Technologies related to artificial intelligence have been all the rage in recent months. ChatGPT, Bard or Midsommar are well known today, but do you know FraudGPT, the ChatGPT of cybercriminals?
A tool for creating cyberattacks
FraudGPT presents itself as an alternative to ChatGPT with a somewhat special specialization: that of being a tool for hackers of all kinds and capable of greatly accelerating them in their malicious creations.
This bot is capable of producing particularly credible phishing emails. Indeed, by using a generative AI, it is possible to obtain precise information on companies quickly, without having to search for them manually. Similarly, the phishing email is entirely written by FraudGPT, all that remains is to send it, which unfortunately allows hackers to be much more efficient in their operations.
Beyond the possibilities offered by FraudGPT for phishing, artificial intelligence also makes it possible to generate undetectable malware, to quickly find existing vulnerabilities within companies and many other interesting features for any hacker.
A tool for confirmed hackers, but not only…
Around July 22, 2023, the first emails referring to FraudGPT began circulating. The relatively affordable price of $200 per month is worth highlighting, which makes this AI attractive to customers due to the many possibilities it offers. Indeed, the bot seems to benefit from at least 3000 confirmed positive reviews.
This low price also allows novices to get started in the field of cybercrime, since the AI can provide them with lines of code, phishings and malware ready to use. Between emails from a confirmed cybercriminal, this tool turns out to be even more dangerous. Indeed, as for ChatGPT, the more the user masters his subject and the tool he uses, the more he is able to produce qualitative content.
It is worrying to see that these AIs used in the service of cybercrime continue to spread. Faced with this situation, it becomes crucial to redouble our efforts to counter these illegal activities and protect cybersecurity.
Confirmation of a trend
FraudGPT is not the first artificial intelligence specially designed for cybercriminals. A precursor exists under the name “WormGPT” which shares similar functionality.
However, with FraudGPT emerging as a new solution using artificial intelligence dedicated to cybercrime, a trend of developing these technologies in this area is taking shape. Faced with this reality, it is imperative to strengthen collective efforts to mitigate the risks associated with cybercrime. The implementation of technical security measures and awareness will become even more worrying subjects for companies, and this from now on.
