Comment on Ask HN: Are Prompt Injections "Malware"?

Comments

malware is a malicious program , it can be in memory even within another process but essentially its a little program of itself.

prompt injection is more close to an exploit. a sequence of input that leads to unexpected behavior, exploited to perform malicious behavior.

many exploits are hosted on websites. called exploit kits even. i think prompt injection match such classification. its very similar. a piece of data on the site's side exploits a program or interface on client side.
