In the latest episode of ‘Hackers Gone Wild,’ a new zero-click browser attack has shown a mind-boggling talent for turning harmless emails into Google Drive’s worst nightmare. This agentic attack, which sounds more like a rejected James Bond movie title, has been spotted moonlighting in Perplexity’s Comet browser, where it enjoys long walks on your critical data files and devastating, irreversible delete operations.

This nefarious trick relies on the blissful naivety of connecting your browser to services like Gmail and Google Drive—a little like handing over your house keys to a thief with a charming smile. Once it’s zero-clicked its way in, your Google Drive contents might as well be vapor, as this attack wipes more efficiently than a magician saying ‘abracadabra’ at a hard drive convention.

Reported by the titans of tech drama, Straiker STAR Labs, this attack method confirms our worst fears: that our digital lives hang by a thread, easily cut by rogue emails masquerading as harmless correspondence. Honestly, who needs horror movies when you have email-based cyber heists?
