Rising Concerns Over Malicious ChatGPT and AI-Generated Malware

A security researcher has created powerful data-mining malware using OpenAI's generative chatbot, ChatGPT, in just a few hours. The malware disguises itself as a screensaver app and steals data from Windows devices, hiding it within images uploaded to a Google Drive folder. The researcher was able to refine and strengthen the code against detection using simple prompts on ChatGPT. This raises concerns about the strength of ChatGPT's protections and the potential for hackers to use it to create malware. It is a reminder to always have good antivirus software running on devices to protect against malware.
