Through malicious emails and codes, the artificial intelligence (AI) of ChatGPT allows any user, without prior knowledge of cybersecurity, to can launch a cyber attacka cyberthreat that has generated concern on the Internet.
It is the OpenAI company, the same one behind AI programs such as DALL-E and confused by the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, that created ChatGPT, which is basically a text writing bot that is a trend on the Internet and networks social.
The software behind ChatGPT is GPT-3, which has once again aroused interest among Internet users and network users, who are now seeing how they can become hackers with this AI, available for free on the developer’s page that only ask to have an account.
According to the report published on the website of Europe PressCheck Point researchers, an Israel-based computer security company, have been on alert for the dangers that this tool can generate.
According to Eusebio Nieva, technical director of the company, “anyone with minimal resources and zero coding knowledge can easily exploit it”.
The “dangerous evolution” of artificial intelligence”
Nieva also talked about both ChatGPT and Codex, an artificial intelligence model that analyzes natural language and generates code in response. For the experts, bothrepresent another step forward in the dangerous evolution of increasingly sophisticated and effective cyber capabilities”.
“This is a new and developing technology that can affect the threat landscape, both for better and for worse.”, he stressed.
To confirm threats, Check Point, with ChatGPT, created a phishing email posing as a trusted source and containing an Excel document capable of downloading reverse shellsa type of attack that seeks to connect to a PC and redirect the connections of the target system so that the attacker can access it remotely.
In the meantime, with Codex they generated the malicious code that allowed them to make different requests to the operating system of the infected computer.
Researchers from this cybersecurity firm have verified the cyberthreat posed by these artificial intelligence software. They used both tools and confirmed that they can create malicious emails, code, and an entire infection chain with the ability to access other computers remotely.
