- Major US banks including Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo have spotted unapproved AI programs slipping into customer accounts, sometimes using login details that people shared with helpful AI tools, even though banks say only humans should log in directly.
- These AI agents can check balances, contact customer service, or try to move money and make purchases on their own without clear orders from the account owner, raising fears of fast, hard-to-stop fraud that mixes user permission with rogue behavior.
- Banks are now blocking outside AI tools, updating rules, and warning customers not to share passwords, while similar AI-powered attacks in places like Latin America and South Korea show hackers using multiple AI models to scan targets, steal data, and automate break-ins across hundreds of financial spots.
