CHATGPT, THE CREDENTIALS OF OVER 100,000 COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS APPEAR ON THE DARK WEB
June 20, 2023
A new report shared by Group-IB with The Hacker News shines a light on over 100,000 compromised ChatGPT account credentials that were reportedly posted on the dark web between June 2022 and May 2023.
Credentials come from practically all over the world : 16,951 users are affected for Europe, but the Asia-Pacific region is the most affected with “the highest concentration of ChatGPT credentials for sale in the last year”.
The analysis carried out by the research group underlines how most of the logs containing ChatGP T accounts have been stolen by Raccoon, followed by Vidar and RedLine.
Concerning Group-IB is the fact that more and more companies are integrating ChatGPT into their tools. “ Since the standard ChatGPT configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a mine of sensitive information to cybercriminals if they manage to obtain account credentials, ” the report reads.
To mitigate the risks as much as possible, the researchers recommend following the classic best practices: use appropriate passwords, alphanumeric, with special characters and symbols and activate two-factor authentication.
Yesterday the news emerged that ChatGPT is able to generate activation keys for Windows 11 and 10 Pro , if you ask it "kindly" and with some forethought.
