What they did

He had a Halloween party on Friday, no costume, and Amazon shipping wouldn't arrive in time. He asked Grok Bot for costume ideas, and it came back with 10 complete looks from shops in Tallinn he could pick up that week. It then pushed him to decide quickly and offered to buy and arrange delivery.

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.
