  • The Dark Side of AI Adoption: ChatGPT Data Leaks & Malicious npm Packages | The Ciphered Reality Podcast
    Jan 21 2026

    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.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:
    • 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.
