Threat actors were recently seen advertising fake ChatGPT apps for Windows and Android. When downloaded, the apps will steal sensitive information or subscribe the victim to premium services.
Cybercriminals are exploiting the popularity of OpenAl’s ChatGPT tool to steal users’ sensitive
information through phishing links or distribute malware for Android and Windows.
For those not in the know, ChatGPT is an Al-powered conversational chatbot launched back in November 2022. ChatGPT can answer questions and assist with tasks like generating content and writing code. It has since become wildly popular, with an analyst claiming that it gained more than 100 million users last month.
One of the ways threat actors are taking advantage of ChatGPT is by launching fraudulent tools promising uninterrupted access to the chatbot.
