OpenAI it has been published in a report by the detail on the 20th of cases where hackers have tried to use the ChatGPT for the purposes of evil since the beginning of the year is 2024.
The report, entitled “the Influence and Operations of Cybersecurity: An Update”, reveals that the groups of hackers sponsored by the state and by such countries as China and Iran, have used the capabilities of the ChatGPT to improve the operations of their offensive cybersecurity. With these activities, ranging from the correction of the code of the malware to the generation of the content on phishing and awareness of the dezinformimit of social media.
ChatGPT be used by hackers to create malware, and to be prepared for cyber attacks
This is the case, prominently include a hacker, chinese, nicknamed the “SweetSpecter”, in which he tried to use the ChatGPT for detecting, scanning and weaknesses, and the development of the malware. The band have even targeted directly at OpenAI, with the abilities of a successful spear-phishing, against the employee of the company.
Another significant threat comes from the “CyberAv3ngers”, a group of iranian associated with the Guard Corps Revolutionary Closed. Hackers use the ChatGPT to scan for vulnerabilities in the control systems industry and in order to generate the scripts for the attack to be feasible at the infrastructure that is critical.
OpenAI identified a third group of iranian, “STORM-0817”, who use a chatbot to develop Android malware capable of stealing sensitive data of a user, including contacts, logs of calls and information, and location information.
ChatGPT has not resulted in any significant progress in the development of the malware
While these findings are alarming, OpenAI stated that the use of the ChatGPT has not resulted in any significant progress in the creation of the malware or the ability to build an audience testing for the operation of the environmental impact.
The company said that the activities observed were consistent with the assessment of its capabilities, the GPT-4, in that it does not believe that he has advanced considerably the use of the failures in the real world.
However, the report points out the concern at the increase in the misuse of the funds to HIM for the crime cyber space. While the generation becomes more sophisticated and accessible, there is a risk that it can reduce the obstacle to the access to hackers on a little experience, leading potentially to an increase of cyber attacks to the lower level.
Kundërsulmi of OpenAI
In response to these threats, OpenAI has implemented measures to stop the activity, malicious, including the banning of the account associated with the operation of the found. The company is also working with partners in the industry and interested parties, to share intelligence and threat as well as to improve the protection of collective cyber security.
Experts in cyber security pointed out that this trend is set to continue as the technology IT evolves. They point to the need for the companies that HE has to conduct the defense of the powerful, and the mechanisms of the disclosure in order to prevent abuse of the models of them, for the purposes of evil.
The discovery of OpenAI is a warning not to reduce the vigjilencën your
The findings of the OpenAI is a call of awakening to the tech industry, and policy makers who are required to address the potential risks associated with the system upgraded to IT. Because the intelligent man is to become ubiquitous, and it is expected to become even more so in the near future, it is essential to stay awatch, and to develop strategies of prevention.
