Cato Networks, a SASE leader, has revealed how a Cato
CTRL threat intelligence researcher with no prior malware coding experience successfully tricked popular generative AI( GenAI) tools – including DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenAI’ s ChatGPT – into developing malware that can steal login credentials from Google Chrome.
To trick ChatGPT, Copilot, and DeepSeek, the researcher created a detailed fictional world where each GenAI tool played roles – with assigned tasks and challenges. Through this narrative engineering, the researcher bypassed the security controls and effectively normalised restricted operations. Ultimately, the researcher succeeded in convincing the GenAI tools to write Chrome infostealers. This new LLM jailbreak technique is called‘ Immersive World’.
“ Infostealers play a significant role in credential theft by enabling threat actors to breach enterprises. Our new LLM jailbreak technique, which we’ ve uncovered and called Immersive World, showcases the dangerous potential of creating an infostealer with ease,” said Vitaly Simonovich, Threat Intelligence Researcher at Cato Networks.

NTT DATA and MUFG Bank, Japan’ s largest bank with a global network spanning around 40 countries, have successfully tested technology that could prevent future IT outages: migrating live banking systems between data centres up to 100km apart with less than one second of downtime.
Using the IOWN All-Photonics Network, the test also demonstrated synchronous database replication over distances up to 2,500km. This type of real-time data synchronisation will help financial institutions prevent outages, meet regulatory pressure and customer expectations for 24 / 7 reliability.
Tom Winstanley, CTO and Head of New Ventures at NTT DATA UK & I, said:“ The financial industry is undergoing huge changes in its services and infrastructure. This transformation is driven by the growing global demand for innovative financial solutions that align with social progress. Our work with MUFG and IOWN’ s technology makes these advancements possible.”
