![]() Now, I get that tools like this are in Beta testing, and so it's expected to have kinks that are still being ironed out.īut even with very "mature" technology and tools, as an industry, we're constantly finding new bugs and vulnerabilities. I got a befuddling response about ChatGPT itself, as if I had just asked the infamous job interview question, "Tell me a little about yourself." I've never seen ChatGPT get "confused" or mix-up requests or browser sessions from different people. This time, I got back jibberish about Car Stereo installation.

("You haven't purchased coffee in a while, would you like me to reorder it for you?" I've thankfully trained them to always say "No!"). They also tend to believe everything #Alexa says, and talk to her as if she was a friend.Įven though she's always asking them to buy something. My kids blindly trust #GoogleMaps to get us where we're going.Įven though GPS has led us down the wrong path on more than one occasion (and even some Dead End streets.) I worry about the next generation, and the impact technology has on their ability to think for themselves. #cybersecurity #wordpress #plugins #backups No different than you would for any other software used in your business. Of course, the way to limit your risk is to carefully scrutinize the plugins you use to ensure they're reputable, secure, and remain up to date. □ Theft of visitor data including user credentials, payment info, or other personally identifiable information, #PII □ Website takeover & defacement (think: Anonymous) □ Deleting your website (and thus your online presence) This can lead to further issues, including: Many are low cost or even free.Įach of those plugins poses a potential security threat to your website.
