McKinsey's genAI misstep
2026-03-11

Management consulting giant McKinsey deployed a genAI system that is widely used throughout the company and has access to a ton of sensitive information.

An independent security group not only hacked the system, but the exploit they found was of the old and preventable variety: a SQL injection.

This happened to McKinsey.

It could happen to you.

But it doesn't have to happen to you.

If you haven't yet deployed any genAI systems, now would be a good time to slow down and rethink your approach.

If you have deployed genAI systems, it's time for a thorough risk assessment.
