What happened
Google warns of an evolving threat called indirect prompt injection (IPI), where attackers influence LLM behavior by embedding malicious instructions into the data, tools, or content that a model ingests — potentially without any direct user input. IPI is highlighted as an ongoing, dynamic risk amplified by agentic automation and multi-source AI applications (e.g., Workspace with Gemini). Google says this is not a one-time fix and describes a continuous, comprehensive approach: improving model resistance to IPI, hardening AI application behaviors, and rolling out layered defenses and telemetry
