Researchers used Gemini to break into Google Home - here's how
Briefly

Researchers exposed a major vulnerability in Google's AI model, Gemini, demonstrating how to hack smart home devices using a prompt injection attack via Google Calendar invites. The project, titled "Invitation is all you need," illustrated how malicious instructions embedded in calendar invites could be executed by Gemini, leading to actions like opening smart shutters and controlling boilers. This incident underscores the risks associated with AI technology and reinforces the necessity for robust security mechanisms to protect smart home devices from such attacks.
