It seems that ChatGPT It is not the most secure platform on the planet, thousands of accounts of this Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform would have been hacked to end up being sold on the Dark Web and everything would be derived from the weakest point of its system: the users themselves.
The chatbot of Open AI It has positioned itself as the most popular AI on the planet and to this day all the other launched platforms, such as Google Bard, continue to fight to reach their user quota. At the same time that many fear for the future of their jobs.
However such a level of popularity with ChatGPT could not be perfect and free of incidents. This is how we discovered it now that the news is beginning to circulate that many active user accounts of this platform are for sale in the darkest corners of the internet.
A situation that highlights the importance of not downloading software that we are not sure of its reliability.
And to choose individual passwords for each account that we create, since this constitutes a risk for all the platforms where we have access with the same password.
How ChatGPT accounts sold on the Dark Web were hacked
A report from the Singapore-based cyber research firm Group-IB It states that there are currently more than 100,000 ChatGPT accounts that are currently for sale on dark web marketing sites.
Each of these accounts would have been hacked through the use of different programs malware that steal information from private users. Therefore, strictly speaking, the OpenAI platform would not have been directly attacked.
According to the report, forty percent of these leaked accounts would belong to users from the Asia-Pacific region. Where India would rank first on the list with more than 12,500 stolen ChatGPT accounts.
Brazil would be in the third position with the highest number of stolen accounts with 6,531 compromised accounts.
While the United States would rank sixth with 3,000 unauthorized logins as a result of stolen account access credentials.
Latin America would also have been a victim of this credential theft with more than 12,314 stolen accounts with unauthorized verified logins.
So the vast majority of the damage to this Latin area would be concentrated in Brazil.
