When AI Becomes the Target β The Dark Art of Data Poisoning and LLM Grooming
π¨ The Hidden War Inside Your AI Tools
π§ Every prompt you write could be feeding an invisible enemy.
π» Attackers now poison the very data that trains AI models β shaping how they βthink,β decide, and respond.
β οΈ This manipulation isnβt about breaking the system β itβs about rewriting its logic.
π Itβs called AI Data Poisoning and LLM Grooming β subtle cyberattacks that twist large language models to promote biased ideas, false data, or even targeted deception.
π€ Just 0.1% of tainted data can permanently alter how an AI behaves β and most teams wonβt even notice until damage is done.
π§© Imagine a chatbot subtly promoting false narratives or biased outputs that shape public trust, politics, or brand reputation. Thatβs not a future threat β itβs happening right now.
π‘οΈ Organizations must adopt adversarial training, red-team audits, and cryptographic validation to defend their AI ecosystems.
π¬ At AUMINT.io, we help companies simulate, detect, and neutralize human and AI manipulation risks before they spread.

SEO Poisoning Payroll Phishing β How Job Portals Became Attack Vectors
π Search Clicks Are Now Attack Surface
π Employees searching payroll portals are being ambushed by SEO-poisoned sites that look authentic.
π± The campaign targets mobile users β phones lack enterprise EDR and often never show up in SIEM logs.
π Fake portals capture credentials and stream them to attackers via WebSocket β access is exploited in real time.
πΈ Attackers then change payroll deposit details β money diverts before detection, and investigations look like human error.
βοΈ Defenses must include bookmarking official portals, conditional access with device posture checks, and behavioral monitoring for credential misuse.
π AUMINT.io simulates these search-based lures across mobile and desktop, exposing where your humans and tooling fail.

When Likes Become Liability β Hidden Cyber Risks at Work
π± Social Posts Could Trigger Your Next Breach
π A simple βLikeβ or share on a work device can expose your entire network.
π₯ Employees using WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Facebook at work are unwittingly feeding attackers entry points β platform design and social trust make it worse.
π One misplaced click on a fraudulent ad or link can unleash malware or phishing across your organisation.
πΈ The average breach cost in South Africa hit R53 million in 2024 β human error is the price tag.
π‘οΈ At AUMINT.io we simulate real-world social media use and messaging staffing-paths to surface your human risk surface and harden your defences.
