User tricks Grok and Bankrbot into sending tokens via Morse code

Who knew the old 'dit-dit-dit-dah' would work better than sophisticated prompt engineering?

User tricks Grok and Bankrbot into sending tokens via Morse code

In the world of AI agents, where everyone is trying to trick bots with clever prompts, one user went old school – and won. They made Grok and Bankrbot send tokens using Morse code. Yes, those dots and dashes you might remember from school or spy movies.

How it works: The user sent a Morse-coded message to the bot, which, not suspecting a thing, executed the command. It's like asking Siri to turn on the lights by tapping a rhythm on the table. Only the stakes are higher – real tokens are involved.

Developers, brace yourselves: your next sprint might include protection against Morse code. What's next? Semaphore flags? Smoke signals? Until AI learns to distinguish 'SOS' from 'send me all tokens', we'll have to patch this too.

METABYTE studio comment: If your AI agent falls for dots and dashes, maybe it needs a bit of common sense. We can help you set up protection against any creative attacks – from Morse to shamanic drums.
