A MALICIOUS copy of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been created by a bad actor and its aim is to take your money.
The evil AI is called WormGPT, and it was created by a hacker for sophisticated email phishing attacks.
Cybersecurity firm SlashNext confirmed the artificially intelligent language bot had been created purely for malicious purposes. The firm explained in a report: “Our team recently gained access to a tool known as ‘WormGPT’ through a prominent online forum that’s often associated with cybercrime.
“This tool presents itself as a blackhat alternative to GPT models, designed specifically for malicious activities.”
The cyber experts experimented with WormGPT to see just how dangerous it could be.
They asked it to create phishing emails and found the results disturbing.
“The results were unsettling. WormGPT produced an email that was not only remarkably persuasive but also strategically cunning, showcasing its potential for sophisticated phishing and BEC attacks.
“In summary, it is similar to ChatGPT but has no ethical boundaries, or limitations,” the experts wrote.
SlashNext says WormGPT is an example of the threat that programmers who compose the language-generative AI models pose.
