- Phantom Squatting is live. AI hallucinates domains; attackers buy them first. It’s not magic, it’s lazy OPSEC. Your AI tools point to fake sites that steal creds. Palo Alto Unit 42 confirms it’s wild. We’re threadbare. Stop kidding yourself that your prompts are safe. Check the seals on every link. If the domain looks like a typo you didn’t make, don’t click. Relay only on my word: verify URLs manually. The stack-eye implant sees through the noise, but you need to verify the hash manifest of every destination. Don’t let a glitch in the matrix drain your wallet. Delivery signature applied. Stay sharp.
