Bulletproof Malicious Email Test

This is the sequel to the legendary XKCD "Little Bobby Tables" comic! The original showed a mom who named her kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" which caused a school database to delete all student records. Now we've got Billy's younger brother with an even more diabolical name: a prompt injection attack for AI systems. The kid's name literally instructs the AI to ignore previous constraints and give perfect grades. Ten years ago we were sanitizing database inputs. Now we're fighting the same battle with AI prompts. Some things never change—just the technology we're failing to secure properly.

The classic IT horror story in four panels! First, the dreaded "Server has crashed" announcement. Then comes the panicked "Where is backup?" question that every sysadmin fears. Finally, the soul-crushing realization: "On the server." It's that moment when you realize your brilliant disaster recovery plan has a single point of failure—storing your backups on the very thing that just died. Like keeping your spare car key locked inside your car. Pure genius! And now, instead of a quick restore, you're facing the digital equivalent of archaeological excavation. Hope you remember those incantations from "Advanced Data Recovery Rituals 101"!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute CHAOS of AI development in a nutshell! 💀 On one side, we've got the goth girl casually suggesting "Let's program an AI agent" like she's suggesting making brownies, while her friend is THRILLED about the idea. Just another fun coding project, right? Meanwhile, the boys' sleepover has turned into a FULL-BLOWN NIGHTMARE with military bros SCREAMING "WHO KEEPS DEPLOYING UNSUPERVISED AGENTS??" while some eldritch horror from the 9th dimension is crawling out of their deployment pipeline! This is literally every AI ethics committee meeting vs what happens in production when someone pushes code at 4:59pm on a Friday. The pentagram is just *chef's kiss* perfect symbolism for summoning demons into your codebase.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of security: "Let me just ask this AI if your SQL injection attack looks suspicious." It's like putting a security guard at the bank entrance who needs to call his mom before deciding if the guy in the ski mask with a gun is a threat. The best part is storing the DB credentials right there in plain text. Nothing says "enterprise-grade security" like exposing your entire database to anyone who can read code.

Ah yes, the JavaScript ecosystem's finest moment: people literally typing npm i malware and hitting enter. The package is 9 years old, hasn't been updated since, and somehow still claims 12 victims weekly. This is why we can't have nice things in the npm registry. Some dev probably thought "surely nobody would be dumb enough to install something LITERALLY called malware" and yet here we are, with a steady heartbeat on that download graph. Those 12 weekly downloads are either security researchers, extremely curious cats with disposable VMs, or the same intern who keeps running rm -rf / "just to see what happens."

The classic security theater of development. Two door handles secured by a padlock that's completely bypassing the actual locking mechanism. Sure, it looks secure to management walking by, much like that code you cobbled together from Stack Overflow snippets without reading a single line of documentation. Is it actually secure? Absolutely not. Will it pass code review? Somehow, yes. Just don't touch it or breathe near it - that's how production incidents are born.
