CHATGPT, THE CREDENTIALS OF OVER 100,000 COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS APPEAR ON THE DARK WEBJune 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. | ||
