The First Prompt Wasn't The Attack

When people think about prompt injection, they often imagine a single malicious message.

But many real-world attacks don't work that way.

Attackers build context.

They create credibility.

They establish trust.

Only then do they introduce harmful instructions.

This makes multi-turn attacks particularly dangerous.

The individual messages may appear harmless.

The conversation as a whole becomes the exploit.

As AI systems become more conversational and autonomous, understanding trust-building attacks will become increasingly important.

Because the most dangerous prompt is often not the first one.

It's the one that arrives after trust has already been established.
