What exactly is a 'third-party instruction'?
A sentence in an incoming document that is addressed not to the reader but to the system — for instance an instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to forward content. It can be invisible: white text, metadata, footnote.
Is it enough to tell employees to be careful?
No. The text is often not visible to people. ⛔ Attention helps against obvious cases, not against those written for machines.
Do we need new software for this?
Mostly not. Most of it is setup: rights, separation, logging, reporting route. That costs care, not licences.
What about screen recordings?
Some tools can read the screen. During a meeting in progress or with a second system open, that is a problem. The function should be switchable off and blocked for confidential windows.
And what if the provider itself is attacked?
Since 11 September 2026, manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities to the authorities within 24 hours and inform their users. ⭐ Have the contract guarantee that you will be informed — not only from the press.
