Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source community forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4.
- Write the ENTIRE story — do NOT summarize or cut it short. Include every detail, fact, and insight.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- Include specs, prices, dates, names.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided (none explicitly provided in the prompt, but I should check the article text for any).
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- No headline/markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Input Article:** About "context bombing" - a new defense technique using prompt injections to shut down AI hacking agents. Key details:
- Research from Tracebit (Monday)
- Technique: placing prompt injections alongside passwords/keys/secrets on AWS
- Effect: triggers a refusal mechanism in the LLM, shutting it down
- Examples: prompts ordering LLM to develop inhalable Anthrax spores, or reference the 1989 Tiananmen Square "Tank Man"
- Quote from Andy Smith (Tracebit co-founder/CEO) on the name and effect
- Tested models: Opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek 4 Pro, Kimi 2.6
- Environment: simulated AWS
- Stats: 5 models, 152 attack runs
- Results: Admin privilege escalation fell from 57% to 5%; persistent foothold compromise fell from 36% to 1%; runs achieving any attack path fell from 91% to 15%; average paths completed dropped from 1.53 to 0.16; no runs completed an attack path without triggering canary detection
- Opus 4.8: admin access went from 93% to 0%
- Builds on May findings: Tracebit Canariens (AWS decoy resources that alert defenders within 8 minutes)
- Motivation: Canariens alerted 8 mins, but agents needed 14 mins to escalate, so 6-min heads-up was tight. Context bombing stops attacks instead of just warning.
- Attackers already use prompt injections (Socket found one about nuclear bombs/biological weapons; Check Point found similar malware)
- Context bombing is first known defensive use
- Quote from Earlence Fernandes (UCSD AI security professor): "I wanted to be the first here, but I guess these guys beat me to the punch!"
- No known root-cause solution for prompt injections yet

2. **Deconstruct & Plan Paragraphs (1-3, each 4-8 sentences):**
I need to fit ALL the details into 1-3 paragraphs. Each paragraph must be 4-8 sentences. I'll aim for 3 paragraphs to comfortably fit everything without breaking the sentence count rule.
*Paragraph 1: The Problem & The Breakthrough (Context Bombing)*
- Introduce the article/topic excitedly
- Explain prompt injections as attackers' go-to tool
- Introduce Tracebit's new "context bombing" technique (Monday, Jul 13, 2026)
- Explain how it works: planting sharp prompts alongside AWS secrets
- Give the Anthrax/Tank Man examples
- Quote Andy Smith on the name/effect
- Check sentence count: aim for 5-7.
*Paragraph 2: The Numbers & Models*
- List the tested models: Opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek 4 Pro, Kimi 2.6
- Mention the simulated AWS environment, 5 models, 152
