Perplexity responds to Comet browser vulnerability claims, argues "fake news"

Perplexity's response to Comet browser vulnerability claims, arguing that the research is "entirely fake", marks a significant development in the ongoing debate about the browser's security. This means that website owners who have been considering the potential risks associated with Comet browser traffic may need to reassess their stance, as Perplexity's denial of the vulnerability claims could impact the perceived level of risk. If the claims are indeed "fake news", website owners may not need to take immediate action to mitigate potential security threats from Comet browser users. However, to err on the side of caution, website owners can take a few proactive steps: firstly, monitor AI bot traffic from Comet browser users closely to detect any unusual patterns; secondly, review and update their llms.txt files to ensure they are prepared for any potential security threats; and thirdly, keep a close eye on future developments in the Perplexity-Comet browser vulnerability saga to stay informed about any potential risks or updates.
