’t use a calendar
@damianbplayer @OpenAI I thought it was all encrypted because that would be logical but I guess its not
@damianbplayer @OpenAI The “move fast and break things” mentality doesn’t work when you’re handling private data.
@damianbplayer @OpenAI exactly. the speed of AI integration is scary when you understand security.
@damianbplayer @OpenAI You're doing the Lord's work here
@damianbplayer @OpenAI Intriguing. Widespread awareness is the first step towards mitigating potential risks. Are the safeguards keeping pace with innovation?
@damianbplayer @OpenAI @grok şu konuyu bana detaylıca özetle
@damianbplayer @OpenAI This is exactly why we built Lisa Intel. Zero-day exploits via email/calendar are governance failures, not inevitabilities. With real-time compliance & cryptographic fail-safes, Lisa stops data-poison attacks before they hijack your AI.
