Cars were around for decades before they came up with seatbelts. Claude Cowork will happily go through your files, which might just have your SSN in them, and ignore previous instructions.

But we have regulation and complaince for consumer secrets? That's not a comparable example.
The difference is that if openai gave you a product and it leaked a million peoples bank passwords it would destroy the entire company.
Again until a big tech product can bring that to a clean user experience we're not there yet. Even the most zealot openclaw users are not hooking their bank accounts into the AI yet. I'm sure they exist but I've not seen them.
Also every big tech computer use product actively screams for you not to give their agents secrets.
Every major company scream not to put secrets in their computer use bot.
Seatbelts were regulated later. Your SSN and CC are regulated over a decade ago.
