"What happens when an attacker gains control of your AI agent and the outside world believes everything it does... is you?"
AI agents are already booking travel, managing calendars, and handling day-to-day tasks for millions of people. But as they gain access to our accounts, finances, and personal data, a new question emerges: how do you tell a legitimate agent from a hijacked one?
Our guest this week is Mick Amelishko, AI advocate and Senior Engineering Manager at Sumsub, who lives at the intersection of AI development and fraud risk every single day. Mick breaks down what AI agents actually are, why they're so powerful, and why that power makes them an increasingly attractive target for bad actors.
From compromised personal assistants and prompt injection attacks to the emerging concept of Know Your Agent (KYA), this conversation explores what happens when automation becomes indistinguishable from real user behaviour. We look at how fraudsters can weaponise agent access to drain accounts, impersonate users, and cause damage across multiple platforms, and what businesses and individuals can do about it.
