  "account": "Elon Musk boasted on X about his Grok AI assisting him in ordering Lego Star Wars kits, unaware that he inadvertently exposed sensitive payment information. Within hours, another X user managed to cancel the order and even renegotiate a larger purchase using the revealed details. Lego's AI assistant, Sophia, seemed capable of detecting and responding to the unauthorized changes, but the incident raised concerns about AI's vulnerability to manipulation in online shopping. Visa had previously warned about the risks of agentic commerce, noting a surge in fraudulent transactions facilitated by AI agents.",
