Unlocking the Potential of Open AI: Understanding the Cyber Risk It Poses

Just a few months ago, OpenAI released their new chatbot software, ChatGPT. Immediately, people began using it to create all sorts of things, including malware. That’s right, ChatGPT is already being used by malicious actors to generate new, never-before-seen malware scripts. And these people are likely people who would never have written malware before, thanks to the ease of use of ChatGPT. With just a few clicks, anyone can now generate a sophisticated malware script that can do all sorts of damage. All it takes is a bit of creativity and imagination. Already, we’re seeing all sorts of new malware being created with ChatGPT, and it’s only going to get worse. So be vigilant, and don’t let ChatGPT be used for evil. 

 The reason why this is so concerning is that ChatGPT is a powerful tool. It can generate entire scripts from scratch, and it can learn from the data it is given. This means that it can take existing malware and use it to create even more dangerous variants or create entirely new pieces of malware from scratch. This is a serious threat, and it is why it is so important to be aware of how ChatGPT is being used. Already, ChatGPT is being used to create malware that targets specific platforms, such as Windows and macOS. This means that it is no longer just a generic threat, but one that can specifically target certain systems. This makes it even more dangerous. It can also be used to create payloads that can be used to steal data or gain access to systems.  

Another worrisome aspect of ChatGPT is the fact that it can be used to generate scripts that are nearly impossible to detect. This is because the code generated by ChatGPT can be highly obfuscated and complex, making it difficult for traditional malware detection systems to detect it. This is why it is so important to be aware of how ChatGPT is being used, and to make sure that your system is properly secured and protected against any potential attacks.  

As ChatGPT can write code that is not easily detected by traditional antivirus solutions, now is a great time to re-evaluate your cyber-security tools. TLC recommends the use of a Extended Detection and Response tool that detects unusual behaviors on your network. We’d love to talk to you about our OneLock solution 

In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can be used by malicious actors to create all sorts of malicious scripts and payloads. It is highly dangerous, and it is important to be aware of how it is being used and to ensure that your system is properly secured. With the right knowledge and vigilance, we can all help to prevent ChatGPT from being used to generate malware and other malicious scripts.
