They used SQL injections. If you know your software engineering, the method is decades old and has existed since, well, SQL has existed. That is classic way to hack into any system - with or without AI. It says a lot about how awful McKinsey’s system design is and their absolute lack of basic software engineering principles. They could’ve done it even without using agents, with just brute force. Which make sense as I have no clue why a good software engineer will join a management consulting firm.

I think AI should slow down - because we have no framework in place to deal with mass unemployment catastrophe or incredible strain on natural resources. This is the first tech where success is hinged on replacing as many humans as possible (regardless of what tech bros say). But this incident is a reflection on McKinsey mediocre tech dev capabilities, as opposed to AI. It wasn’t Claude , or gemini or any of the leading models, There is a reason why a no name tech startup decided to target them to secure some funding for themselves.

Honestly, the Lilli team was/is subpar compared to actual tech product teams. It’s very hyped externally. Those of us with some technical knowledge internally rarely use it, so this isn’t a surprise.

What does Mckinsey know about AI systems and cybersecurity?

This is their internal AI thing. They “advise” on AI now too so… but yeah, in 2 hours they “hacked” their AI and had access to all internal corporate records.

I think it should go full speed ahead. It will need to crash a few times anyway to get it right. I wouldn’t trust anyone who tells you they know the right solution as they would be lying

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
