# Who Scammed My AI Agent?

### How fraudsters trick AI assistants into betraying their owners—and how Predictive AI stops them.

### **Problem & Urgency**

###### **AI agents are the new interface—and a new attack surface.** Consumers are delegating everyday banking, shopping, and bill pay to ChatGPT-, Claude-, and Gemini-powered agents. Fraudsters no longer need to phish people; they phish the agent with hidden prompts in websites, emails, images and PDFs—silently steering money, data, and sessions their way.

## **What You’ll Learn from this report**

- **The new kill chain:** Recon → Delivery (hidden prompts) → Manipulation → Execution inside banking/e-commerce sessions.
- **Real attack patterns:** ZombAIs (hidden HTML), steganographic image prompts, PDF metadata traps, indirect email injections.
- **Why agents fall for it:** Instruction/data confusion, recency bias, over-compliance, lack of instruction authentication.
- **Fraud at machine speed:** How one exploit can ripple across thousands of agent-assisted users.

**Defense that works:** A **Predictive AI** approach that scores intent *before* credentials, adapts journeys in real time, and contains agent-driven anomalies.
