Devroop Dhar, Co-founder & CEO, Primus Partners, shares his view on the Whisper Leak side-channel attack. He highlights that, unlike conventional breaches that steal files or break encryption, Whisper Leak exploits metadata — packet sizes and timing from token-by-token LLM streaming — to infer topics. The attack does not require breaking TLS; it relies on subtle network signals (latency, chunk lengths) to classify content, making it technically sophisticated and hard to detect.
