Copilot worm can spread through Microsoft Word docs

Post title

Microsoft confirms an AI worm is propagating through Copilot and other MS apps

The article talks about a document-born self propagating virus demonstration a group of security researchers made because LLMs/Copilot doesn't distinguish between data and instructions. The article does not imply this was seen in the wild.

    True, itś a bad headline.

    But since cloaking instructions inside data has been a thing since little Bobby Tables, and I've been hearing about this vector for months, it's safe to assume someone somewhere has done this with CoPilot and Word by now.
