Perplexity Comet Flaw Exposed User Data to Attackers, Brave Reports

Privacy browser Brave drops bombshell report: Perplexity's Comet feature left user data wide open.

Security Breach Exposed

The vulnerability allowed attackers to bypass protections and access sensitive user information—names, emails, search histories all up for grabs. No sophisticated tools needed either; basic techniques did the trick.

Response Fallout

Perplexity claims they've patched the flaw, but Brave's disclosure timeline suggests delays in addressing critical risks. Users left wondering if their data was compromised during the exposure window.

Another day, another tech company treating user security like an optional feature—guess they were too busy chasing valuation spikes to bother with basic protections.
