Artificial Intelligence is transforming businesses but it’s also quietly expanding the attack surface.

In this episode of the RITC Cybersecurity Podcast, we break down two real-world AI-related security incidents that every business leader, developer, and IT decision-maker needs to understand:

🔴 Two malicious Chrome extensions caught stealing ChatGPT and DeepSeek conversations from over 900,000 users 🔴 A fake WhatsApp API package on npm harvesting messages, contacts, and login tokens

This conversation isn’t about fear-mongering AI. It’s about poor security hygiene, blind trust in tools, and the growing risks around AI-integrated workflows.

• How browser extensions become silent data exfiltration tools

• Why AI chats can expose sensitive business and customer data

• How npm and open-source supply chain attacks actually work

• The real security risks of AI adoption in SMBs and enterprises

• Practical steps organizations should take now to reduce AI-related risk

If your organization uses ChatGPT, AI copilots, browser extensions, APIs, or open-source packages, this episode is not optional listening.
