F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
