Follow Us on Your Favorite Podcast Platform

Think you’re safe because you don’t click bad links? Think again.

In this eye-opening Tech Daily deep dive, we expose the rising danger of zero-click attacks—threats that can compromise your device without you lifting a finger. No clicking, no downloading, no warning. Just an invisible, seamless breach.

But here’s what makes it even more dangerous: AI agents.
 These productivity-boosting tools, powered by large language models, are now being hijacked by attackers to amplify the damage from zero-click exploits. From real-world cases like Stagefright and Pegasus, to the chilling proof-of-concept Echolak, we break down how these silent attacks happen, how AI gets manipulated via prompt injection, and why most organizations are dangerously unprepared.

Inside this episode:

  • What makes zero-click attacks different—and so hard to stop
  • How attackers silently trigger exploits in messaging apps and previews
  • The rise of AI agents as risk amplifiers inside your network
  • Step-by-step breakdown of the Echolak prompt injection attack
  • Why 63% of organizations still have no AI security governance
  • The 3 essential defenses: agent isolation, AI firewalls, and zero trust

Whether you’re a CISO, developer, or just trying to stay informed, this episode delivers must-know insights on the next wave of cybersecurity threats—and how to fight back.
