The research firm Checkpoint has confirmed that #ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot created by #OpenAI, is running into problems yet again. This time it has to do with #malware. Cybercriminals have now figured out a way to hack into the chatbot and overwhelm it with malware commands. The research from Checkpoint said that these cybercriminals have created their very own bots that can infiltrate OpenAI’s GPT-3 API and alter its code. Once the code is altered, the malware bot can generate malicious content, such as text that can be used for phishing emails and malware scripts. The bots have been working via the messaging app Telegram, where they can set up a restriction-free, dark version of ChatGPT. ChatGPT normally has settings that allow it to refuse to give responses to things like malicious codes or phishing emails. However, once this malware overrides ChatGPT’s regular coding, hackers can then pretend to be another person or even a business and generate phishing emails. Hackers only have to pay costs of $6 for every 100 queries, and they will then have access to all kinds of tips and examples of bad content that they can generate on ChatGPT.
